Amadeus Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not, I actually have the photoreading course at home. I've gotten about 1/3 of the way through it, but I lost faith in it when I read a few negative comments by some people who had tried it. Plus it's so hard to 'suspend my disbelief' that it will...

OK, so what does this have to do with trading? I'm studying for the Series 7. It's insane how much information you have to know. I'm missing practice questions because, for example, I forgot one feature out of 5 on a CMO or a GNMA. Has anyone taken a speed reading or memory improvement...

I've had several trades busted. I had one recently where I clicked on something completely by accident, and ended up shorting a $17 stock at $15. I contacted the broker (IB) and requested that the trade be busted, but the counter party wasn't obligated to comply because the price ($15) wasn't...

If I remember correctly, there are a few options available. I received an email from http:www.stormchasertech.com a while back, and they had a deal with S&P Comstock in which you could try Stormchaser's software for a free week, and if you don't already have access to Real Tick, S&P would give...

Just curious what operating system you're using. If it's not Win NT or 2000, that could be your problem.

Fohat Where did you see that the uptick rule is going away for liquid stocks?

I have an unusual problem with the display on my monitors. It's kind of hard to explain, but right now I'm looking at a web page, and most of the text is readable, but a lot of the screen choices are blurry. I know 'screen choices' is probably the wrong terminology. Look at the Elitetrader home...

Baron One thing I see repeatedly is threads ending up in the wrong discussion forum. I believe that when newer members start a new thread, they don't automatically realize that the threads are organized under different forums, or they don't realize how to put the thread under a specific...

If anyone is interested I have nearly a year's worth of emails from Steve Woods in which he gave weekly analysis of stocks that met the criteria of his float analysis theories. If one wanted to test the validity of F.A., I think the best way to do this would be to look at his past emails and see...

rtharp You may want to let your dad (or whoever) know that there is some kind of problem with ordering at their website. I've tried to order the peak performance course several times this week, and I always get an error. I contacted them earlier this week, but it's still not fixed.

I don't trade NYSE stocks that much, but the last couple days I've had some trades that seem like they should have been executed. There are 3 possibilities here; I'm trying to figure out which is the case. 1) My broker doesn't offer the best route to NYSE stocks. It's Interactive Brokers. Do...

I was thinking of looking into NLP, but that website looks awfully New Ageish.

Dustin I don't know if you're still playing with pairs, but EchoTrade is giving a seminar in October, and one of the areas of focus is going to be pairs trading. I talked with a guy at Echo today, and he mentioned that this type of trading has been successful lately, so there might be more of...

I tried out his room for a couple weeks quite a while back. I didn't try following a small group of stocks like he suggested. Instead, I wrote down all his entry points for all his stocks, and then later that day pulled up one minute charts on all of them. I didn't do this every single day...

Hey Pre Not sure I follow your rationale about short covering. Why wouldn't that hypothetical short have bought to cover at 5? at 3? or at 2? From the chart it doesn't look like anyone has stepped up to cover at any of these price levels. If I were short a lot at, say, 30, I'd be covering a...

I'm sick to death of that commercial, but that's pretty funny

Hey Turok I've always been curious exactly how stocks like AMAT follow futures. I've never been able to get a straight answer from anyone exactly how this works. I've heard a couple people say that if you listen to a live sqwak box, you can judge if a futures move is for real by how loud the...

I may be doing just that. I really don't know how to prevent doing this; I'm sure my hand is just slipping a millimeter when I right click. I don't see any way of not making this mistake on occasion. I guess I'd like info on how I can disable this, or something. I can't imagine I'm the only one...

The search feature is not working at all for me.
