Darkhorse, I'm going to reread your post a dozen times until it sinks it deeply. Thanks!

m_c_a98 , Thank you. I'm going to trade tomorrow using my gameplan and see how it works for me. I feel really good -- but I need to review all the buttons on TWS and make sure I understand how it works inside and out before I subject myself to any more market movements. Your graph is a...

Here is the graph during my trading timezone.

You're right. In fact, when I look at the 250t graph I usually use, I basically went totally against the trend. I guess I was just excited that the account was finally open and ready to trade and I just went in with "guns blazing" with no plan and total disregard to everything...

Here is a screenshot of the trades from IB

Here are my trades for October 16, 2002: (Not sure how to format this out of IB ... I just did an export): SPY;SLD;100;86.16;17:46:39;20021016;ARCA SPY;BOT;100;86.09;17:55:45;20021016;ARCA ESZ2;SLD;1;857.00;18:14:27;20021016;GLOBEX ESZ2;BOT;1;859.75;18:21:46;20021016;GLOBEX...

Here's what happened today. I wanted to make a trade so I choose SPY. I just more or less looked at the average and saw that it was going down so I put a limit order in and I waited about 5 minutes and netted 5 dollars. Then, I tried to trade an options contract, but for some reason it...

Second trade in futures ... total for the day -237.50 I'm stopping for the day. I was very confused by IB's entry system. Apparently it keeps a running tally of Profit and loss and I thought it was for my second trade -- very confusing. Well, if I have learned one thing today, I just...

First future's trade -137.50 This is not paper trading. This is much more intense. Hopefully this journal starts off backwards from everyone else's! :D Shit my heart was pounding, too. Is that normal?!

When it says 3 day trades remaining, when does that reset? I have used one. SEC can kiss my ass.

Ok, I just made my first real trade with real money. It isn't anything to write home about. I sold short 100 SPY (how can I get margin on a cash account -- I'm probably in deep shit) at 86.16 and covered at 86.09 for a net gain of 5 dollars. This was my first trade to get my feet wet...

I just covered my short. My account is now $5,005.00 This is wild guys. I screwed up but this is what it's all about .. learning.

I am daytrading .. I just sold 100 shares of SPY and forgot to set the shares to 50. I am currently short at 86.16

I just got the e-mail from IB. The wire went through (in like 20 minutes). I now have the 5k sitting in the account. I'm not sure why, but for some reason I am more nervous than I thought I would be. This is a pretty amazing feeling, actually. It is like standing at the door of an airplane...

Maverick, You're forgetting the fact that AOL's 57.6kbps business model is slowly eroding. Even if they jump to broadband, they've got to pay higher access fees to the cable companies to make it happen. Their advertising revenues have taken a wacking and Ted Turner is pissed with Case...

Seems like a lot of people are betting AOL is going to be a penny stock!

In my opinion, I think this terrorism is more than just one insane white militant that has snapped. In my opinion, there is more information known than is being reported by the media. I don't think it is a far fetched idea to entertain the idea that this individual or individuals is part of a...

Time is a commodity seldom taken advantage of and often ignored. Why chase the Zebra when I can wait in the bushes and have the Zebra come to me? Runningbear, I can write that. PM me.

Now, what I'm wondering is how they are going to explain to the kids that their mom is kinda their grandmom? http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/Central/10/15/surrogate.twins.ap/index.html

I don't understand what you guys are on about -- this board has a good mix of serious trading discussions and off-topic interesting discussions. This board in no way resembles Yahoo stock boards. In fact, this board is a step beyond Raging Bull. Here is a sample of Yahoo: When was the...
