I agree, IB rocks but charts suck. Who cares though: IB plus QT prob the best combo out there.

If you have a router, and use local firewall, don't go to "red zone" website, don't download music, don't open attachments, etc on the trading computer, do you really need anti-virus? I've never had anti-virus protection and never had a problem in over a decade. Of course you have to be...

I would definitely not use your hard-earned money to learn about trading. Put it in a CD and try to get another job while trying out trading on the side with small amount of $$$. This is even more relevant since you're not in a good psychological state.

Finally had a decent day. Made over 1 solid point in UARM. A couple more trades in oil but those amounted to nothing in the end.

came back today for my first full day trading after over a week off and i got my ass royally kicked from one stupid trade to another. nothing big, just one small stop loss to another small stop-loss.

i will be v busy with some real-estate and business deals which are about to close next week and most likely will not be able trade/post-- madmunny you keep the thread alive.

sorry no one really answered your question. i went to findmynexttrade to check it out -- one thing --as far as i could tell-- they didn't show what exact trades they had taken, just cumulative p/l %. i'd like to see the log of the actual stocks (to make sure they aren't too cheap, or...

I used opex for options also -- agreed, they used to be a lot better. still one of the better ones for options though.

how much do they go for?

agree-- i think there is only one direction for oil in the long term and that's up....until we get our act together and come up with some private tech

There are two things for certain a) you're a really talented trader and b) you have a real personality disorder which kind makes you interesting to watch (but i pity the wife if there is one). anyone dissing you is either full of crap or jealous as hell.

some nice picks there. great trading.
