Add me to the list of TradeStation unhappy guys looking for a second or new broker. I started a thread with the same complaint in Tech Speaking before I found this thread. To recap, I haven't been able to short SPY for about three weeks and yesterday couldn't short Spy DIA, or IWM early in the...

I'm with TradeStation. For about 3 weeks I get a message saying that shares of Spy are hard to locate and my order is rejected. Yesterday I tried to short SPY, DIA, and IWM early in the morning and got the same message. With orders of only 100 shares I get rejected. What gives? Is...

Just thought I'd add that this is the first my first visit to the journal area and yours is the first thread I've read. I don't listen to tv and all the rest. I usually don't want to know what others are doing. But , I opened one of your charts and I saw that your approach is real close to mine...

Just wondering what kind of feedback/discussions you'd like, if any. I happen to agree completely with trend trader. That said, its easy to see where your method normally works. I just think we are in for a bit of a swing up (a bit) and I'll short like crazy again in the near future. I'd...

Xian, you didn't undferstand the concepts of "seeing what is". No surprise. That is the most important lesson one can learn in life and one of the most difficult. It should be obvious that survival in the market is dependent on it, unless your infinite wisdom sees the future ahead of everyone...

Xianokie, I'm impressed. You are familiar with much more of the psychobabble than most people I know that delve in that stuff. Hmmmm? Sounds like you're still searching for something. But you know,it REALLY is a zen kind of thing(for lack of a better label), and by that I mean the following...

<I am a college student, so I don't have time (or enough money) to do day trading but I would like to learn how to make trades lasting a couple of days or more. Are there day trading strategies that can be applied? I appreciate your help.> Wait till you have lots of time so you can do your...

Just curious, but what was the deal/merger/whatever with White Pacific? What was that all about?

Xianokie, don't be too harsh. It takes most folks a long time to understand that "when you get to a fork in the road, take it". The biggest stumbling block is the map they're trying to use. People don't realize that the map for the road is usless if they don't know where they're going.

Dat, good points. However they've done nothing to squash rumors or instill confidence. They talk about enhancements--well brag about them, entice people to stay or even sign up. But for now, if it smells like rotten fish..... I want to see meal first. And get rid of that damn smell. What a...

I always like to hear the reasons people have for making important decisions. So this is about my search and decisions for choosing TradeStation over the competition. Having a good broker is essential. I was very happy with PD, loved the software and the customer service was very good. but...

gbungard, who'd you end up with as a broker and how about fed back--I'm waiting on IB approval.

WAIT! There are alot of changes going on. The original PD and software were great --but don't know what changes are going to surface next week. This is not idle chatter.

Yup, I just submitted my app.

Promises, promises. I'd switch to IB except I've never been able to get the demo to work. Still amazed at how few people are responding. And if anybody has news or info--please document your source--can't trust anyone right now.

So Grime, what did you ask, what did they say about anything?

they are answering phones today but you won't learn anything new--the usual--"we should be up today, maybe tomorrow". There is some serious disorganization going on which you will discover if you ask any pointed questions. They have to look up stuff manually. Don't think their data base is...

I spoke with Curt at around 10:00 pst. I haven't contacted White Pacific, probably a good idea. It would be nice to get some clarity about the relationship between PD and White, and PD's new role.

I got through today and got the same response--should be up tomorrow. If you want to get your money out contact the clearing firm SWS unless you switched to ComputerClearing. I wouldn't worry about your funds. My hunch is that your seeing a massive PR screw up on their part in merging with...

Its been 15 plus years since I was involved with it so I don't know what has changed. However, the test administration is nothing--its a do it your self test paper and pencil,--used to be 566 or so questions. The skill is in the interpretation, but now much if not most has been...
