He didn't start a thread that sounds like a late night infomercial...you did. Nick

Hi Trend fader, I'm assuming that you meant to say long in an uptrend and short in a downtrend..no ? Nice trade BTW, AAPL in one of my portfolios that went long on monday......actually both of my trading models went long on monday across different stocks. So far I'm in the red for...

Ok to answer my own question and to help any other traders who wish to enter orders by % or dollar amount. You can do it through the batch order entry or you can do it right on the regular order pages. Simply go to customize layout then under the columns-order row check "quantaty type and...

One interesting thing I noticed: In the Feature selector, under order managment, under order entry tools, there is an option Trading by dollar amount or percentage. Ho does this work. It seems to be independent of the batch trader since you can turn off the batch trader and keep the...

Ok it worked in the demo. Even though it showed that it was going to buy 100 shares of each it didn't when I pressed transmit. It alocated the positions based on the dollar amount and my % settings . Thanks for the help DAV, this is much closer to what I was looking for. I still have...

Ok, let me find the demo system... Just to let you know I entered the positions again and now as I entered the stocks its giving me double lines of each stock. The first line looks normal except its still showing 100 in the total quantitiy box and then it skips a line and shows the same...

Hi dave, I just tried a little test with about 5 stocks... I didn't execute them just set them up I did everything you said but the order quantity next to the action is showing 100 for each of my stocks. It seems like it didn't take into consideration my dollar amount or my % entry. Nick

Hi def, I need to send the whole portfolio at one time. Is there a way to tell the basket page to figure out how much of each stock it should buy to bring every position to about x% of account value. The rebalance order entry is almost what I need. I don't use it to rebalance, I use it to...

So I would have to transmit each stock one by one or can I send them all at once with market orders. It would be ideal if I could enter all the stocks then a % number and have the software figure out how many shares of each stok I need to buy and then send them all at once. Thanks for the...

I trend.. I will look into that thanks.. Nick

I was wondering if there was a quicker and more efficient way to equally divide up your cash balance into an equal % and enter the market with market orders. For example.. say you have 100,000 and want to trade 20 preselected stocks. Is there a way to simply enter the stocks and then enter...

Wow ... I'm running my spyware DR tonight... Scary stuff.... Nick

Yes they could sue but I don't think they could win. Anybody can sue for anything really.... Take into account the fact that they never disclosed information about the transfer that may help him recover his money. Instead, they froze the account and said sorry buddy, money is gone, Some...

definitely get TV involved... again, I just saw a news broadcast here in NY about a guy who lost 10k... He got it back from etrade after the the news got involved... Can't remember the news team... Anyone see the program...? Nick

I think you are correct.... As I said in my other post... There was a story done on a guy who lost 10,000 dollars. I remember him saying that he did have trouble logging on to his account once.. That may have been the phishing website. He couldn't log in because it wasn't really...

Actually the news up here in NY did a story about a guy who lost 10 K to hackers... After the story etrade said they would give him his money back.. Cal your local media... Nick

Share how it's done correctly... I'll share how I do it...I don't know if it's correct but I know it's correct for me... First, I think people have a tendency to trade one or two stocks, or markets and this is a sure way to volatile and inconsistent returns and losses. There is a saying...

Care to prove those Grapes are sweet...with a journal :D

Hi Surfer... I truly believe you are correct.. technical indicators are not IMO to be used to increase odds of having a positive outcome on any particular trade...IMO they should be used as a timing tool to help you stay consistent with entries and exits. They are consistency tools. One of...

Not a bad idea.... I like it... Nick
