I always use a hard stop, but adjust it to the trade as in the previous post. Using a stop takes all the stress out of a trade for me, which helps a lot imo. Jay

Thanks Def. Jay

Anyone know how to configure the settings for bracket trading with IB? Note, I do not wish to know how to use "Bracket Trader", only how to configure the bracket trading settings in IB. I figure people here will know more than IB's customer support. Thanks, Jay

Ffast trade less than 4.80? I do over 372 per month, so will have to look into that! Speed. No one beats IB for speed. Maybe the same, but not faster. My fills are literally instantaneous when using market orders (which I generally don't do). Anyone with slower results must have net...

ebay. final bids range from $20 to about 65 per card. I tried 3 different times and finally got one for $33 including shipping! now to see if the thing works? Jay

My IB quotes and those on Q charts are the same. Jay

I'd add Lumber and Oats to that list. REALLY illiquid. These markets are great for position trading as they trend really well when they take off. Horrible for day trading of course. I day traded everything when first starting out. Now I will only daytrade electronic markets. Won't...

I agree. The big money is position trading. I day trade primarily because it fits my personality better. As for day trading being around for only 5 - 7 years? I've been day trading since 1987, and it was around before that. I had to use a satellite, and data was expensive as hell, but it...
