Why don't you use the symbol search feature. It was one of the few things that actually worked during my 5 year tenure at Esignal. It's all in the help menu.

This is platform dependant, that's what a stop order is. By definitiion, once the stop price is hit, it turns into a market order. If the market opened limit up, it would be executed at that level. IB does have a few adjustments like good till canceled versus day only. Also, you can adjust...

My group has used exactly this method for many years and it works fine in all markets.

2 or 3% max

This will work almost every time if you really do it: Talk to yourself (inside your head) in a sleepy, groggy tone of voice, yawn, etc. It doesn't matter one iota what the content of what your saying is. It's the structure of the tone. Talk sleepy, and you will likely fall asleep very...

Could you please explain to me how >50% is "not that high"?

5 to 10% is absolutely doable. My group does this with virtually zero drawdown too. Diversification is achieved through trading uncorrelated markets, so I agree with Seth, don't restrict yourself to just forex (and I'd trade CME futures before cash forex). From my experience, the key to low...

Is there no Chicago Traders Expo for 2006? Usually in mid-summer, nothing appears on www.tradersexpo.com .

There is no book that will teach you how to trade in a consistantly profitable manner, especially not scalping.

Dear Romik, If you have Windows, you already have the software, it's called Paint. Just open the saved charts in Paint and you can draw lines and add text. It's fairly primitive, but it does the trick in a pinch. It's usually located in the Accessories section of the Start menu.

You know what happens when you stop working? You die. Something to think about :)

What in the world are you guys talking about? IB doesn't charge anything to keep an account open other than $10 per month for data, and then only if you don't have $30 per month in commissions. If you don't have that, you're not really a serious trader. There are no interest charges either...

Got news for you. You have NO freedom of speech on a commercial forum. Get a clue.

Any one know where/if I can get just the practice questions? I don't need to spend $100 on study guide. I would have thought they would be available on the NFA or NASD web site, but no luck. Thanks in advance,

Check and see if you can carry the loss forward against current year short-term capital gains (assuming you have any). That's about the only way to do it I believe.

Indicators do NOT change based on zoom! Period. Think about it, it's all math. Get the equations for ADX and plug in the data. The results can not change, because it's all mathematical. Now, if the indicator is dependant on some particular starting point that changes when you change the...

If what you are describing is truly occurring, something is wrong with the software. If you're just zooming (and not changing the data) no indicator should change whatsoever. btw- my response in no way should be interpreted as belief in the voracity of ANY indicator. I'm price, price, price :)

LOL Spyder! Hope all is well with you. To answer the question above, you've got to understand a few things about banking. First and foremost, even though the check has cleared, it can still bounce. Don't tell me it can't happen, I have two friends who own banks. After they clear, under the...

This is pretty standard. Some brokers are much longer. In this day and age of paper fraud, I don't much blame the brokers. That's why I always wire funds, not worth the hassle of waiting.

If you've had success with Wizetrade and you don't understand why others here are bashing you, please consider this story.... I have a friend who took the Wizetrade class and software. For over a year he made money, up 40% on modest size account. I kept telling him to be careful because the...
