    "Real Prop", "Secured Prop" etc

    Where can I find definitions of these? I'm not really sure what the difference between them are (The terms are flung around loosely in threads) Any good books to read on the subject?

    Freetrade does not allow Direct Routing to ISLAND (contrary to their own help files)

    To me, the trades just seem suspicously sluggish... like a noticable gap in time between where the market is and the time my limit sells get executed... maybe it's just me being paranoid because of their routing disclaimer, but I think i'll have to opt out of freetrade anyway... their...

    Freetrade does not allow Direct Routing to ISLAND (contrary to their own help files)

    FYI, a number of people mentioned that freetrade.com, while not allowing Direct Routing in general, allows you to route to ISLAND if you use the CommandCenter tool (which is available at a fee) This is also affirmed by their help files on their website (Help, Buy/Sell Stock help, Direct...

    Cutting losses is for losers

    First of all, I think MrMarket's page (and first post) is excedingly humorous. -------------- "I AM MR MARKET! I AM HUGE! BRING ME YOUR FINEST MEATS AND CHEESES!!!" ------------- Hahaha too funny. Now if he really means that to be totally serious, or just half serious is another...

    TOOLS FOR THE NEWBIE, what tools should I use?

    Point well taken. I guess in my "perfect little world" I'll be moving 3500 shares tops (whatever strategy I use). My questions more-so revolve around the area of finding an optimal solution that I (as a newbie) can learn with over the next month or two to get my feet wet, (sure i'll eat maybe...

    TOOLS FOR THE NEWBIE, what tools should I use?
