    survey for mobile users of stock charts

    I was looking to get the opinion of anyone here who looks at stock charts and uses a narrow-width device (iPhone, etc - basically, anything less than 500px or so). I was wondering: 1. if you look at charts on your narrow device or simply wait to do it on a more usable device like a...

    TOS - turn off message center DING

    Can you tell me where I can turn off all messages? The only setting that I am aware of is at: > "Setup" > "Application Settings" > "Display" > "Show Message Center For" = "Do not show" Is this the one you are talking about?

    TOS - turn off message center DING

    Is there a way to turn off the message center DING alert? Or code it so it refers to a different sound file or something?

    trust account experiences

    What if it is a DIY trust (such as one made from LegalZoom, etc). Would a brokerage firm decline the application? I don't have one of those, but am just curious.

    trust account experiences

    The thread title was accurate. I am not looking for advice on how to set up an account. I know how to do so. My question had nothing to do with taxes in any way. I wasn't trusting anything to a message board. I was simply soliciting people's experiences. My question had nothing to do...

    trust account experiences

    It would be a living trust, with only myself as the trustee and one beneficiary.

    trust account experiences

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had any bad experiences with either setting up or trading through a trust account. 1) If I change my individual account to a trust account, could this be done while maintaining my open positions (stock and option trades that I hold for 3-60 days)? or is it...

    Where can I advertise my stock plays?

    Can you post that info so others can see? Am I allowed to post links to my site within the Journals section of EliteTrader?

    figuring tax basis

    FACTS: - You write a put. - It gets exercised on Dec 18th, 2011. - You are now long 1,000 shares @ $100 each ($100,000 of stock) and there is a $100 commission for the assignment. Your cost basis is $100,100.00. - You sell half of the shares on Dec 31, 2011 and the other half the next day...

    stock spam sent to your brokerage acct.

    Actually, I received the same spam. I got suspicious because (similar to the OP) the email address that I used has only been used for a few financial accounts, with Ameritrade, OptionsHouse, and Fidelity being the only brokerage firms. After doing a Google search for: "The Insiders Group...

    Selling lots of trading and investing books on EBay starting from 0.01$

    Actually, you were the one who initiated the issue, not me. I'm not "over-thinking". If this conversation is too much for you, then that's fine, but don't project that limitation onto me. I'm fine with it. Typical EliteTrader ad hominem attack. I disagree. Sell them for what you can...

    Selling lots of trading and investing books on EBay starting from 0.01$

    Your 2nd post has nothing to do with your 1st post. But besides that, your 2nd reply is also contradictory. You claim that the books "can be had for a few dollars" (assumably from a store), which, from the tone of your sentence, seems to imply that is OK for a store (who presumably hasn't...

    Unfortunately, we are not talking about value, we are talking about price.

    Selling lots of trading and investing books on EBay starting from 0.01$

    Why not? Being a successful trader doesn't necessarily mean you don't want to get the most money for the books. I could even argue that being a successful trader would make someone MORE likely to realize the maximum value. I have made $30,000 per day in the markets on some days, but it didn't...

    option prices off

    Every now and then, I see option prices way off. Here is an example for Avon (AVP) on Oct 27th. I don't remember if this snapshot was taken while the market was open or closed. These quotes are for spreads, but the question still applies. The spread prices for November, December and the...

    How to manage thread subscriptions?

    Thanks. But under the "Subscribed Threads" section it says: "There have been no new posts in the last 0 days to your subscribed threads." This shows unread posts from my subscribed threads. But I don't think it actually shows what my subscribed threads are. Or am i wrong?

    How to manage thread subscriptions?

    Can someone show me how to manage thread subscriptions. Most VB platforms have a specific page for this. I can't find it through the "Your Account" link.
