There's a sucker born every minute.

Not unlike the "mortgage crisis", wherein a lot of Washington jackasses run around trying to solve a problem that already happened, under circumstances that are unlikely to repeat anyway for another 100 years. Honestly, it is a mystery and a miracle that anyone with an IQ above 90 would want...

And where did you get the idea that averaging down on an intraday stock trade is a good strategy? You need to cross that source off your list of trading ideas. If you are long equities intraday, you need to use hard stops and live with them. This is true in any market, and especially so...

A few weeks ago I emailed the SEC regarding complaints (From Cramer and others) about the SECs elimination of the uptick rule. The following are excerpts from their response to me. Note especially the third paragraph. (Volatility is international) "The Commission's decision to eliminate...

You need to take a cold shower and wake up to reality. 50 is not old. It is only old if you think it is. For God's sake you're 15 years away from average retirement age. So change your attitude. If you must, change careers or take some of your assets and invest them in getting...

The IRS doesn't care if you are considered a pattern day trader, a swing trader, whatever. That's an issue for your broker. The issue of a lesser tax is entirely related to your ability to file with the IRS as a "Trader in Securities". If you can, then your income is not considered "earned...

A good call. But I was long at 10:00 And short from 09:20 till 10:00 Should we start a website now?

Really. Is there a worse tech service organization on the planet than at Interactive Brokers? Where do they get these people? From a local vocational school? I close two accounts to move them to an advisor group, and send in their security devices. They lose them. Fortunately I...

Well, I'm just figuring that it is in his financial interest NOT to have anyone answer the phone. Assume that 100 folks sign up and want to cancel each month. But they have to call and get him directly on the phone to do so. Which is what he has told us. No talkee, no tickee. Now, at...

LOL! And with all these riches and your trading "success" you can't hire an admin for 10 bucks an hour to answer the phone when folks call to cancel their "subscription"?

Spectra, based on this thread alone, and your arrogant response to customer complaints, I frankly can't believe that anyone would want to put up with you or your company. Wouldn't it be better for you to work on improving your customer relations and service instead of spending time here...

Ask a thousand people (with mortgages) if they "own" their home. I'll lay big odds that the great majority of women will say yes. And that the majority of men will say "Well, yes....but..." If you're married, you know what I mean. Women have this ownership/home/hearth thing going on...

Are you trading a mechanical system? If so, you may find it helpful to reference charts only when you need to enter or exit. For control freaks (I am in that group) who feel the need to manage every trade, even though it does not need managing, it is often very difficult to watch price...

You need to answer you own question with backtesting software that will let you look at an entire portfolio, and simultaneously backtest on two timeframes, daily and intraday. (Or, a greater number of timeframes if it is useful.) You should first begin with the elements of your intraday...

LOL! That's the story.

Well, there you go Kenser. Best offer I've heard in a long time.:)

First, my heart goes out to you. I was in very much the same position 5 years ago. Got greedy. Got killed. Welcome to the Options-Suckers club. You don't need anyone here telling you what you did wrong. Now you know. Selling half is good advice. You can relieve the anxiety and...
