what seems even more amazing is that anyone took notice of the analysts - and really frightening is that guys who run mutual funds - who must have the best free ride in the universe - claim to buy stocks on analysts recomendations - and they are the ones complaining
i am sure merrills or any...
snapdragon is a charting software - which was origionated by a software guy who had an interest in trading - i think Pats just push it - as its been hooked into their platform - but its wasn't theirs - and when i looked at it some time ago - historic data was a problem etc as it basically a one...
the ffast site is one of the best laid out that i've seen and the information tells you everything you need to know - maybe all other companies should have a VP with a good right hook or was it a straight left!
p.s. i dont use them and dont know anymore about them
the amount you lose when trading is your tuition fee
your losses and subscequent analysis is how you learn to be a trader developing your own trading style
thats why simulators and paper trading are a waste of time - no pain - no gain

why would you need any idea about currence trading - you just go there - they wack you 100M - you press a few buttons - and whap - bucket loads of money
equity trading is easy as well - but dont do both - unless its at the same time
surprised they want to interview you - normally...
i guess you are right!
funny thing though - i never met anyone who lost at paper trading!
one thing paper trading might come in handy for though! - when you take your first trade - the market goes hard against you - you cant figure how to get out the position - the program freezes - the...
you may want to start with a more liquid contract such as the S&P
its really no use asking others opinions on wether u will succeed or not - because they are not you - and you are not them
and unless you have a "black box" system - forget the results of your prior testing
if you are...

as a 16 year old - i feel deeply hurt and slurred by the unfair and unwarranted remark against myself and fellow teenagers - in order to support your moral crusade for "pro"
not all of us teenagers are interested in fun and humour - many of us search for dourness, greyness, and...

might be a long long wait...........
but you just never know!
you mention the net profit of 10% per month - how about gross drawdown to net profit ratio? or is that why you would want the statements to verify that?
net profit - as low as 10% on a monthly basis - would certainly...
30 min charts are key, wether you take one, or hundreds of trades - and so are your top and bottom of the hour 60mins charts - and so are the interaction of the other key chart interval periods in relation to the above and each other
as i said in the point above - the last bar will be a 30 min bar if you are dealing with a cash market time set to finish at 16:00 Eastern time - since although it is in a 60 min sequence of bars - the last bar will only get 30mins of data
i am not looking for news which affects individual stocks - in order to trade them - that game is dicy and too hard work for me!
i just want news that would move an index
so by extension major news to do with a single stock such as GE or Microsoft would affect the index, but that is the...
i always found news a real distraction - but is there any live news service that only sends index moving news headlines through
i know that this means someone making the editorial decision as to what is imprortant or not - but whoever it would be would get a second go - if they saw the market...

you say you are using your other brokers - more and more - but would you say you are doing taking exactly the same trades with these other brokers as you try to do with IB - and that you find they work with the other brokers and not IB
i guess the reason you always try IB first -...
I definetly dont want to see IB integrate the data feed with a charting company
Charting data is a whole different ball game - and if it was integrated - end users may ed up looking at a lot more symbols etc and that will use up band width - and screw up the data delivery
If their plan is...

If someone is requesting information about their own account in order to close their position - as jafjr57 described - is that not an order being called in - in that someone would have to evaluate their position in order to go flat - so why would someone elses's order take...
