    American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China,

    I am totally cool with that. The Made In USA sneaks, that is. Won't hurt folks to wear them out instead of wear them a couple months and toss them. Won't hurt a thing to make more manufacturing jobs for Americans. Now, many of you here are too young to remember this, but bear with me. Believe it...

    Wow WTF happened at 1110 this morning? Did Elbonia have a successful nuclear test in Baltimore? Looks like I will be holding a bunch of stuff for a few days. I should have had TVIX and SQQQ on speed dial. Holding LUV, AMD, and I got 200 shares of BYND that I will probably sell out of at closing...

    TWS chart bug

    There should be an icon in the toolbar (you may have to put it there yourself) that adjusts the width of the candles. Sometimes I have to use it. No biggie.

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    The fact remains that Greenland is for the Greenlanders and they probably do not want to become Americans. Just as most Americans probably would not want to become Greenlanders. I would welcome Greenland becoming part of the US but not against the wishes of the people there. We have military...

    Have You Ever Found Anything That Compares To Trading?

    coral snakes are terrestrial. If you see one in the water, he got washed out there in a flood. Red touches yellow, kills a fellow

    Does trendline work?

    Agree here. Big difference between trend line and moving average.

    VWAP now that I know how to get it on TWS will definitely be on the charts tomorrow. Too late on the BYND LOL! I am holding 100 shares right now. If it retouches the high of the day I will definitely have a green day. Playing TQQQ also. Giving it plenty of room today and it is in a nice but...

    Does trendline work?

    Trend Lines. The I Ching wands of the stock market.

    Does trendline work?

    Well, it would have made perfect sense if only there were a half dozen moving averages, multicolored itchy-moku clouds, Bollinger, and VWAP and a Dilbert cartoon added to it.

    So today I was a very busy trader. Busy losing money. $161, my biggest loss to date. Had a very exciting time, and learned myself some more lessons. I didn't see much at the open in the way of stocks in play, so I bought some QQQ to hang onto for a while, and day traded some more. Traded...

    Practical differences between Limit Buy order and Market Limit Buy order

    I was just trying to figure out Andrew Aziz's suggestion in one of his books to use that type order and I didn't see what the difference in outcome could possibly be from a plain old Limit order. I have been using limit at the ask. When I don't get filled I either don't worry about it or just...

    Knowing who to blame puts you halfway there to fixing it.

    Why isn't IB up here defending themselves?

    Security. I am handling MONEY with my computers. WinDOHs is an inherently insecure OS. It is closed source. It has a gigantic back door built right in to the system. It has an ineffective user/file privilege system. It requires drivers to use practically any piece of hardware you hook up to it...

    Why isn't IB up here defending themselves?

    No, I wouldn't say it is easy to use. That is, it is not a simple app. It is really busy. Lots of stuff to do and tweak. Even if you have experience trading, you would still want to paper trade for a while, to figure out how to do all the stuff you need to do, and customize it to your needs and...

    Why isn't IB up here defending themselves?

    The platform is TWS. IB is just the broker. I don't think anybody has serious issues with IB, the brokerage. Some guys don't like the platform, which is TWS. If you are already using DAS Trader you can use it with IB. I can't, because it won't run on Linux. Stuck with TWS but I don't find it to...

    beginner technical analysis

    I don't think he was calling you an idiot either directly or indirectly. Personal statistics can be very valuable, especially when you are losing money. Lately I just started re reading my favorite books (again, one more time!) on day trading stocks, this time armed with sticky notes and a...
