Yep, I can attest to that. I'm a new trader as well. I got tired of trading 1000 shares with a 0.05 stop loss and getting the ol' "death by a thousand cuts". ...so I decided to only trade 100 shares at a time with a mental stop so I wouldn't lose as much. Well...to this day, that is still my...

Okay, that must be why you are profitable and I am not. Because I have no idea WTF you just said. LOL :D

Listen asshole...If I pay for real-time quotes, I want real-time quotes, not quotes from 3 seconds ago. Okay. Why do you have a problem with that? I know why you have a problem with it. Either one of two explainations: 1) You work at eSignal. 2) You are 39 years old, a virgin and you live...

I have an idea: Go fuck yourself.

-312.50 Can't get into synch anymore. Guess I'll scale down until I figure out what my problem is. One thing I did different is: I tried to stop taking profits to soon today. That blew up in my face. I sat and watched a couple trades that were up over a hundred bucks turn into break even...

Anyone else experiencing a 2-3 second delay in the esignal feed? I was placing orders and seeing them getting filled at prices that that stock didn't even trade at yet according to eSignal's tape. Also, I'd see my p/l number moving in IB when eSignal's tape was dead still. Finally I compared...

I like yellow submarines.

I'll take two, thanks. :D -723.75 Ouch!!! :mad: I was going to sleep in and not trade today, too. Dang it. Well, I guess the silver lining is that this is still my first profitable month since I started in December. +571.43 for March. Bleh, that is pathetic. :(

I've been audited plenty of times. No big deal. Besides, my tax guy at H&R is their senior tax advisor and is retired from Smith Barney. If he does me wrong, I'll be back here to admit I was wrong... Anyway, GreenTraderTax.com is a ripoff IMHO. I'd have pay several thousand for them to do my...

Was up 230ish. Then the market got choppier on me and I took a couple rapes like a man. Ended up +105 Still up nicely on the month. First profitable month since I started trading in Dec. Up +1295.18 Only one trading dat left.

I have H&R working on mine as we speak. I started trading in Dec. '07 and ended up with over 400 trades last year. It's been a nightmare for H&R, though. A lot of forms needed aren't in H&R's system. Hell, some documentation that needs submitted is a handwritten letter, there is no form...

Tough day again. I could make more money working at Taco Bell. :p +62.50

I hate you.

+60.04 I suck. :)

I wish I would have stayed out today. I broke the nice little run I had going. Oh well, can't win them all. Sorry, no blotter on losing days. -193.50 :(

I'm up, which is always good, but I'm not happy with my trading today. I've left thousands on the table by snatching profits too damn early. Here's an interesting development: This is my first positive month since I started trading in Dec. '07! :eek: *knock on wood*

Only one trade today because I was visiting with the tax man this morning. Then, since I missed the open, I decided to do some yard work. :cool: Anywho, made $114.20 in 3min 18sec on one trade. Not too bad.

Hahaha :D

WTH? I made $320 today and no one patted me on the back! :p

I've been having problems, too. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121093 Today I couldn't exit a position in UAUA. I had like 3 pending sell market orders with an orange status! I had to call the trading desk. Luckily, the stock was moving in my direction as I waited...
