Use this site to see the buying and selling pressure in a stock. Just tap in your ticker. http://thomson.finance.lycos.com/lycos/iwatch/cgi-bin/iw_ticker?ticker=txn

No he was right. The number of shares bought is equal to the number of shares sold but if the trade is done at the bid price, that trasanction is called SELL and if that is done at the ask price, it is called a BUY. Some charts show the SELL transactions with a red arrow and BUY transactions...

I think stop order works for AH but you can not have a stop limit order in AH. Don't go with only my response, wait for more reposnes

I am currently using IB but in the past I have used Scottrade. I would prefer Scottrade to TD or Ameritrade but I can not compare it with IB. You can not do naked option in ST. If you do shorting, consider the interest that you would get in IB that ST does not offer. If you use margin, consider...

Oh my God. You have to find a better way to track your trades. Now that you have switched to a better broker (IB) from Ameritrade, you will trade more as the low commission will allow you to get in and out more. If you do your old way of tracking your trades, very soon your room will be full of...

And what I meant the trader should set the maximum trade size or the withrawal size for himself and it should be different from person to person.

I totally agree with you. He should post his trade to prove that his claim is right. By the way it reminds me of a chaper in the "New Market Wizard" book that a trader was claiming his wife is hiding his trade confirmation from him that the reality was ....... Read the bood.

Yes I have that small calculator like device. I feel more safe using that for withrawal or deposits. If I don't have it with me, I can not even withraw from my own account. That is why I say IB is a head and a shoulder above the others. How about limiting maximum trading size? Will it be helpful?

Here is my two cent advice: As a Canadian who is now living in the USA, I recommend you the following things. 1- Post the transactions that has been done in your account in ET without your account number if you still can log in to your account to remove any suspicions that this might be a...

I burnt a slice of bread in my toaster today. I think that should be it. I mean the reason that market is crashing.:D We will die someday one way or the other so enjoy your chicken salad and chicken sandwich. If you want to worry and suffer there will be always a reason for it. One day bird...

I bought 10 ADI Call 35 June at 0.7. I am sure (???) it will be profitable. I am happy with a small profit. Like 30%.

For assignments , they charge higher rates. They don't charge regular rates. You can call them and ask why.

I believe you made a wise trade. My money is locked in some other positions otherwise, that would be one of my pick trades.

And I also respect your opinion and everyone's else. Your point was interesting to me because the volume today is suspicious to me. It seems buyers are on the sidelines and there are not too many sell going on. I thought that you had an explanation and I wanted to know. I think I am missing...

Forgive my stupidity and ignorance. Please elaborate. I thought option expiry days can be busy.

A quick note to everyone although it might see un related to the thread. I see moderate volume today (except QQQQ and index socks) that does not justify heavy price drops. I believe it might mean we will have a rally tomorrow.

I think it depends on what you trade. Since I trade heavily but it is not my main job so I decided to trade only on stock options and for trading stock options and sometimes on some stocks, one monitor is enough but I really wished I could have 3 monitors and a relaxed trading environment. I am...

A trading tip. Buy the stocks of the companies that make LCD monitors. It seems that there is a big competition going on increasing the number of monitors. Now I feel like a shit that I trade using only a laptop . You have to see the increase in your return by increasing the number of your...

Another clear trick from Fidelity. I had 1000 shares of a stock in my account and I sold 10 covered Call contracts on my shares (sell to open) and on the expiry date the stock was in the money and I was expecting my stocks will be sold at the strike price and I will be cleared. On Monday after...

I ran away from those brokers (Ameritrade, TD, ETrade, Datek,....) to IB. Sometimes I get tempted to get their free trades but I pause as I know they will get me one way or the other. I had the same problem with Ameritrade and Fidelity and after a couple of calls they agreed to clear those long...
