We all have our demons. I have a bud who trades 50-100 contracts at a time. He actually calls his broker if he has a 50K+ day to shut him...
Oh here we go. Never had a bad day in your trading life, eh?
Something I can choose the options for myself of: -$250 market exit and lock me out for the day. +$500 Lock me out for the day. +300...
thanks for the input guys. I think they do it to make you 'feel' better at the end of the day.
Ah.... nice game playing. Not surprised.
I'm a bit confused. There's a real time P/L listed, and then the 'purchasing power' which is your actual cash. I'll make/loose X per day,...
NoDoji... Wasn't sure you'd be back in this thread. I read all .. ugh yes! Every page in your blog since the beginning. I've been at this a...
Awesome post ThuNd3r. I'm going to print that and read it every morning, and after every close. What a great piece of writing.

OK fellows, here is the scenario. I am collecting unemployment since having lost my job in the fall. I was using fidelity with A T margin...
I do both, but scalping pays the bills. I just would like to be able to have an emergency stop automatically entered with the trade. Sometimes...
I am switching to IB, Genesis Laser, or Lightspeed. I've read many hours of ins and outs of all three. IB with TWS or using button trader...
It appears they are great if you are trading small sizes in expensive stocks. If you are trading big sizes in cheaper stocks, forget about it....

Is this a broker problem or exchange? I use fidelity. I put in an order and I don't like the price action. So I go to cancel it and the...
I'm still nervous about this.. anyone confirm this is correct? I still wake up with nightmares some weeks thinking about it, even months later....
