How are they cheaper ? The premiums are cheaper but you're still controlling 100 lots of stock. Why would u think options are easier ? Not only do you need to worry about price movement, you need to worry about volitility and time decay. With stocks, you only need to worry about...

highest tax bracket is 35%. There's no way you'd have to pay out 40% in taxes

I only count 3600 shares in your above post. Even if you did buy 30,000 shares, you'd have to buy at 9:39 am and hold til 3:57 pm to make $90,000. Looks to me like a bunch of bs

Its not a problem, I'm just cheap.

A LOT more for data. I've been primarily swing trading through scottrade, and haven't needed real-time data feed. Real-time quotes are all I've needed. For level 1 amex, nyse, nasdaq would cost me $180 at IB.

anyone?

I'm about to open an IB account, and they're asking me if I'm a professional subscriber. I hold a series 6 license. Does that mean I must register as a professional ? B/c I did register at scottrade a while back to be safe, but I can't say I have any idea on what to do. Help ?

Chicken ? Nah.............. You're a NOOB !

Hi guys. I've developed a great swing trading strategy in which I'll hold from 3 to 10 days. In a months time, It'll generate on average 15-40 trades. $5,000 position sizes, 4% per position stop loss, and a $50,000 account..........that means scottrades $7 per trade is killing my bottom line...

You have a bad habit of buying stocks on the wrong side of the momentum.

the susppense is killing me........lol

Maybe I'm mistaken but if you file m2m before the beginning of the new tax year, then the wash sale rule doesn't apply at all.....am i right ?

This is one of the most hostile forums I've ever been on. Everyone has a stick up the a$$ or something. Who cares what his account size is. As long as his name isn't Stock_Turder it doesnt matter.
