Why do I always get a pop-up message saying that 'This page contains both secure and insecure data. Do you want to proceed? Yes, No, More Info' before I can view ANY page I click to. (I had to click it 4 times just to get here from homepage!!) how can I stop this annoying pop up? My...

Brand spanking new EDAT firm in Canada: http://www.questrade.com ( a little cheesy but....) Commission schedule follows: The commission rates will consist of the following monthly per share charges (all amounts in US dollars): - $0.10 per share up to 200,000 shares -...

the morning is probably the most dangerous time of the day for novice traders. Personally, I would advise you against trading the first 30 minutes (atleast) wait for the overnight orders and the whole excitement of trading to settle down. This will leave you from 10-11. Only an hour but if...

I don't think there is any doubt why this law is going into effect. Rather convenient to use the dust that has been blown up by the 'day trading' tragedies to obscure further protectionism by the old boys network. Just look how they are trying to weasel out of Reg FD! For once competence not...

thanks everyone for the input/links something that I haven't seen cleared up is this: inorder to be able to trade with 4:1 margin, do you have to be a pattern day trader(according to the defn of SEC)? in other words, if you do not fulfill the defn of PDT does your ability to ramp up to...

Its the time difference stupid! -Bill Clinton (just kidding) if the US market goes down, the Asian mkts will chase it when they open. So it doesn't take much brains to know the bias of Asia when you know the way the day went in NY!

acknowledge your points re psychology. Yet I must respectfully disagree. Trading is *not* about feeling comfortable. Actually some of the best trades occur when you are extremely UNcomfortable. This is because trading is not a very human thing to do. We love to be part of a group. This is...

AA-totally agree with your points. Perhaps I got a little too evangelical! My feeling is that put writing should not be the first option transaction that a person engages in.(It seems to me that the person who started this thread was new to options) Although it is exactly the same in profile as...

Robert-good point. What I mean by those sentences is that by moving your stop up you are reducing your risk. Perhaps my wording wasn't clear on that. AA-you provide a great scenario. A $90 stock that goes to $95 then back to $90. Obviously in this case it would have been smart to have taken...

could this be just good old tape reading? I know that there is an incredible feeling of synchronicity that can be achieved after watching/specializing in, once stock. Maybe this is what he's doing. If it is, you can dothis for any liquid stock. I agree with others that GE is in a league of...

ArchAngel, respectfully disagree that by slowly legging out of position you are playing with 'house money'. This is an illusion. Actually it is your money! By reducing your position as it goes in your favour, you are actually hurting yourself. Why? Well when you took the trade you did it for...

Haven't been able to verify this 100% but the Cdn regulatory laws are supposed to protect those that don't know any better - individual investors (in my mind it is blatant and obscene protection for the bloated Cdn banks, who wouldn't survive 6 months agains the onslaught of US brokers like...

I have no idea why they hide this link !? http://www.interactivebrokers.com/html/retailAccount/canborrow_stocks.html might want to bookmark that sucker

what is your time frame? if its short (minutes to hours) then I would recommend tape reading, then technical analysis (which is just tape reading + other stuff). BTW, technical analysis encompasses 1-4 on your list. And some would say #5 :o) Nothing can compare with just watching a...

Wouldn't recommend that (above) as technically this is 'illegal' and your account could be stopped anytime. Just a heads up, so if you want to go ahead, you know the risk that you could be prevented from trading with the US firm anytime, without warning (since it is widely known what the Cdn...

an improvement for sure! thanks for the mention

the number one consideration when dealing with options are the greeks. You simply can not take an option at face value (oh! its a call!!) but have to peel back the valuation using current/historical volatility. This is key! Check out: http://www.ivolatility.com
