Wow thats scary, 20:1 leverage. How do you protect against taking a hard hit?

What is this scalping? That is a lot of shares to pocket only 400 dollars?

I did not trade today, busy reading on stuff but I did keep an eye on the screens and things looked brutal I was spooked and did not buy GE today I think it might stay down all week. These Banks are always having issues, I wonder how long will this last.

Glad I sold yesterday and took my profits. Looks like today got bad as heck. I should have bought GE but I did not feel comfortable jumping in on a bad friday over a weekend. Is there more selloff to happen monday, This was a pretty big drop. The screens were filled with sell orders.

Thats what I am using the candle stick charts 1 minute with volume on the other half. I am going to watch that video in the evening to get more knowledge. I notice when the volume starts to go down with more some more reds than green then things seem to settle down. I also filter the...

I just sold at 31.02 It looks like it does not want to go much higher past up to 31.10 hopefully If they are not going to trade why bother putting in those prices? I like looking at all the different screens, real interesting stuff, Whats amazing is how all this stuff is fed so fast to the...

I cancelled my GE limit order this morning I want to see if it goes over 31.10 ? I noticed on the level II quotes ask for crazy prices like HDSN 199,999.99 100 What is that all about? Is it possible if a buyer fatfingers an order that that guy will sell at that price? I see even bids...

Wow lots of cool videos and free. Nice that they offer all those resources for customers.

Must really suck to work in those cubicles I would get claustrophobic.

Well I sold GE again today and bought again. It sold at 30.70 and I ended up buying at 30.34 this time. I will set the limit at 30.75 for tomorrow to sell. My profit ended up today 380.02 after removing commission better than yesterday. I wonder how many times you can do this over and...

where are these archived seminars on etrade. Sounds like a nice training tool. I will look at those books, thanks.

But it seems unfair, I know the people voting for Obama think it is a good idea but maybe the people who will vote for him have no investments? These limits should only unlock for individuals making 250K or more and for a family, make it 500K or more. Better yet. do not tax dividends at...

My big concern is what are they going to do with dividends? Right now it is max 15% but I heard obama wants to make it 28%? That sounds pretty bad, all dividend stocks will end up selling off since no one will want to take that hit. I also read long term capital gains to go over 15% to...

I still have lots to learn that is why I am sticking to one stock for now and learning to do well with one stock. GE seems safe enough that I will not end up having worthless shares. There is so much to learn, I like watching the level II stuff but it seems pretty complex. I like to switch to...

With bush the war companies and big oil companies did pretty good. What kind of companies do you think will do well under obama? I am taking a wild guess but something like GE could do better? They never did too well since 2000 What about tech stocks, maybe they will do well as well...

But afterhours is not the same thing. I am talking about 100% open markets the whole thing.

I bought 1000 shares of General electric using etrade marketrader via a limit order. I put i trade in yesterday for a limit of 30.25 since it looked like the price of that stock hits at least 30.30 or under. It automatically bought the 1000 shares for me and then I had a sell order set for...

Since this is a global economy why not have a day and night shift and leave a 4 hour period closed. Keep the markets open tue-saturday. so weekenders who have full time jobs can trade on a saturday and regular weeknights.

I read that now there is some kind of darknet where some of the bigger firms trade with each other on a different type of network so that the transactions do not show up on the regular tape. I am not sure if that is true or not.. So bots are those quantitive trading programs right?

I am looking at the tape and I notice sometimes you will see things like 30.82 5000 30.82 5000 30.82 5000 30.83 5000 why not just 1 trade at 20000? and whats with the weird trades that have odd counts, like 30.72 10147 etc..
