right on. how can any 16 yr old afford to buy the latest clothes and video games for less than $15 / hr. who cares if the person has any marketable skills or can read or write. they still 'deserve' to be able to raise a family and live in a nice home working a McJob. Also, forget...

To clarify, I shorted the calls because I could not borrow the shares to short the stock. I put in two orders, one to buy the puts and one to short the calls. both orders where about in the middle of the bid/ask spread. no big surprise that the calls where hit and not the puts.

Well said !!!! If it was easy we would have little girls doing it and it wouldnt pay much.....

Maybe I am missing something but why change firms if your remote trading now (if your not then why not remote trade from the same firm)?? In the 'big' cities of china (aren't they ALL big??) as well as the other places you are looking at have first rate internet. If your not chinese speaking...

IB IMHO doesn't do a good job explaining the 10 million things TWS does. You also might as well forget about asking customer service as they don't seem to know either.( I thought you may want to know that before you sign up) Yes, in the book trader you can change the number of shares. you...

I hear you about the commissions. I changed from TS to IB for the commissions and the MM rate they give. I tried Zeroline and quotetrader. I trade many different stocks and found zeroline cumbersome in changing stocks in the DOM. quotetrader moves the prices in the middle off the dom...

Wow, now thats a wedding worth going to with or without free beer

BG, Yes I agree. Even though I still felt I was correct (and was actually) I did kick in the stop losses. I was up for the month and Friday I did place my next trade and did well. I will be setting up another monitor as that was part of the problem as well. I also will not be posting...

What a month. Two days ago I had no losing days in over a month and was up over 9K for the month. After I closed the loser out I did close out another trade that I opened today and made $154 which isnt much cash but let me know that I can make money as planned if I work my plan. Looking...

just three trades today. closing out of EXM which at one time did try lower today. after opening in the 56.50 range and going over 57 I bought back in the 54.25 range. IB is reporting the P/L wrong as did well with the JCG trade open ABH options 0 (I was last trade about two minutes...

S 5 ABH Dec 22.5 calls @ 1.85 stock was not available to short with IB so I wrote the calls.

out EXM I did trade it back and forth and scalped out a little bit to lower the loss. spent a lot of time reflecting and programming the system to avoid shorting a stock that is oversold. EXM gave me another 'view' of a weakspot in the signals. Had to backtest to ensure the changes would...

Hey Sam, sorry I couldnt talk on the phone today. very tough day as you can see by my results. One problem after another which led to multiple mistakes. Good learning day though (expensive but good). after about six hours of programming and then backtesting I am happy to say that today...

tough day. gave up a lot this month. I will be back at it in full force tomorrow. I did gain a better understanding of my signals and how to improve them to avoid these types of drawdowns. (interesting how a big down day will make you study your homework a little extra) I had two trades that...
