Selling puts is an *extremely* inadvisable strategy!! Why? simply look at the nature of the trade. You are looking at a predefined profit (the premium you receive) and are open to unlimited risk!! As a trader I'm sure that you would agree that the exact opposite is the ideal.... that...

forget about ideas/suggestions! I want to know the secret to your endurance!!

I dunno....I've heard some horror stories about SIPC not paying out (sorry can't remember link offhand but I'll look for it) my point is that it isnt rock solid.

Haven't tried it but I have spoken to them (through e-mail extensively) It seems that they have taken Donchian's work (40 day channel breakout) and added some money mgmt. The money mgmt is what they push a lot on the site. Personally I think that you don't need to spend $1000 on their...

just wanted to close this thread by mentioning that the problem was caused by my video card's (Matrox G450 dual head) driver. *NOT* by the program!

I agree with Robert, however I must commend you on the courage it takes to put yourself on the board. A few things I noticed in your language: "I was getting embarassed...I did not want to be down on ....." I would recommend reading "Trading in the Zone" by Douglas (*not* Kiev's book with same...

thank you everyone for your input/help. I will contact IB and see what they recommend.

I can guarantee (well sort of <g>) that if IB adds a few more functionalities to their software (trailing stops is up there) they will cream the other direct access guys. I mean who the hell can compete with them on commissions!!?

I just spoke with a rep at TS and for the first time they gave me the straight goods. They have been having massive problems with their servers. The upgrade is being used as smoke screen to cover up a major upgrade that is needed as well as repairing some really out of whack servers. I was...

how about this? http://www.neo-ips.com/neopages/download_form_neo.htm haven't tried it but thought I would just throw it in here for those that might want to give it a whirl

WoW was terrible!! I tried it out for a few days (they have a free trial) There was a tonne of quote errors (I wasn't even trying and I found 15 in 3 days!) Holidays are jumbled up in the chart printing a double price point identical to the day before the holiday (rather than skipping it) Intra...
