Yeah 1. PDT 2. Margin 3. Fun! 4. Possibilities Even without the PDT rules, the fact is that the normal 2:1 stock margin is not enough to benefit a whole lot from. That's why I never traded stocks, I used options . . . until October 15, 2002 (Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!) And...

Yeah, the exchanges are providing the liquidity of 20-40 contracts. They do want to create a market for these things. It's like when a new business opens and they have these give-away promotions. I do think we're like the first customers, and we should be pleased to eat their free goodies that...

The markets will be here in 5 years. They will not be exactly what they are now. They certainly are not now what they were 5 years ago. Nobody, on here, or anywhere else can precisely tell you what the markets will be in 5 years, or even 5 weeks. That's what you really need to know: that...

So basket orders could be called OTA (One Transmits All) the reverse of OCA (One Cancels All) And I suppose Conditional orders could be sent in a basket, or sent separately, but generally having baskets for transmitting Conditional orders would be quite convenient. I'd actually want...

Fascinating! One of my favorite ET hardheads gave this company a 5x5 rating and called them a "class act", in the midst of other unequivocal negative remarks. Funny when you read the reviewers after getting a bit more acquainted with their mentalities on the message threads. "same shitty...

The same company that you've been having problems with at least since November. Did you ever get any payouts from them at all? Also the Better Business Bureau might be worth calling. Am I surprised the S.E.C. doesn't care? Not particularly. The S.E.C. thinks you have no business trying to...

Can someone please give a simple definition of each of the following to help distinguish between them? Thank you 1. Basket Orders 2. Bracket Orders 3. Bundled Orders

The $25,000 rule is an S.E.C. rule. The S.E.C. governs stocks, but not futures. Futures are not restricted by this S.E.C. rule. Single Stock Futures are also not restricted by the S.E.C. rule, they are also futures like the E-minis. With Single Stock Futures ("SSF") there are about 100...

I won't bother you by saying another time after this, by why don't you place these threads in the Resources forum. Great job with posting them.

Is Niederhoffer someone we want to compare ourselves to? Should we rate him more for his spectular rise, or for his spectacular falls?

Nice touch having the photograph of the cover! I think this thread goes nicely in the Resources forum

Baker Trader, keep learning with information NihabaAshi has started you with. Starting out trading E-minis as your first real money trading is something to be very cautious about. Especially if you're trading a small account. If you have less than $15,000-$20,000, and since you've been...

I find it amazing that people can toss around many thousands of dollars every day the way most people wipe a piece of dust off their sleeve, but cry bloody murder about having to make an extra mouse click or two.

Their Cash Card looks more interesting than the NETeller used on other online gaming sites. Good luck with it. You may or may not develop an interest in other online gaming from this, such as poker and casinos. www.pokerroom.com offers you some poker fun, play or real money...

Or, as us grown'ded-ups folk likes to say: crawled.

I didn't trade today either. If I had had a sell order for $33.80 I could have gotten out with just a $10 loss. I do think the main thing is to work up a strategy of placing orders that will let you profit almost automatically. That's what I'm trying to focus on now. Creating trailing...

I have their credit card

Negatives: MAR: Marriott Hotels MCY: Mercury General, car insurance Positives: WEC: Wisconsin Energy doubles profits in chilly weather VAL: Valspar paint and coatings company RHT: Right Management, career consultants GET: Gaylord Entertainment, no it's not Elton-John, it's a mostly...

Good luck. Start Small is all I will advise you at this moment. Especially monday morning opens, are such a tricky moment. I'd recommemd one or two contracts for your first attempt. :) Strategies are starting to form in my mind, based on the use of stop-losses as well as trailing stops...
