You need to also be certain that a conditional order that has been activated, will be canceled automatically if you manually close out your position. You don't want to get a nasty surprise if your conditional order remains open. Platforms that offer complexity can also bite you if you're not...

You need to put those questions to a broker, as they often have differing approaches and order-entry systems. Most brokers will permit you to enter a stop at the same time you are preparing an opening order, even if the opening order is not yet filled. The stop will activate and show up on...

LOL. Early bird gets the worm. And that applies to trading, specifically how? I think you're mixing your metaphors there, buddy.

Best to sit on your hands on Monday and watch how the dust settles.

I agree. The fed isn't going to raise rates in the face of an uncertain election. They'll wait until after the dust settles.

I don't know what planet you're on, but on this planet if a CEO was to sell calls against his company holdings, it is a clear signal to other stockholders, and to his board, that he lacked confidence in the growth prospects of the company.

There will be an issue with insider trading if the transaction is done with the expectation of profit (stock drop) based on non-public information, as there is with any financial transaction by corporate directors. Otherwise, while there are no federal regulatory restrictions, the company...

What a sad person you are.

Does that line work for you with all the ladies? "Show me your entry and your exit!"

Do you want to be a trader, or an investor? Big difference. My best trading systems over the years have had absolutely nothing to do with fundamentals, either micro or macro.

According to my trading log - on which I never, ever lie - I seem to have great fortune at avoiding the days when I would have lost money.

Theaters are closing because their product is crap. There's no mystery. How'd you like to be a theater owner these days, trying to draw business with what distributors are providing? Not a lot of fun in that.

It isn't unusual for VIX derivatives to follow their own path for short periods of time, as they aren't perfectly correlated with the market indexes. This is especially true when VIX levels are at extreme lows or highs.

LOL. 5% monthly with 1% risk per trade. That system will become available to you when Bernie Madoff is released in the year 2139. As of now, he's still keeping it under his hat.
