Who owns the stock when you bought it from someone who's also bought it from someone else, who in turn got hers on the day of the IPO? Yeah, it's the same concept.

Considering that Schwab was the pioneer of discount brokerage, it's kinda funny how they're now more full-service than these other crappy outfits.

Of all places in the world, I would think Swiss has one of the toughest financial regulations. So did you file a formal complaint with the regulators? Did you even contact a lawyer? If not, why not? Instead of coming here to vent your frustration, I suggest you go see your lawyer.

Don't have the exact stats, but from memory, the exchange fees (which make up the largest portion of the commission) went up quite significantly over the last decade, especially after CME went public and bought NYMEX, CBOT and other exchanges. Thery're practically a monopoly.

Ughhh, tell me about it. This happens quite a lot actually. You know what's even worse though? It can happen to not only your exit stop but also your entry stop. Stop loss: it invariably gets hit and then the damn price quickly reverses. Entry stop: price comes sooooooooooooo close to my entry...

Is it possible to fake your trade when you're posting LIVE, as in under 30 seconds of execution? How the hell are you supposed to know in advance whether it will turn out to be a winner or a loser? You try it and tell me if that's even possible. But you're right that I don't post all my trades...

Okay this will be last reply on Bitcoin. What I will say is this: the selloff has been pretty orderly up till now. However, if Bitcoin should break below 60K (and not just a minor dip, but say it goes down to 57K), you might see some panic selling. You can accuse me of FUD and whatnot, but I...

Only time I've seen something similar was with Palladium (rising 201%), which in fact rose twice as much as Cocoa (110%). But look what happened afterwards (Gulp!) Eventually, what goes up comes down. Nothing goes up forever!

We dropped down to 63.5K earlier today and we are currently trading at 63815 as I type. You all thought I was only FUDing. Well, you could have sold at 70k (or higher when I spoke about the reversal) and bought it back here, which would have been enough to send your kid to a college for a...

Hey, there was 1 dude who got his head out just in time. Others wouldn't listen. :banghead: :sneaky:

We've known about this since Uncle Darwin released his apocalyptic vision on the world: The survival of the slimiest. Only the slimiest ones will adapt to its surrounding and come out alive. Bottom line: Don't be rigid; be a slimeball. :sneaky:

Uhm, that wasn't exactly what i had in mind, but that'll work too if you're consistently Think of it in terms of velocity. The faster you move, the slower the time. In a fast moving market, you might wanna zoom out to a higher timeframe. But in a slower choppy market, it would serve you well to...

Is this one of them vegan propositions? I'm a PETA vegan, so why aren't you, dammit?!! :) As they say, it's not what you use, it's how you use it. 1 minute chart is fine and it's great for quick scalps.

Dude, no, you don't second guess or outwit your own plan. Otherwise, what's the point of having a plan? You stick to the plan, always.

Great advice. I, for one, like to trade for trading sake. Money is secondary. There's no better feeling than having executed my trades exactly to the plan--win or lose.

LOL I remember that as well. I think Comcast fell to like pennies and Cramer is like "ah, no big deal, just buy it" and before you know it, the stock shot right back up. The thing is, all my platforms froze up at the time and there was nothing i could do.

Time to stockpile them Eminems :cool:

TOS provided squawk box back then and I heard the entire squawk through the flash crash. It was surreal to see the charts freeze up everywhere but you can clearly hear the guy screaming like hell as if there's no tomorrow.

You should really look at NQ, since that beast has been the most dominant among other indices. On Friday, it decisively CLOSED below EMA(20) for the first time since who knows when. And like you said, this is also the first time its weekly had 2 consecutive down candles. But then again, the...
