nice spikes. the question is -can you get a fill on both at same time? have checked the actual trades? i'm asking cause last time i've tried something very similar-it didn't' worked in reality,while on paper looks great. just be careful double check and paper trade

very unlikely. it's a serious commitment that required certain mind set + a lot of time. 99% or whatever(emg knows exact number) fails because they are not serious about it and don't know what they are doing. i personally see a lot of similarities to a gym or something like P90X. everyone can...

nice self describing statement :) only 2 options? add size? reduce? not sure what OP is trading,but if it's a stock portfolio another option would be to filter out volatile stocks or switch to less volatile. but again-hard to give any advise(besides cut size) without knowing at least some...

trading just started. the article was pointless,cause there is no quotes and there is no trading and whatever this guy from zerohedge saw- it make no sense,cause no one can trade it. just another useless post with flashy header.

if it was filled-let the trade stay. here the quote from IB

oops..

first things first-how much money do you have to play with? (to day trade stocks from home,using retail account-25K is absolute mininum(read about PDT rule).30K -should be enough to start. what will happends to you(mentaly and financially) if you lose it all?

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

:p :p :p :p penny spreads? you better wake up SEC..... not sure what they are trying to say ...but....it's not uncommon to see spreads as big as 5-10% intraday on stocks with 30-250K avg.vol. it's sounds funny, if ask me..

+1. but still not sure how this can be applied to OP. english is not my native language and to be honest-i have no idea what he is actually trying to say in his original post. is he is for day trading or not? leverage just like a big dick- only good in right hands..it can harm or...

i see no info whatsoever about upgrades\downgrades on your link above. and if you check yahoo for example(they do provide news from reuters)-the main source for upgrades\downgrades info is either briefing or fly. you can probably ask them what type of news Thompson \reuters provide and let us...

Daal..you have to understand one thing-regardless to what you subscribe or how much you pay-on retail level you have no choice to be 'first', before everybody else. if you analyze all the data-you will find that move almost always precedes the news.

say who? it's not random. you test your idea on data from past and trade on what you have. at least you can have general idea,what you can expect from your set of rules. not sure how you can trade on forward data.

this and i'm suck at any long term investing. every time i buy something for 'long term' -some apocalyptic s**t happens.

good info! Thanks Mav!

just look at them picture worth a thousand words

:p it's kind of typical WS approach..if you repeat same s**t over and over again-then sooner or later you are going to be right :p http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=242557

i don't think so..all this WS play is build around working folks retirement plans,savings etc..as long as people are employed-they pretty much forced to make the contributions and money has to go somewhere. and for now -there is only one place left-stocks(i would put them in commodities, just...

something like TD can be more bang for a buck,if you trade huge size once in while,using their fixed commissions. other than that..i doubt it. plus -IB is only one in industry with direct access to corp bond market with comish that no one can beat. flat,plain, no bs markups and you can trade...
