for those that use IB, can you do Don's strategy using them? thanks

all i have to say is.....the day trading rule. HOW DOES THIS BENEFIT ME?!? all it does is tie a hand behind the backs of all the people with smaller account sizes.

lol a commercial that bugs me is the td waterhouse one with the old guy in a chair acting real serious.

my brokerage does not allow OO orders. besides changing brokers, is there any way i can use a variation of this method using its principles? thanks
