    CRY0 on TC2000

    It looks like the CRB cash index is being discontinued ... ?? But then again, there is some sort of data still being distributed - at least on my TC2000 it is (but no daily high and lows). Does anyone know an alternative for the TC2000 CRY0? Thanks.

    Series7 without working for a firm =How?

    Quick update for anyone thinking of going this route, When NASD became FINRA in 2007, some of the rules changed. WA state stopped supporting individuals for the series 7 exam in 2007.

    Series7 without working for a firm =How?

    Thanks. I realize that. I have had TWO job interviews last week where they lament the fact that I do not have those licenses. And yes, they will sponsor me, however, if I have the license beforehand, I would get $20k more right off the bat rather than waiting 2 years to work myself up their...

    Series7 without working for a firm =How?

    I would like to have an update on this old thread. I would like to take the series 7 and am not employed with a securities firm. I have looked around a bit for state sponsorship (in WA and OR) but cannot find any hard info - just vague references. If you know of a direct link - could you...

    Best book on technical analysis for beginners

    Kirkpatrick's book is great. Very solid. Edwards McGhee is also excellent. Every other book will have a nugget of wisdom, but with those 2 books you'll be busy for a while.

    Tradestation 9.1: Portfolio Maestro

    -------------------------------------------------- Tradestation software is very nice but it's sort of backward.. I tried automating with TS8, the script couldn't get very much info from the brokerage at all, in fact it drove me towards using market orders and I didn't want to do that, moved...

    Chartered Market Technician

    You can do all the studying via homestudy but you are not awarded the CMT designation until you can prove work experience in the field (with clients) for several years, find several sponsors who will endorse your work, and get approved by the MTA board.

    Chartered Market Technician

    I think it depends where. In some countries nobody has ever heard about it, and some institutions look with a wariness towards technical analysis in general - also, because an analysis based on technicals is harder to get across to a client, then talking about products and earnings. That being...

    Trading while in college

    It could take a while, but eventually, after learning a lot, don`t believe anything until you can prove it yourself. Question everything. That includes the old wife`s tale of 90% of all traders loose money, or doji candles always signal market turnarounds. Test it yourself or dig for the...

    Characteristics of a Successful Trader

    2 quickie points that came to my head .... 1. Regarding "Newbies validating some wonderful guru/seminar, etc..." It makes sense that newbies do well after having been taught a course with some guru. My success in trading goes in waves and has become more consistent over the years - but in...

    Where do I find good trading videos?

    a subscription was worth it to me despite many of those videos being from the 90s. tv.ino.com/premium/experts.html another one, if you are a member of the MTA (mta.org) - they have an education section with archived webinars.

    Financial Advisor Compensation

    Also, the inner workings of any brokerage are against the clients benefit. [/B] So far it looks like: FA are bad traders - but that is not really their job - maybe more something like wealth preservation. The firm's goal (increase of assets under management) is therefore implemented by...

    Financial Advisor Compensation

    Prudent as I am, some of my money always gets put away in various accounts. There is the trading account, some other investmen account and here I am considering something new - an investment advisor. Why would I do that? Just for diversification - in this case, diversification of opinion. So...

    backtest for 3 years, blow up in 3 days,

    Not having read the whole thread, I apologize should I repeat something said already. However, I went through this process, a big eye opener was one of the reading I had to do for the CMT exam of the MTA (certified market technician), "Evidenced-based Technical Analysis" by Aronson...

    Odd Lots Mixed Lots Whole Lots

    Thanks you for your reply. It just seems odd, who can trade 100 shares of google or 100 shares of BRKR? Still looking for a few more opinions.

    Odd Lots Mixed Lots Whole Lots

    I just opened a very small account with a new brokerage firm. This is what happned: I had gotten in 20 shares at FGP (now that is a fairly thinly traded stock) and today I closed out at market. My market was a pure market order. Since it didn't seem that my order was executing after 8...
