    7 months left on IU Chat

    Hi, thanks for the offer but... (lazy copy and paste incoming) "...I will stay firm at $70/mo prorated until the subscription expires. While it's not a great match for me, I still get some value out of it. Current rate direct from their website is $197 month to month or $117/mo with the annual...

    I actually like volpunter's thinking, but I will stay firm at $70/mo prorated until the subscription expires. While it's not a great match for me, I still get some value out of it. Current rate direct from their website is $197 month to month or $117/mo with the annual option. $70 is fair.

    Still available Price drop to $70/mo prorated for the balance of the subscription (about 6.5months). If interested, PM me and I will set up a Buy-It-Now auction on eBay to facilitate the transaction. Thanks.

    way to hurt my feelings debitspread. ;) jk While trading momentum stocks, shorting parabolics, and actively trading the morning (including pre-mkt) are viable strategies, now that I'm getting older (mid 40's) and slower they are just not for me anymore. So now I have the balance of this 1yr sub...

    I have 7months left on my 1yr pre-paid subscription to the Investors Underground standard chat. $525 firm ($75/mo x 7mo's). That's 30% lower than the best rate you could get on an annualized deal ($1300 or $108 per month). If interested, we can do the transaction through eBay to be safe.

    IB market data stall --- TWS or Java or Windows 8?

    The quotes in my position monitor were stalled for an hour today. All is good now.

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    So I still have the quirk with the Ameritrade data feed where if I change a symbol on a chart, it will back fill the new symbol but won't stream it. Adding the symbol to the Portfolio as suggested seems to be part of the puzzle. After adding it to the Portfolio I can get it streaming if I 1)...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Hey Jerry, Thanks very much for the suggestion. It wasn't an issue with IQ so I never even thought of that. I'll create a "random" portfolio and just throw the symbols in there whenever I'm putting up new charts. Will post back. Thanks again

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Question for those using the Ameritrade data feed for stocks: Does this feed actually work ok for anyone? Or is it really just this bad? In the past I have run IQFeed and other broker feeds without issue. -if I type a new symbol in an existing chart, it will backfill but more often than...

    What would you look for in an iPad stock tool?

    Some way to organize the stocks. ie watch lists. As far as the charts: real-time and multiple time frames (intraday, 5 day, 6mo, 1yr etc). The ability to have multiple (6 or 8) little charts on the screen at once would be great as an intraday market monitor.

    Sterling Platform Performance

    Anyone else subscribe to the DJ Broadtape news feed via Sterling? What a disaster. It will lag more than 10 minutes behind sometimes. Most days, I'm lucky if it makes it to 3:30pm before completely locking. If it were not for the spread charts, I'd probably dump Sterling. I like the look...

    Congress to change roth ira limits?

    Now if they would just allow those of us with only Cap Gains/ Ord Income (ie. no earned income) to contribute, we'd be in business. Having to set-up an LLC or Corp just to contribute to an IRA/ retirement account is annoying. Thanks for listening. :)

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Ikea sells a couple of electric-powered height adjustable work tables. Not sure if that would work for you. http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?topcategoryId=15600&catalogId=10103&storeId=12&productId=51552&langId=-1&parentCats=15600*15870*16129

    Tax on trading income

    Any CPA's out there know why Green transfers money to the schedule C to "zero" it out? Is it necessary? The IRS website doesn't say to do it that way. A trader-tax savy CPA I spoke to a while back said it was not needed. It seems that Green is the only one advocating this method. Who is right...

    Live News Service, Free

    The Fly on the Wall service using Windows Media Player seems about 15+ seconds delayed to me. When they say "1 minute left in the day", there are usually only 30 - 45 seconds left.

    New IRS schedule D requirements

    I am using Simply Track this year. Seems pretty good so far. Fairly easy to import transactions. I used this last year. http://softwaydev.bizland.com/wssdg/ Does anyone know what's involved in undoing a MTM election? For example...5 years from now you decide to stop trading and pursue...

    Great Book - Cheesy Title

    "You Can Be a Stock Market Genius - Uncover the Secret Hiding Places of Stock Market Profits" by Joel Greenblatt More short-term investing that trading, but still good. Definitely fits the Cheesy title requirement.
