    Source for Fastest Earnings Reports?

    I was not sure which forum to put this in so I put it here because I guess you could say it deals with information about individual companies? :confused: Anyway...does anyone have a suggestion of one site that posts earnings results as close to real time as possible for all companies? I know...

    Need some help on this MCDTA chart (image attached)

    Thanks man! You are exactly right and it makes sense why I should not do that. I am new to the trading world and trade with relatively low capital compared to what most of you guys do so I don't have a lot to lose. I am just glad there is a place I can come where people will help me learn...

    Need some help on this MCDTA chart (image attached)

    I need a little bit of help on this chart from some experienced chart analysts... I went into a short position swing trade on Thursday with MCDTA as it peaked at the top of it's established downward channel expecting it to continue to fall this coming week. Also, the shareholders are voting...

    Netflix (NFLX) vs. Blockbuster (BBI)

    Yes...my wife and I actually use this and love it. Netflix seems to be a total rip off to what you get for the price with Blockbuster. I didn't know the details of how the new Netflix option worked but it sounds likea desperate attempt to make up for not having real store locations.

    Netflix (NFLX) vs. Blockbuster (BBI)

    Quick question on activity this morning... I am sure most of you are aware that Netflix is launching their new "watch online" option and it looks like they will gap open this morning. Will this hurt BBI's stock because they are directly competitive with NFLX or will it boost BBI because of...

    Review of My First Week on TradeStation

    Is there a good site to research these? I don't even know what YM and ES stands for.

    Review of My First Week on TradeStation

    It is funny you should mention this because I cannot tell you how many times I do this. I either hold something longer than I should or don't sell when I should because I am worried about triggering a DT. It is very obnoxious but I do not really know what to do about it except grind it out and...

    Technical Question on Being Long in SUNW

    Wow...thank you so much for the time and research you put into that response. Doing the fundamental homework is where I need to improve most as a trader. I tend to focus so much on the charts that I don't pay attention to everything going on outside of it. Is there a good website or other source...

    Do you care to explain at all? I would like to understand why you say it isn't a high probability play.

    Review of My First Week on TradeStation

    Yea that is what I hear from about everyone with any experience which is exactly why I am trying to make it on what I have (about $12K). It is just frustrating to have to jump through hoops on this PDT stuff.

    Technical Question on Being Long in SUNW

    Thanks man. I was only planning holding the short position for a couple of days. If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your information on buying interest in different industries?

    Technical Question on Being Long in SUNW

    Hi doli, Thanks for taking a look for me. I looked at the first image I posted and I noticed you can't see the upper shadows on the bars where it touches the line in the previous touches. I have attached a larger, more clear chart. Tell me if this changes things. And if not, if it closed two...

    Review of My First Week on TradeStation

    When I was looking for reviews about TS on this site I realized that most of threads are a bit outdated--some even years old. I figured since all I ever do is ask questions on here, I would try to actually contribute something to the site by adding my updated review of the TS platform. Please...

    Technical Question on Being Long in SUNW

    Hi, I'm a fairly new and definitely inexperienced trader with a quick question for some of you gurus. I am looking at SUNW from a technical standpoint. I have attached a picture of the candlestick chart I am looking at along with my trend lines and moving averages. Currently it is in a...

    What are the downsides to TradeStation?

    Laputa, Thank you very much for all the information and testimony. I am going to give TS a shot before trying someone else mainly because I already have the fund wire in process and I may as well give it a shot.

    What are the downsides to TradeStation?

    I am still waiting for my wire transfer to be confirmed and post to my acccount--I'll let you know after that happens

    What are the downsides to TradeStation?

    I think the customer service is probably a moot issue anyway being that I have not heard great things about TS's relationship to the customer either. A big thing IB has going for them is that their commissions are half the rate of TS for 500 shares and under. And while that may not be a very...

    What are the downsides to TradeStation?

    You said TS was good for a beginner. Why would it be better than Interactive Brokers? I have taken a long look at their site and I like what I see so far. Is there a reason, as a beginner, that I should stay away from a platform like this?

    What are the downsides to TradeStation?

    I just need a brokerage software that has good charting and a wide range of technical analysis tools. I also like the idea that you only pay per share when trading instead of flat fees--it makes it a lot cheaper to add to already held positions. Are there any other software packages that I...
