    Interactive Brokers Charting Poll

    I'd like a universal way to switch charts to include premkt/afterhours data. Its a pain doing it for each chart every day. TWS charts are pretty good now. But there's always room to streamline them in terms of access to setting and parameters - ideally all on right click window.

    Does anyone make a living using straight directional trades ?

    From experience that just isn't viable. Too many variables. Remote daytrading options must be simple, or it doesn't work.

    Any Comprehensive Event Calendars Out There?

    Any comprehensive Event Calendars Out There? Or does everyone do what I do and cobble together events as they go along? I always seem to miss some events. A good example is the two days of testimony by Bernanke this week. It would be nice to be about two weeks ahead at all times. And...
