they handle it with all the swiftness of a snail stuck in molasses.. -qwik

i love the game.. to me its not about the stuff you get from being successful at something.. its about what you become in the process of achievment.. -qwik

yeah.. last year was a circus with soutwest securities.. they kept sending me corrected versions of my 1099 until mid march.. it was a good thing i didnt file early.. but legally they are supposed to send these things postmarked by Jan 31st.. so hopefully our forms are just hung up in the...

version.. i havent ever used preferredtrade.. but i dont have my cybertrader 1099 from penson yet.. all of the others made it here already though.. kind of a pain to chase these things down.. -qwik

patterns fail because they don't exist.. they are a creative illusion in the mind of the trader who desires a repetition of order in chaos.. just as the brush strokes of a master painter are wholly his own, the interpretation and recognition of chart patterns belong to the trader.. to...

easyrider check and see if you have it set to switch servers automatically.. if so, you might want to have it prompt you first so that you dont lose the connection without warning.. ive been using qcharts for over 2 years now.. for the most part i really dont have any complaints...

Funster.. hitting walls.. technical analysis doesnt work.. several weeks losing streak.. frustration.. wanting to take bigger size in spite of it all.. man, im not trying to tell you what to do.. but maybe you should back off for a few days.. refocus.. maybe trade a simulator until...

wow.. futures accounts arent insured are they? -qwik

if you are trading 100k, for 100 share lots, why go to bright? because commissions will be cheaper with IB as you increase size.. plus no 200 a month in fees for software that may or may not do what you need it to do.. being labeled a "pro" so you pay pro exchange fees.. the fact that Bright...

actually.. i dont want to turn the toolbar off.. i use it.. i just dont want it to take up my entire screen.. they could chop about 2/3 of it off or go back to the old one.. i mean, what the heck were the programmers thinking? (smoking).. MS Office doesnt have big ass icons on its tool...

i dropped realmoney when todd left too.. they replaced him with a bunch of chat room moderators whose commentary is useless in that format (and for quite a few of them, useless in any format).. plus, cramer got out of the trading business and into the tv business.. nothing wrong with that...

hapaboy.. a bullet is just a married put.. it gives you a synthetic long position to allow you to sell the common short without the normally required uptick.. think of them as buying the right to short a stock on a downtick, not actually taking a position in the underlying stock.. -qwik

easyrider.. i just switched to the nq as well because of the significant difference in commissions and the more favorable tax treatment.. the nq has a slightly different feel to me.. and requires a little better timing.. but its not really different that trading the qqq on island.. -qwik

Catoosa.. i use tradelog which automatically imports from ib reports and makes the short sale designations for me.. you might want to give it a try.. -qwik

i just started trading the e-mini with ib.. so far im happy.. sometimes the tws loses its connection but it is very infrequent.. it seems the software gets better and better with every release.. with the exception of those huge ass icons.. -qwik

easyrider.. i just started trading the emini last week.. what ive noticed is that if i send a limit order to buy at the best offer i usually get filled there.. but if my limit is .50 or 1 point away, ive gotten filled half a point away too when the market is jumpy.. but i think what...

most of the ecns are very fast.. mkxt is a little slow on confirms sometimes though.. MASH is a market maker by the way.. alot depends on your broker.. do they have a direct line to all ecns or are they hitting them with selectnet?.. but as a rule of thumb, if you are going to be...

hapaboy.. the thing about trading breakouts is to anticipate the anticipators.. you dont want to chase a breakout more than a few pennies over the break price if you get in late.. often, they pull back to the break area before making a move anyway.. but here is what you want to look at...

hitman.. nice man.. congratulations =) -qwik

Kicking.. take a look at the the trin reading yesterday.. the tick doesnt have the same feel when you have an extreme reading in the TRIN, which climbed over 3 yesterday afternoon.. -qwik
