Most apps that sync with your brokerage are meant for buy and hold investors, not traders (ex. Morningstar, SigFig, etc). Is there software specifically made for active traders? For example; I don't care what my Beta is RIGHT NOW - as my current holdings will be gone by the end of day anyway...

Wow, information overload there!

That's my problem, Mac's don't have removable batteries so I guess I will have to start carrying an external around... OR get a new laptop! :D Something without any power but at least a day of battery life would be nice (if its even possible).

I trade a lot from my laptop, and need to maximize my battery life. Should I allocate MORE memory to the app or LESS in order for it to use less CPU? It is currently at the default 32mb min / 768mb max. P.S. I already have ThinkOrSwim to only pull realtime data every 15 seconds (I don't day...

Trading crude oil is fairly straightforward, news and talk everywhere of it... However, how do you trade Natural Gas? EIA numbers? Dollar/oil correlation? All technicals?

Around which sort of volume does it become difficult to find liquidity? (Not that it applies to me...). Just curious, how much one has to purchase for all of this to become an issue (10mm, 50mm, 100mm ?).

$COUP - Coupa Software Its HAULING up 93%, solid business model as well. 1. Coupa CEO on company's successful public debut 2. Coupa IPO Pops on Opening: What Do We Think?

How do you keep track of breaking news for your portfolio or watchlists? Google, through your broker, some app... this forum?

Its 2016, technology has come a long way... Does anyone mostly trade from their phone? How successful have you been doing this? It seems like it may actually be doable - although perhaps not for day trading.

You never know. Hotdogs sales might just be the next catalyst for a historic rally. I can't wait for some freedom beer this weekend.

Is there a way to check the Alpha, at any given time, of say; all hedge funds, individual funds, etc? I'm not sure if this information is widely available, or can be reflected through specific Mutual funds, ETF's, etc.

All of these good news is only keeping the market up, I'm glad myself! One more day to make it 5 in a row. Bets are off next week, however.

It's news, so it's certainly important to note that this may have a psychological impact on retail (and even perhaps institutional) investors and thus play a small part in shaping the markets. More to the point, I think any news that doesn't involve Europe this week is good news in order to...

Wow this place you traded at seems like it had terrible, terrible luck as people were not making money AND they were dying...

Please don't get in to make money. Don't do ANYTHING just to make money. Get off the computer, grab a beer and go for a walk. Now, what would you do FOR FREE? In other words, find whatever it is that you love, and then find a way to make money doing that. No one who is rich got there by...

Absolutely!

I agree with you 100% Hence why I didn't quite state "day traders" but rather "active traders". (Brace for day traders to light me on fire in 3... 2...)

Current market conditions are incredibly volatile. Buy and hold hasn't quite worked for most investors in recent years, mainly due to the recent combination of a) the proliferation of technology enabling easier trading, and b) macro economics trying to keep up with an always upward trend. "...A...

Well, the market really IS having a blast.

I missed it, but not by chance. Seeing how these last few IPOs had gone had me spooked! Time will tell with Twilio as well, Twitter was once loved just as much remember :)
