    Shorting stocks with IB

    You should really find a broker with a large short list. What I would do in your case is open up test accounts with brokers who claim to have a large short list and test them. From my experience Datek used to allow me to short anything and everything. I mean unheard of stocks , stocks...

    Eyes on Fire

    Prices have come down significantly...You can get a nice 18 inch LCD in the 400 to 500 area...You really don't need anything larger because an 18 inch LCd is larger then a 18 inch crt. Also if price is an issue like it was for me then forget the Digital stuff..You really dont need that for...

    Eyes on Fire

    Do yourself a big favor and get LCD's quickly... I went from 5 CRT's to 5 LCD's and finally got relief from the eyestrain and the heat.... That was my only concern as well. And yes I had all the glare- radiation covers ....They reduced the strain somewhat but ultimately nothing worked...

    Darvas methods?

    One thing to consider is that today you may be better off entering on the pullback after the initial breakout .... But you always run the risk of missing a really strong breakout that has no pullback( Can't win em all)... And If you are a breakout player or even a retracement kind of guy. It...

    Darvas methods?

    Actually You wouldn't be able to trade this on the ES or anything else that is not at an all time high and breaking out of this high... the 52 week high will not due... also, I believe that he looked for a significant increase in voume which to him translated into "interest" in the stock by the...

    POLL: Typical maximum % risk of account exposed at any one time

    One way to avoid the Account killer type "stock halted, opens down 50%" scenarios it to use a max market position or max "Heat". To simply use a % of equity when your trading a larger account is crazy. ie: say one is trading with 100,000 ...Divide it into 10 . Now take 10,000 dollar...
