    Funds availability for deposited checks. Is anyone worse than IB?

    Isn't it a matter of (1) we believe the check is good, and (2) the ability to "claw it back" if not? Also, "local policy" may be an incentive to wire funds rather than deposit a check? (Checks don't take 10 days to clear these days.)

    Is penny stock day trading the most profitable in the market?

    Yeah, sure. "Buying for pennies and selling for Dollars" is most profitable. Easier said than done.

    Funds availability for deposited checks. Is anyone worse than IB?

    Fairly common-ish practice. Brokers want you to wire funds. That way they presume/know the funds are "good" and can allow you to use them for trading. (Not good for the broker to credit the funds to your account for trading, then have the check bounce, you know. My local bank tells me that...

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    Applicable? Trading the market is all about understanding psychology and playing that with risk control.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    Doubt you're going to find much info from that Google search. Wasn't suggesting that search specifically, just the concept.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    I don't have a "point of view". I was schooled in science. Data is fact. Research the notion of "indicators vs correlations to market price". My contribution to this thread is that if you believe, "indicators don't work", then you're fishing in a dry hole.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    Well, then I suggest you put me on ignore. Apparently you're not interested in anything I have to say on trading.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    More HOGWASH! Not, "works for some people". Works for those who understand. That's not "some people".

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    1. There is a wide-spread (and false) belief that "TA doesn't work" and that "Indicators don't work". Both are completely false. 2. I don't care who "gets it or not"... and I could go into depth to educate, but not going to. I leave it up to traders to do the work/research to figure it out.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    "...My reason for not using any indicators is because they influence my decision making ability in a negative manner..." What? You want us to believe that you understand that they work but you offer an excuse to not use them?

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    HOGWASH! Grant said, "I don't use indicators because ______" (Don't give me what I want/expect). I say the reason they don't is because he doesn't understand their proper use. You've inferred "indicators work, but you don't use them"? Is that smart?

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    LOL! Why don't you just ask me to send you a check for $1,000,000? Let's be fair. If you admit you really "don't understand", then should you be claiming "indicators don't work"? This is a common discussion on ET. Some don't get it and claim "indicators don't work". Others say, "You're...

    Rand Paul: One Of The Few Good Men

    Seems the only REAL reason we're fussing around in Iraq/Afghanistan is to to appease and satisfy the greed of the War Machine. All wrong, IMV. What America should do is pull out completely... let the Muslims kill each other/fuck goats all they want... without our presence. :(

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    You revealed your lack of understanding. More research and study required on your part. Not a knock on you personally.

    North Korea Openly Threatens Electromagnetic Pulse Attack for First Time

    How you gonna do that? The roadways will be clogged with dead vehicles.

    The reason I dont use any indicators

    The "best/good" signals from indicators are not random at all. I could hand it to you, but not going to. (Wouldn't want you to be deprived if the glee in figuring it out for yourself. :)) Many noobs/rookies get the notion, "buy oversold, sell overbought"... then complain when it doesn't work...

    I'm looking for a GOOD charting package... any ideas?

    I don't code. K.I.S.S. guy, here. Surprised to hear you say that. I find... if MetaStock is a "10" for charts, IB TWS is only about 4-5. What about Multicharts do you not like? I execute with R-Trader and Fidelity ATP. I tried R-Trade Pro/charts... didn't like it much. Charts too cumbersome.

    I'm looking for a GOOD charting package... any ideas?

    Got a couple of IBs telling me to check out Multicharts as "closest to MetaStock" in charting capability. Anybody using? Like it?
