Might be a customer service issue rather than liquidity. My IB account was froze once, without warning. I found out about it when I tried to place a trade. They froze it due to my country of origin. Then it took them a long time to get it unfrozen, and they were slow to respond to email...

Well, not sure what the right terminology is for what he wants to do. He's not going to be married to his position. With oil for example I'm going to recommend he buy at 50 and sell around 100, unless there is some geopolitical factor. FXI though I would think that is more of a buy and hold...

Ok. So oil seems to be getting alot of supporters. I think we will go with oil.

Another investment I was wondering about is Oil. Jim Rogers said it will be back up again.

Hello. My brother want to invest in the market and I was wondering what he should start buying. I told him now is a good time to get involved and a good strategy is to dollar cost average in good companies, ETF's, and perhaps some heavily beat up sectors like the financials and housing. 1...

Thanks everyone. Zecco has low commission, especially if you have over 2500. But ThinkorSwim seems to have better trading platform. I will need to do more research.

What is a good online broker for long term trading of stocks and etfs? Looking for something with low commission. Good order entry platform. 2k account.

Thanks. I'm testing it out now. Looks like it will work for me.

I got an API related error when trying to setup bracket trader. Again, like ZLT they got the one dude working out of his home feel. I'm looking for something more professional and widely used. I looked at button trader briefly but have not tested it out.

I heard good reviews about ZLT so I gave the demo a try on IB simulated trading. Could not get the stop loss to trigger on the DOM. And the close position button didn't work. Perhaps I'm not following the setup instructions properly. Either way, there are lots of setup procedures to...

Hello. I'm looking for a DOM for Interactive Brokers. Tried Zeroline trader but it didn't work for me.

Thanks. If single stock futures are not a good alternative I may do that. :)

According to: http://sonrayglobal.com.au/info/pattern_day_traders_faq "Please note that Futures contracts, Futures Options and Single Stock Futures are not included in the SEC Day Trade rule."

Thanks. I think SSF might work.

Hello. I currently trade YM, but do not want to risk more than $50 a trade, which is difficult to do in these volatile times. Are there any Dow based instruments that will allow me to trade with wider stops but risk $50 per trade. I looked into DIA but I don't have the required 25K to...

You are welcome.

In 2001 I purchased a 2 unit house (Front house and 1 efficiency in back, and enough land to add another unit or small appartment with on site parking) in Lubbock, TX, walking distance to Texas Tech University, for 53K, and with imporvements it totaled 58K. Currently renting out for total of...

I live in Dallas. It is one of the nices cities in Texas. I like Austin personally, but it is more humid and home prices are higher. On the other hand it has great natural beauty, and lots of clubs and restaurants. But Dallas is nice as well. I agree, much better than Houston in all...

"Greater returns through superior technology" I think they claim.

I live in DFW as well. Plano and Richardson are nice places to live. Would be interested in a trading group.
