And now that I look over what I wrote, I would take out "from any location," because globally means any location.

I love the graphic design - professional looking! My suggestions relate to the wording: You web site says (with my suggestions): Why Trade Remote (Remotely, because it's an adverb) With Flat Iron? Flat Iron Trading offers traders (delete the word "traders" it's not needed to make the...

Hi, Thinkorswim has a tab called "Prophet." If you have access, it goes back "forever." If you don't have access, I can look a few stocks for you if you tell me the dates you want. Mom

I appreciate the answers. The more I do this, the more I feel like I'm making my way through all the possible add ons and starting to see how keeping it uncomplicated is helpful. To RR -- Both. Good analysis of the name. Mom

Hello, I am trading index futures. Right now I'm using just teh broker's software. Please tell what advantgage I would have by signing up for esignal or another such tool. What can I do/see/use from the additional product that I really need? Everytime I try a new broker, it takes me...

Hi Dexscalper, See my post today about OEC demo giving me market fills on limit orders. The freezing -- yes. I was trading live yesterday and both the chart and the DOM frooze for a second. It was so brief (1 second) that I would have thought the market was neutral except for that I had...

Hi all, I was just playing with the OEC demo version and I placed a limit order which OEC "filled" at market. At first I thought I screwed it up, so the next _two_ times I was very careful to pay attention to the price I was asking and the fill price. No doubt, my limit orders were filled...

Thanks for the replies. I trade ES, scalp I should say, and I am new to it after playing with stocks for while. Now that I found futures, I don't trade stocks anymore at all. I'm focused on tackling my learning curve trading just the ES, and after that I may try other futures or even a...

Hello, I have accounts at both but haven't done much with the IB account. At OEC I like their platform better, as it is more intuitive. But sometimes at OEC my orders aren't filled as soon as the price first hits where I have my order. I guess there is some kind of cue line, and I'm not...

Those who lived responsibly should pay for those who bought every stupid trinket on their credit card. Such a bailout will be unhelpful in the long run, because it's a hand out and not a hand up.

If she does it right in front of you and then lies, she's an addict. You cannot help her. In fact, by leaving the relationship, you will help her more, because she will be that much closer to hitting rock bottom. If you feel you must help, tell her to call you when she's willing to get help...

Oh, and I wanted to add -- This month __Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities__ magazine has an article titled "Intrabar Execution Tooks" that details how the author trades the emini Russell 2000. I found the details helpful and applicable to trading other index futures. -- Mom

Thank you! And Steve, sorry for the mix up! -- M

Thanks, Steve, I have been enjoying your thread for struggling traders. -- Mom

I began the process of opening an IB account today. It's more involved than other account's I opened in the past with other brokers. I plan to trade futures, perhaps ES, NQ, or YM, and also maybe bond futures. Also maybe play with stock here and there and would like to try FOREX once I...

Thanks – great information! Wmb – Thanks. I’m going to put in those hours! And I’ll look into the es and ym. Yes, I’m okay with losing some money (hopefully not too much!) if I learn in the long run. I’ll just have to trade slowly and read a lot in between trades...

Thank you for the feedback. Joe Doaks and jeb9999 , I'm going to open an IB account and take a look at e-signals. Thanks for the tips, and I'm glad to have learned about the order-routing differences. I have noticed that I haven't been first to get a fill when the price hit my limit order...
