My IRA is with E-Trade but in conversation with IB, I believe they are the same as E-Trade re the re-use of funds in an IRA. For example, if I have 50K in my IRA and buy 50K worth of ABC stock in the morning and later in the day sell the stock and with the proceeds buy XYZ stock (this is...

Here's the way E-trade explained allowable trading in an IRA: If you buy stock ABC and then turn around and sell ABC (either the same day or before the 3 day settlement period), the funds are available to you immediately for re-investment. Here's where it gets a bit confusing: Let's say you buy...

Take a look at the free Business Week scanner at http://prosearch.businessweek.com/businessweek/general_free_search.html?mode=advanced. Just enter the low and high stock price you're interested in, and for "price range" just select "high as possible". Hope this helps.

Look at CME and GOOG. I'm sure there are others but these two have consistently high daily ranges.

I use the same settings for intraday trading and they work fine. What charting software are you using and where is your data feed coming from ?

Interactive Brokers - extremely fast execution and one of the least expensive commission schedules

GG ; excellent fundamentals. One of the best of the gold stocks.

Trader42 You can sell covered calls in most IRA's. I've had my IRA with three different brokers over the past several years. They all allowed selling covered calls in an IRA account.

There is no 3 day waiting period for daytrading in an IRA for stock purchases in an E-Trade IRA. The waiting period that you refer to (as treated by E-Trade) only pertains to the time you have to wait (i.e. settlement period) for funds withdrawal. Check with your specific broker since each...

I have been trading futures through IB and use the free QT software for realtime charting. Works great ! Jerry Medved of QT support is very responsive if you have any questions. Good luck.

Sounds pretty basic but how many times do we trade counter to the daily move of the market ? Go with the trend and get out quickly if it moves against you. Commissions are low enough if you need to get back in. Chalk up a series of small wins. It will do wonders to restore your confidence and...

Omni, IB charges 4.80 R/T with lightning fast executions. Their site may not be as jazzy as openecry but its cheap and fast. Does openecry provide any additional value for the ES trader ? Thanks.

I went to daytradingthemarkets.com but didn't see the list or link you were referring to. Also, I use barchart.com and don't know of any range listing they provide in the equities or signal sections. Can you be more specific ? Thanks.

A while back I used a free site that listed each day (by exchange) those stocks with the greatest daily trading range. I thought I had bookmarked the site, but can't seem to find it. Does anyone know of the site or similar sites ? Thanks.

Only limit orders are accepted in the pre-market. I want to buy NASDAQ stocks at the MARKET at the open. My question was can I enter these as market orders in the pre-market so that they execute at the market at the open ???

According to IB's Users Guide, Market On Open orders are only available for NYSE or AMEX listed stocks. Since market orders are not accepted in the pre or post market, If I enter a market order on a NASDAQ stock in the pre-market, won't this execute at the market at the open ? If so...
