When JNPR opened down and then went up braking yesterday's close was a potential signal to enter long. For some reason I could not pull the trigger. I just watched the stock run to 47. Besides futures and the index, are you guys using anything else that would have gotten me into the trade. I...

The easiest thing to do is to extend the C partition using partition magic. Do you run NT or w2000k? You would get more space going to ntfs, but under NT you won't be able to access files on other partitions that aren't ntfs. Another solution would be after saving any wanted data on your...

dozu said - "btw, the stops on NYSE work OK. These days although the nasdaq stocks still move faster, the risk/reward ratio are usually better on the NYSE. Lots of times, trading on nasdaq is like risking 1 point to make 2... while on NYSE I am risking 0.1-0.2 points to make 1." isn't it...

For anyone that specializes in trading only a few stocks on a regular basis, what intraday indicators do you watch besides price and volume. I'm trying to refine my strategy (paper trading) but most of the indicators lag. thanks

I emailed them a few days ago but haven't heard from them.

Dustin, Who is your broker? You said in a previous post that you were trading 2500 sh blocks of jpnr, what route were you using (isld, redi,?). Do you ever use soes? The reason I ask is that I was paper trading today (I realize we had weak vol. today) and while watching a combined...

I realize I picked most of the negative comments off that site, and I have gone thru some of the threads here too. My impression is that IB is as good if not better than most firms (every one has problems). I do think they should allow acct transfers. Check writing would be nice too...

I've been doing a little research on brokers. I've come across a few issues. http://onlinebrokerage.about.com/money/onlinebrokerage/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sonic.net%2Fdonaldj%2Fbrokers1.html Execuions are sometimes not shown in the live "execution report" leading to...

They don't seem to list their commish, or fees? Any help? thx

Does IB offer SOES execution? Is it quicker to get off a soes trade or an ecn trade (on average)? thx

pkjr - It sounds like others have said they are specifying ecn's?

Thanks guys. I can't believe they don't offer EXTR to short.

Are there any traders here that go short and long in large blocks (1k-5k sh) using ib. I'm interested in opening an acct, & I've tried the demo. I can't seem to find ib's short list. Do they look for the shares after you've placed the short sell (extra delay)? Any other info about ib is...

rtharp Thanks for all of your imput and expertise. I would be curious to hear more about your trading style. As far as software, I would think the Omega software would be effective if you can get through all the bs with maintaining it (must have high speed connection, and b/c the program...

Has anyone here used both tradescape and IB? I ran the IB demo on a weak computer and it wasn't too bad. The only problem I had with IB was trying to change ecn's; still can't find it. How would you specify a soes order?

Can someone tell me about the "shorting lists" for tradescape, ib, datek, or any of the othere not so big daytrading type firms. Have u ever had a hard time finding popular stocks to short? thx
