    Some commision realities about IB and Tradestation

    was "you want 1000 shares, you only get filled at 500". why not do what i used to do (and still do sometimes when i want it NOW), which is to put in the price ABOVE the ask? so the trade comes as: 500 sh @60.1, 200 @60.12, 200@60.15, 100@60.2 total comission $7.50 . (IB)...

    10 of Jim Cramer's Favorite Stocks

    but cramer HAS got most of this rally...was bullish entire '03. having said that...he also was telling everyone that june 02 was the fulcrum point, the 'put it all in the market' point because of the trading goddess, and that he had put all his money to work. and in july, when maria was...

    "Think You Can Beat the Market? Eugene Fama Still Says You Can't" :D

    one rationale is: don't use stops. don't use specific patterns. pick 'generic' stocks, and match it against a buy and hold. traders don't do this, but some studies have. another is the studies don't focus on the winners, but the losers. if you start with 100 people, and 10 make money...

    Realtick down?

    snoop - closing the lock is just a way to make sure that all of RT is shut down (including slower processes, etc.) it does nothing to change your settings. the other part does, but when RT works fully, it can be reset. i stopped trading b/c of this problem, and won't get back here during...

    close the "lock" in the lower right corner. then reset server to TA_SRV (when you got back in). you don't get level 2, but do get L1, if you need it.

    Google

    a couple tips: run opera (browser) without popups allowed, and without things like flash being auto-enabled. go to grc.com and d/l and run some of their programs, such as shields up, unpnp, and the shoot the messenger program. if things are popping up without you going to sites, you've...

    techniques of tape reading

    he posted his personal numbers in the book. since the methodology in the book works (you'd be hard pressed to prove it doesn't), and the subject here IS the book, any future P&L is irrelevant. the questions regarding the book are: -> is the book well written? yes. -> is it helpful to...

    Please support BOX and IB and kick CBOE's ass

    vega - i'll give one minor example of why i like the bid/offer. you may claim it's fighting for peanuts, but it's a major reason for me. i see an inflection point coming. i sell the options (or buy them) at a limit price, in some kind of size. i get a partial fill. my trade was right...

    IBD or Wall Street Journal

    IBD has o'neils tip on page 1, and the coverage of the entire indices (inside page A something), along with the disctribution / accumulation ratings and others of each individual stock. that is so much better than anything the journal does *for stock trading*. for articles, the WSJ is much...

    ET Rating on exchanges

    Is selling advice better than running money?

    ugh! cramer's picks, pre-this runup, have been atrocious. he has to hold his picks 6 months...and before he did his long-term picks (ie. when he was still at the hedge fund), he said the following: "I think you can invest better than I can. I don't think you can trade better than I...
