  1. Why is it when I submit a buy order, I get "your order will be pending review" and it doesn't fill for about a minute?

    Not a big deal, just curious.

  3. You guys have to stop daytrading. Really. You will do so much better with a longer term perspective.

    An example trading plan

    Issue: AIG
    Bias: Long
    Target: $35.65
    Stop: $24.15
    Accumulation: Add on dip into $24.40 area.
    Profit taking: $27.25 on 50% position

    Stick to a plan and dont be a dumba$$ and daytrade.

  5. is your platform direct access? Otherwise you can get killed in a fast market if you are scalping at all.

  6. It's not a bad swing trade idea, but that stop price is just plain awful, IMO.
