Well it depends when you entered and when you exited, there was a great statistical arbitrage opportunity after it skyrocketed, I mean how could that company be the largest company in the world, as it was that day, I don't trade euro shares, but I sure did wish I did that day, didn't take much...

thanks, pt finder does have a portfolio management feature, however i think its crap and don't use it, so I just export my brokerage results to excel and cruch my numbers in a spreadsheet.

Thanks, yes I have had second thoughts about posting my succesful trading strategy on these forums however there are intricacies to my trading plan that I haven't revealed plus successful trading is 90% disclipine & 10% method so Im not worried about others stealing my edge, plus I take the...

No ive never had a problem taking a cross-exchange pair trades. I don't trade ETF's yet, i have thought about incorprating them into my trading plan however, something else to think about i guess.

not quite, ive found trading fulltime 9-5 can be quite bad for you mentally and physically once the novelty wears off, mostly mentally it really takes a toll on you and it aint good to stare at numbers/screen for too long with 110% concentration the whole time, i use to daytrade a lot and it...

We traders have a saying ''those who can't trade try to give crap to those who can''

Yes you have to add them one by one which is a bit time consuming, i think of it as a labour of love :) however I think they said on their forum they are updating the program to import stock lists at once, looking forward to that. Im only trading US stocks atm, was looking to get into LSE...

Yes my account doesn't usually see 20% swings in several days, but as I and others predicted when the turmoil subsided many of my pairs returned to their norm very quickly, I don't think thats a normal event only because of the craziness of the last several weeks. my profit has been growing...

Yes close. Say I want to purchase $10,000 of each stock I divide 10,000 / share price = shares long/short.

I can see what your getting at here, however as mentioned if one stock in a pair is significantly more volatile that the other stock you shouldn't be trading that pair because the two stocks aren't that similar, in a ideal world adjusting position size for each side based on volatility makes...
