    With freetrade.com you need $5000 to open an account.

    ctrader,

    did you subscribe to IB's Monthly Market Data? is it necessary in order to get quotes?

    thanks in advance.

    I don't subscribe to IBs data feed. Too expensive for doing EOD trading decisions on a small account. I use quotetracker with scottrade streamer for my intraday port tracking.

    What do you guys think of AMD? If i had the money I would buy a position in it right now. Nice stop loss of about 5.. very small risk and potential of nice payoff..

    As for my AOL it looks to be hanging right around 11.. Hopefully it goes up before close and doesnt break my sl of 10.90

    Doesn't look too bad, $6.00 or so would be my first target on the upside.
