    Ridiculous Trading Video

    Scary part is he may actually know what he's talking about, only who'd listen to him more than once?

    Rep. Pete Defazio Defends Trader Tax

    I understand his sentiment, but he's just engaging in political grandstanding. This bill will never get out of committee once enough of these guys realize what a crock it is.

    Which is the best Elliott Wave Software ?

    I have one friend who uses RET (Refined Elliott Trader) and several other friends (Optionetics students) who use Profit Source. The RET guy swears by his product but I hear lots of complaints from the PS guys. Apparently there are lots of data problems with PS and there's a sense that...

    Staying Healthy

    I appreciate your input, but one thing I failed to mention is 1) there is no family history of cardiac problems. 2) I'm a runner. and 3) My diet is actually better than the average American (which really ticks me off.) My cholesterol is high-ish but not through the roof. It's like 215...

    Trading In an IRA

    My IB IRA has restricted margin. This means I can have option spreads (i.e. long one option, short another) as long as they're limited risk. TOS has the same kind of IRA.

    Staying Healthy

    I'm reading "Eat to Live" right now and plan on going vegan in a couple of weeks. I had some further exchanges with NoDoji in chat which further emboldened me to do this. It's certainly not for everyone, but it speaks to me anyway. I toyed with going veg 25 years ago, but books like "Eat to...

    Trading In an IRA

    Why not trade in your IRA? Is buying and holding mutual funds in your IRA "safer" than trading? I assume by trading you mean not buying and holding - investing. I have a couple of defined risk options strategies I trade in both my margin account and IRA at IB. I'm very happy with this...

    Arsonists Torch Berlin Porsches, BMWs on Economic Woe

    Yeah, I was gonna say. I've known folks from plumbers to car mechanics who are *way* more intelligent (and capable) than a lot of college grads I've know. There are lots of highly educated people who are barely functional in society. It makes you wonder how they even graduated. A college...

    Does anyone daytrade

    That's my style as well. I prefer to be somewhat promiscuous about the stocks I trade and go where the action is. Every day it's a different list, though frequently I'll see the same couple of stocks show up over and over. I have a simple setup I use and it seems to have positive expectency...

    Wow, that's surprising coming from a country like Germany that craves order.

    IP address

    Same here. IP addresses assigned by comcast are effectively fixed even though technically they're DHCP. You can prolly call their tech support line and get them to change it. Not sure why you'd want to, though.

    Chat Room Down? 1r, Nodoj, Where You All At?

    They keep moving it because you dangled a participle in the subject. :cool:

    Even with inflation in 1970. It only took 1 worker

    You just described me and my own family situation almost exactly. Even the savings rate. I'm not wealthy, just a middle class engineer. It's called "only buy things you can afford" aka "live within your means."

    IB bracket orders auto cancel after lmt fill?

    Hmmm. What about stop/limit orders then? That's all I use for entry.

    Any good free screen capture programs?

    I've tried several of these apps in the past and tried a couple of new ones posted here. Snagit is still the best since you can add text and drawing annotations without leaving the app.

    Any good free screen capture programs?

    If you're referring to snapshots as opposed to video capturing, snagit is the easiest to use. Easier than print screen and paint.
