I wouldn't trade without my APCs. They are incredibly cheap insurance. I keep my cable modem and router on the backup as well and have actually had times when the power outage was localized enough that my broadband remained live. On another occasion I had to switch over to pots.

I certainly understand and trust defs examples, but with the stocks I play and the markets I watch, I will continue to use Stop Limits for my entries, partials and positive exits, and Stop orders for my bailing exits.
If I have to take the weirdo hit now and then, I will to ensure that my...

I only play 3-500 shares and I only play a basket of stocks that are quite liquid. If I was attempting to move size my methods would have to...

I have not been with them long enough to use the word "consistent" yet. For more detail, you can read my comments that started this thread.

There is still a lot of conversation like that in the T/A room, but the only calls that get tracked come with a bright color background with the words ATTENTION! next...

Again, anyone can read my comments on RealityTrader T/A in the post that began this thread, but I would like to comment on the above.
RealityTrader T/A has not been vague even once since I've been in...

You know, I've never attempted to mark an IB Island order "Market" to see what happens so I can't answer that part of your question (though just for kicks I am going to try it to Monday cause I like knowing about the oddities)
When in control of TWS myself, I always route manually (and...

traderkay was wondering out loud why anyone would have two different sites posting the same calls and in his question he mentioned swingtrade.net. In response, Brandon...
