    Can you withdraw money after funding $5k in TradeStation account?

    Yes, you can. But why? You're just going to have to refund it sooner if you dont trade enough to waive fees. Its not like you're going to make huge $ in interest. If you're after the platform there are better/equivalent ones. Neoticker for one. Multicharts is nearly identical to TS and...

    I went to the store today and concluded that rates are going up.

    This isnt the article I wanted but close enough. To go along with Mavs Big Mac Index here is Stamp price index. Price has gone up twice since this article. As long as you dont eat, heat/cool your home or drive, or have insurance there is no inflation. Trading will be the last (or first...

    Trading is a Giant Scam!

    Cant speak for Steve, BnB but it took me: 19 years and 3 blow outs, taking crappy jobs at night and on the weekends, so I could have my days free to train. Blank stares and derision from relatives, friends, and strangers when they asked what I did. Purchase of more snake-oil than I thought...

    Best 24 inch monitor?

    I use Gateway 2485w. Great monitor. If you can get the Dell 2405 (not 2407) that is excellent monitor as well. Those are 24" Gateway also makes a very nice 22". The 2275w. I use that one also. No complaints. Samsung 204b is very nice 20" And Dell 1905 model is outstanding 19"

    End of day software with screener for stocks/etf's

    BrownsFan, I dont think so but Im not certain. Never tried it. Maybe in version 2.0 because the charts are upgraded. I know that you can annotate in both. Perhaps in a watchlist. I'll try it and see. You can also get a definitive answer in either the forums or emailing admin.

    Daytrade eCbot 30 year T-Bond

    I trade Bonds. As far as "daytrading" bonds, you are going to have to define your terms. Certainly you are not going to be scalping bonds on a 1 min or even 5 min basis. For 1 or 2 ticks? Whats the point unless you're trading 100 lot or more. Not exactly the best R/R unless you have a 90%...

    Is there a solution for Economic Inequality?

    Exactly rcanfiel. Please dont mistake my post for kill or be killed. Take Christopher Reeve. If he wasnt "Superman" and had resources he would not lived nearly as long. We are all just one accident away from needing help. What should we do throw him away in the garbage? Hardly...

    Funny how those homeless guys on the freeway off ramps always seem to have enough scratch for a pack of smokes and some Thunderbird wine. Maybe the end is not near?

    As I recall he mentioned one of his strategies was similar to musical notation. Of course the band is playing only music he can hear. Strange guy. Learn what you can but I would definitely not emulate his risk manangement strategies.
