    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    As I mentioned previously, the most important lesson being learned is the emotional part of trading. You are learning what it's like to have real money at risk and how hard this business is. If it was easy, everyone here would be a millionaire. :D

    Slippage is not a concern on the ES as others have pointed out - you may see 1 tick. As for brokers, check out Open ECry. http://www.openecry.com

    My high school summer job: trading the NQ

    Good luck on your summer job. You are way ahead of the curve to even know what the NQ is in high school. I know you will be concentrated on the $ aspect, but regardless of the outcome, keep learning and studying if this is truly what you want to do. Time is on your side and you can begin your...

    Interactive Brokers - I'M MAD AS HELL!

    Better is debatable since a TOD is a form that is completed in approx. 5 minutes. I know what you are hinting at as 'better' but your 'better' is much more time consuming and costly; whereas the TOD accomplishes what you want for very little cost. There are other estate planning tools...

    Interactive Brokers - I'M MAD AS HELL!

    Read one post above yours. It's called TRANSFER ON DEATH (TOD). ======== http://www.sec.gov/answers/todreg.htm Transfer on Death (TOD) Registration Transfer on death (TOD) registration allows you to pass the securities you own directly to another person or entity (your "TOD...

    Interactive Brokers - I'M MAD AS HELL!

    It's called a TRANSFER ON DEATH & some firms offer this as a service to their clients. See above. Actually, you are the idiot. TOD's are available at a number of firms. You are incorrect. To transfer assets in kind, it's called TRANSFER ON DEATH (TOD).

    openEcry being acquired by OptionExpress

    For the most part, the feed and platform have been fine. There was a bumpy patch after an upgrade that had something to do w/ firewall issues. Once that was sorted out, it was back to normal which is reliable IMO. I really like the platform considering it's free to customers, incl free data...

    openEcry being acquired by OptionExpress

    As of now, everything is remaining as is. Business As Usual.... not sure how many times I can say that. I'm just a trader there like many here, but I've have been at OEC for awhile and have been able to speak w/ some of the 'high ups' at OEC over the time I have been there. And all I...

    Was today's close a DOJI?

    To me a doji simply shows that neither the bulls or bears had control. Bulls tried to run it up to no avail. Bears tried to run it down to no avail. A doji is a very interesting pattern to trade and one could argue either way for a possible trade. Some would argue just ignore doji's b/c of...

    openEcry being acquired by OptionExpress

    CP - not sure what more I can provide. I've been w/ OEC for a while now and hope that it does remain 'business as usual' for them in terms of supporting clients, platform, etc. I can't really say much else as I was told 'business as usual'. Literally, that's it. I enjoy trading at OEC and...

    openEcry being acquired by OptionExpress

    From what I've heard, looks like a good thing (for now at least). I trade there and am very comfortable there, so I hope not much changes (if anything for the better). Right now being told 'business as usual'.
