when you want to analyze each trade by trade what's the best way to correlate them in Excel then?

Fidelity's broker accounts provide history information where each transaction appears on a separate line and you'd have to parse that an correlate the trades yourself. Has anybody done this or have a better way of tracking performance when using Fidelity.

I have this book for sale for $35 Book is like new.

If you have a magic mouse then go take a look at BetterTouchTool

I'm noticing that the December 09 Active Trader has poor printing. Specifically rubbing the lettering results in the ink running. It doesn't take much compared to the September 09 issue.

Also take a look at ThinkDesktop by TOS which will work with ThinkOrSwim accounts or TD Ameritrade accounts. It is geared towards Futures and Options traders but it's the best broker provided platform I've seen in my travels.

Is simply generations behind other brokers software such as ThinkDesktop by ThinkorSwim or even TD's offerings. It's like using a DOS application most of the time with Fidelity's Active Trader Pro. I'd be very interested if there are successful traders that actually make money with this platform.

I'm just curious if anybody has an opinion on the value of articles in Active Trader magazine.

Isn't such a cross trade illegal and would be easily detected?

Just because Goldman predicts S&P will go higher by the end of the year the market goes nuts and rallys? Why on earth do they give Goldman so much credibility?

Ron Ianieri's "Option Theory and Trading" or Greg Jensen's "Spread Trading" how much overlap would there be with Jeff Augen's "The Volatility Edge in Options Trading" The Spread Trading book is my ideal next read but I know I'd learn a few things from reading Ron's book also.

What's up with these incredibly annoying sound effects Fast Money are playing whenever a chart is put up or removed. Man that's annoying.

Yes doing something that has entry and exit prices on the same line will make schedule D harder it's just that that way it's much harder to implement automating entry from the downloaded CSV data. It essentially needs to be transposed in order for that to work. Anybody have anything that...

So it's not likely that the banks will have to pay out to those who they sold insurance to then?

So, fidelity offers downloadable CSV data for transactions but you have different rows for buy , sell in that extract. So, I don't currently track PnL per trade but only overall since you simply add up the column to get your overall values. That is obviously a poor way of doing things but I...

Assuming I'm always buying calls or puts and want to expand my horizons which is the the best Spread Trading book to read?

In general their platform isn't competitive with offerings from TD and ThinkOrSwim. I trade thru their website and it works but it has many limitations.

Caruso Cabrera is the one that annoys me the most (next to Kudlow) but CC cannot open her mouth without some supply sided comment or attack. Melissa ( not Lee) or whatever her name is equally annoying. The egos on that channel are simply amazing. I'm surprised they've keep that whole Power...

Donnie seems to be the only liberal on CNBC and constantly is talked over and down. From where I stand most of what I hear from Donnie is right on the mark and the rest of the schills for the elites are just out for their own interests. It's amazing how with Kudlow in the morning the coverage...

Anybody who's seen both ThinkDesktop and TD Ameritrades platofrms is probably hoping that Ameritrade keeps their mits of ThinkDesktop. ThinkDesktop is IMHO vastly superior to Ameritrades offerings and their will be a lot of upset Think or Swim customers if Ameritrade tries to migrate them to...
