Using IB. pic attached

That makes sense- they are averaged. They still seem like awkward numbers.
Ah, good old IB. Been out of IB for a while, I forgot. IB averages trades. That's why their tape is no good. Frankly, why are you all with IB? Move to some other broker. At least 50 cent savings per r/t over IB, far better feed, etc. etc.
 
Talking in points sort of standardizes things though so you can compare pure performance.


NO! It doesn't and that's my point (no pun intended) of all my rants!

You said you wanted to make 1 point a day, that's about 20 points a month. But i just lost 14 points... which to you means a lot. But I look at the actual money lost which was v little in percentage terms. So there is no standarization of performance whatsoever! It's a fucking meaningless comparison!!!!

rant over, I start my summer vacation to the Caribbean tomorrow and wanna get in da mooood :cool:

they all got their pros and cons. if you're saving on commissions, you're probably spending somewhere else. Seems to be one of the best overall. Cost-wise at least.

Much better in the winter months. Beaches in the winter, mountains in the summer.

Good vibes and safe travels!
