What is IB's policy if you hold a large deep in the money call position over expiration but do not have enough funds to cover the entire exercise? Do they kick you out of part of your call position on friday or do they allow the full allocation on monday and sell you out then?

When an account is open from more than one computer, the software pretty much freezes up (that flashing screen). I know this is probably some security feature, but is it possible to make it an option to allow more than one person to login to the same account and trade, simultaneously?

It was true back then as it is now, the biggest problem with most of these public "training" courses is that they are simply inherently outdated. Go back a couple years before the daytrading craze started, and you'd find many cases of SOES traders taking money out of the market on a weekly if...

I was one of Jai's trainees at all-tech boot camp back in '97 (lasted nearly a year there before blowing out heh). Felt like ages ago, but I remember Jai as being one of the few people there that actually gave decent advice. Good to hear you're still in the biz and prospering. :)

When the hell exactly will this be on? How many shows in the series?

Throw out your preconception of making X amount of points or dollars per day, and there's a start. People starting out envision daytrading as just "taking out a couple points per day" because that sounds like the easiest way to generate steady income -- nothing could be further from the...

Is upgrading from WinME to XP a good idea or must I do a clean install?

I only tried it with the one monitor (only one handy now), the laptop is brand new and otherwise seems to work perfectly fine. The 21" monitor is a few years old, still nice and bright with its desktop cpu, but when connected to this laptop its kinda annoying to look at.

Yes the monitor works fine with another computer. I've increased the refresh rates but seems like theres no difference. The brightness control helps somewhat, but it still looks like there's a dimming mask over the monitor.

I just got a new laptop using an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 w/ 64MB DDR video memory. I tried connecting my old 21" monitor as second monitor, however, the colors aren't as bright and there is a slight flicker. Anything to fix this or does my vid card suck?

What used to give me an excuse to go on a bender was the 3rd or fourth losing trade in a row, even if everything went by the book. It's taken me a very long time to get over that hump and make each trade independent to the trades made before or thereafter (playing poker/blackjack helps alot in...

Wait for that technical entry signal -- then plan on the most painful outcome for those who entered the trade :) Seriously, that trendline on the SP is just too smooth -- IMO either it gaps down so hard that no one is able to sell much into it, or we breakdown through it, then stop everyone...

Sorry to bug you all with my ignorance, but why is it that lately after I browse the web for a while I start to get strange results. Sometimes I'll suddenly end up at a Google site with the statement "Site cannot be found in directory" for no apparent reason; other times when I click on a...

The naviscope seems to work pretty well -- looks like I'm getting about 11 popups every 10 minutes now (this is with 4 or 5 IE's open) but the windows don't load up at all now. Thanks for the help.

Thanks, I'll give that a shot. Is there any way to prevent popups from certain sites from loading at all? Pop-up killer is ok but I still get interference from the ads loading.

Seems like I only get the popups when IE is left open -- doesn't seem to matter which site I'm looking at, eventually I'll get a popup about once every 20 minutes from 2 specific sites which I've never heard of til now. Is there something I can tweak on my IE settings to stop these? I...

Actually, this computer I'm using is still on Windows ME, which does not allow disabling messenger. The ads seem like normal pop-ups though, not messenger format pop-ups. The solution I got was to add "www.win250dollar.com*" to my pop-up killer list -- however, the microsecond in which it...

Thanks all for your advice, I'll try disabling messenger service first.

Keep getting these damn popups from a site called "www.win250dollar.com" Used several programs (adaware, spybot) to clean up my system but this one doesn't seem to go away. Any tips?

FWIW, that's what I thought a couple weeks ago about NVDA (mostly the non-participating part) :)
