IB will not give a margin call, they just liquidate the position.

Thanks Def. I checked out that page and found what I need. For anyone interested; I downloaded ezWAP 2.1 from www.ezos.com. I installed it on my pocket pc then set IB as my home page, configured the browser setting, and was able to login to my account. I will have to wait until tomorrow when...

This is one of the things I do with my pocket pc. I installed a charting program on the pc so I can just sit outside, or while I'm watching t.v., or anytime for that matter and go thru my charts. It works great for chart surfing. The new Dell Axim's have Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition...

I just got my new Dell Axim pocket pc with wi-fi 802.11b wireless. I was hoping that that I would be able to trade on it using IB's mobile trader technology. However, I can't seem to get it to work properly. I am able to surf the internet and go to IB's homepage but I can't login. I guess...

I already bought a dog. Unfortunately, he never has any good ideas about the market.

By the way, if this post is referring to me it's incorrect on two levels. First, I'm not a newbie, but if that's what you think, okay. Second, I'm not trying to show anyone that I can or can't trade. I just thought there may be people on this site who would want to exchange in some real...

Okay, I have just finished up for the day and here's my thoughts....I GOT CREAMED!!! My account is down about 6% on the day and nothing I did worked. I liked the action this morning, when I went to bed last night the NQ was down 4 points, when I woke this morning is was up 4 points. I started...

Here's my thinking The 2000 level is the key. When the market was going up all the shorts started selling at the 2000 level. Once we went through that level I would bet that some of the shorts held tuff; this will be their first chance to get out even. On any bounce what-so-ever I see most...

How much cheaper do you think it will get and why? In my mind if we break these levels I will be looking for shorts not longs.

Whoops, wrong word. I meant decent; the "S" just slipped in there.

I think the Nasdaq looks good here (1990-2000 level), what does everybody else think? I'm not sure if we will see new highs anytime soon, but I think we move higher over the next week or maybe even two. We're at a strong support level, and some of the best sectors over the last 6 months (ie...

Thanks I was trying to use http://sling.to/autotrader/.

I tried to open my AutoTrader on Friday and I was informed that my version was expired and that I need to download the new version. Now, AutoTrader's website isn't working. I had to use Bracket Trader on Friday; it lost one of my trades and showed me flat when I really was short some S&P...

If that's all the information you want just use Yahoo stock screener. It's free and easy.

How many shares do you need to trade in order to be considered a high volume trader?

Do a search on Yahoo. Just put in what ever beta amounts you want. Make sure that you understand beta though. Even stocks with low (not negative) beta will tank if the market tanks.

How do you find candlestick patterns intraday? Do you only watch a handful of stocks everyday and wait for patterns to form, or do you just scan stocks all day looking for patterns? Seems like it would be hard to find good trades to take everyday.

I have just started to become interested in Forex trading due to the 24 hour a day trading. I am reading everything I can and all that good stuff but I have some questions I think could be answered here on ET. My first question is weather or not mini forex trading (like that offered at FXCM)...

Cramer trades his own multi-million dollar account and is up 26% on that money this year and is being called a hack. Oh brother. 14 years as a profitable hedge fund manager and he can't pick stocks? I would like to see one person ripping Cramer on this site who makes more money trading...

Funny that at least 3 of the people on these list have already openly admitted to blowing out their accounts. So are you talking trading intelligence or just book smart?
