Mr. Market is right!!!!! :p

Your opinion is never important. The market doesn't care what you think.

Listen to what market says not what Prechter or anyone else say.

He developed a simple and strict trend following system at the time when trend following isn't popular at all. Nowadays many traders know about trending following so it doesn't work so well as it used to be. The big sharks know where the stops probably are and will try to kick them out...

Dead! :(

+1 Market is always right. Your opinion is nothing important.

Standard answer: depends on what you need. You tell nothing about yourself and specifically what you are looking for.

Good question in a technology era. I guess this is the side-effect of "no competition".

Two utmost important rules: A stock which keeps rising is a good stock no matter how bad it seems fundamentally. A stock which keeps falling is a bad stock no matter how good it seems fundamentally.

The biggest mistake investors make is they choose to be an investor. There is no such thing as "investment" in the market.

Very often IB deals bugs in a way that it doesn't feel like fixing bugs at all. When they encounter that perhaps they don't border to fix they may say something like that: 1. "I couldn't reproduce it" (I have written a step-by-step instruction. The staff simply said that without leaving me...

I couldn't agree more. Years ago (I believe it should be about 4-5 years ago) it was reported that a message dialog didn't have "[ ] Do not show this again" and asked IB to fix it. An IB staff who was in a fairly high position asked him to post it on the features poll, as if it were a...

You were charged a commission and the small balance came back. Do you mean? reached IB staff -> small balance removed, normal commission rate charged -> small balance came back later -> you removed it yourself in TWS, commission charged again This is one of the largest ridicule in the world...

I haven't received my first check yet. I'm working and answering questions without payment. Dammit! :( Anyone who wants to be my first sponsor please PM me for contacts. Thank you. :p

Did you read my previous post? The demo TWS was and should be buggy. At least the time I tried it it was really buggy. The bugs found in demo didn't exist in the true TWS (papertrading account). To repeat the demo TWS was and should be buggy. A demo TWS is to give you a feel of the...

The reason why you feel your order has an impact is because you commit the same common mistakes most newbie traders do. Market is about general psychology. It's time to sell when the public is too eager to buy. It's time to buy when the public is too panic to sell. That's why you seem to...

To simplify the case let's assume there are 4 traders in the market. Market maker A, individual A, individual B, individual C. Assume market maker has perfect information and complete control on the market. Individual A is on the buy. Individual B and C is on the sell. As a "godly"...

Hello! You made a fundamental mistake of how markets work. "Market maker" isn't one single entity as a whole. Big guys do compete with one another. A market doesn't work like a casino where players are always against the banker. What truth is the majority must be the losers because market...

The second issue you have to pay attention about unbundled plan is IB's fees and commissions are calculated on marginal basis. This means you won't enjoy full discounts as some contracts are still charged at higher costs. For example ZB options becomes $1.47 when you reach the third tier (over...

Yes, simply open two accounts. Set the first account to use bundled another unbundled. Someone in EliteTrader said IB unbundled was nearly always cheaper than bundled if you don't usually hold contracts overnight. In fact it's not true. The situation is more complicated. I found out more...
