yeah you're ok. www.interactivebrokers.com is a good broker with a 2k min initial investment. you can trade 100 shares for around $1.00 on commissions don't ever let one trade get out of hand and wipe you out, cut your losses short and save back enough for another trade you'll do just fine

Well then how bout this. You want to get long really bad, but you want to buy the bid. Wait until the bid becomes the offer, then buy at the market, and you should get filled at what you thought was a good price.

but here's what really bothers me. You can miss all kinds of trades trying to buy the bid, so it would seem conversely, you should be able to stay alive with a 1 tick stop. If I try to buy the bid and sell the ask all day with no stop, sooner or later I should lose everything, right? So...

almost t, I agree with puffy, the only thing though, after a while, check to see if most of your trades go against you by one tick. If so, then you can save a lot by buying the bid. Then you have to see what buying the bid would have cost you in missed trades. But chances are, if you would have...

That's a good question. I'll be interested to see the replies. You already have the only two I'd pay for. And I agreee with both of your (comments). The only disagreement I'd have is the print version of Barrons is still better than the electronic mumbo jumbo where's what I use to be able to...

the merc does, but only in the pits. You need to write it in your trading software. No, in real life there is no limit, M stands for mkt. But you can write it just like you want it, concept is the same, buy limit if price is offered

turbo tax automatically calculates se tax and messes you up. You can overide it, but why use it if it only makes your figuring harder?

that's an MIT (market if touched)

I like the red flashing bar. It makes me feel like I have an important job.

no, it keys off of your default order setting. If the order defualt is not set to mkt order, close position will enter an offsetting order, but it might not get filled. Kind of hard to test this one, I only know because I once changed my default to stop, I hit X to close position and it...

nice one reverend. What are the rules?

So your advice is to short the market.

Only the warrior fighting for the prince Can trade with abandon

And all that makes SP and ES after hours globex trading quite interesting. Oh by the way, as far as news impact in the pits, the saying goes, "First to act, last to know."

The kingdom of heaven is within you. That means that you are responsible for all creation. So, my job is to create a profitable market.

ditch, ever notice? When we are in a trade, we always expect the market to reverse. When it gets close to our stop, we hang on because we think it will turn, but when it moves in our favor, we cut it short because we think it will turn.

Fixed dollar when you are starting the system. If you have to decrease size in a drawdown it is too hard to dig your way out. If the system takes off and things go your way, then switch to the percentage method.

ok, well then, you're right. How'd that happen? It was on the CME home page when I opened it this am. Don't trade nq so I didn't pay any attention to it. At any rate, I like this argument you started, it won't go away. You know me, I'm a big tick man, but the other side has something to say...

yeah, my Dell is veery quiet compared to that old thing, as a matter of fact, I had to stop and listen to see if I could hear it to tell how quiet it is.
