    My E-trade horror story

    Well now you finally understand the tone of my initial thread. Money management. I know Etrade has banking services. I was starry eyed about consolidating all my operations in one place, but they blew the stars out my eyes, then I did a cost study and realized what i am doing NOW is cheaper...

    Any Bulls Turned Bears?

    Finally an accurate state of political affairs. Although I have voted republican over the past few years and hate 90% of the democratic polices, I really don't see a major difference between the 2 parties. AS many a commentator has said, we need a 3rd party to get things back in balance. It...

    My E-trade horror story

    Iwas inclined to mention this with regards to the ACH fee. I see a simple $1.00 fee after your 1st ACH withdrawal as a null and void thing. However, I see the Etrade Fees as higher than I choose to pay. I guess the antithesis of this is you see the etrade trading fees as great and see the...

    Locking down my TWS

    Or get a Mac. I do all of the above and then some.... No hassles, no viruses, no fools controlling my computer. Remember .EXE files dont launch in OS X, and if you run Parallels, any crazy windows issues are contained in the windows environment.... Using OS X Mail for your email, Safari or...

    My E-trade horror story

    Here we go. People who read but dont understand. I think it is written in the new testament about those type of people. I'll find the vers and post it down the line, this isnt a religious discussion, I just find the jewish/Roman bible a nice text to glean from. Forgive my typos... There...

    My E-trade horror story

    SO for an account size of 50K or more, Etrade is a better deal??? Sorry, but they couldn't properly service me with 30K, why would I give them 50k.... They should just drop the sham of calling themselves a discount broker and JUST become a FULL SERVICE broker. Hell thats where they are...

Just getting the account authorized, We provided everything they needed, Passports, Gov ID's, etc....Even did a telephone Security Check. It still took over 30 days to begin using...

    I Am Not A Trader, But You Traders Should Be Like Pigs In Feces

    You Guys are Hilarious..... I nearly fell out my chair laughing so hard.... Since 2/24 I have been on a VERY nice run. I never knew I loved volatility so much. Matter of fact this run pushed me into day trading becasue I watched 3 days of missed opportunities, then I reminded myself...

    Anyone here use one of the latest Macs as their tradestations?

    All of these are either Java or OS X format, except Trade Ideas Pro, which is a Straight Windows program. However, I don't need parallels to run it, I run it under Crossover.. Less of a resource hog than having parallels running.

    What's the point in using "targets"?

    I take it you have PERFECTED this then? If not, then your argument against targets is BASELESS. In my simple world, the OPTIMUM point is that point which allows you to advance your trading maxims. If the optimum entry was .50 and the optimum exit was 1.00 and I got in at .55 and out at .95, I...
