Aphie needs to trade with real money rather than post posts. Then the posts will slow down. You can talk the talk but you must walk the walk. Bert:D :D :D

I take my total amount of funds and divide by the five stocks I trade. I alway round up. Say for example I have an 80000 position and the stock price is 46.82. It would say to buy or sell 1708 shares. I round up to 1800. Bert:D :D :D

I hold em until I have to fold em. Bert:D :D :D

I use real time and E signal. Real time is the cost of doing business. I also have a backup power supply and a backup computer(laptop) and an alternate ISP. I use cable modem with dialup as backup. If you are serious about trading you must invest for all problems. Power interruption. ISP...

I use the crossover, regardless of where it is. I am always long or short. I use the standard MACD parameters. I do usually wait until the histogram starts making the second bar, just to make sure the first is formed. I have been fooled too many times when it just touches. I just want to...

Here are the monthly gains/losses JAN $20,338.00 FEB $10,404.00 MAR ($991.00) APR $9,515.00 MAY $28,555.00 JUN $46,202.00 JUL $67,528.00 AUG $20,322.00...

Swtrader, Yes i do hold overnight on all five stocks all the time. Most of the gaps seem to be in my favor. Every once in a while they are not but it does not take too long to go with you. I started with 200,000 divided between the 5 stocks. Each month I reallocate the total amount equally...

I trade 5 stocks both long and short. Use the 15 minute MACD. I just started futures ES. Using 1 minute MACD. 5 stocks are CAT KLAC MWD EBAY WMT. Bert:D :D :D

You guys won't believe this but I did it again. This morning I was setting up a trade in IB Trader Workstation. I was getting ready to short ES . I accidentally hit enter instead of cancel. I shorted at 898.00 this morning. OH My goodness. Then I thought well, you sucker you are short, what ya...

I live in Texas but work in California. I pay no California state income taxes. It depends on where you live. Bert:D

I was testing my IB defaults and i accidentally placed an order for the ES sep futures. I immediately got filled at 883.00 after market. I tried to cancel the order instead my mouse button was on transmit rather than on cancel. Too many beers I guess. Now I just got filled for a sale at 884.25...

It's totally different when you have to put up real money. Bert:D

I had a friend who had starband. Two way satellite. Had problems all the time. Rain, wind etc. fouled it up. He was on dial up half the time to trade. Bert

Mitch I use 15 minute MACD with 5 stocks. AM either long short or a combo. I currently use CAT KLAC EBAY MWD WMT Bert:D :D :D

Datek does allow you to enter one order, but the computer seperates it into two orders, thus two seperate commissions. Bert:D

I have cable internet by Road Runner and I have their dial up. They provide it free for 10 hours a month. After 10 hours it's 99 cents an hour. Bert

Ameritrade charges $8.00 for market orders. Stops and limits add $5.00. Does not appear to have a 5000 share limit like Datek. They give you 25 free trades to open an account. http://www.ameritrade.com/ Bert:D :cool:

Baron, I think more of both would be better. You could put a "Mark all forums read" on the bottom of all pages. And you could put a "Mark this forum read" on all pages. Sometimes I do not have the time to read all forums at once, but now I don't remember which threads I have read if I do not...

Just like the 4th of July huh??? Can you give me the rational for your prediction. Or are you listening to the news too much. By the way I do not predict the market, I just trade it according to my rules. Bert:D

I have had two of my trades filled Tmbr. Both were NASD stocks though. Bert:D
