    Congrats to the winners! And thanks for the pic Rob. That was a terrible week by the way. At least for me it was.

    My stab in the dark is 1250.79. And yes, I'm on a military network. Good luck everyone! This week seems like a tough one.

    Is there a way for you to post this to the forum? I can't see it. Sorry I'm at work. Thanks. If it's not beginner's luck then I don't know what it is. lol :clap: Thank You. I can't believe I got that close twice in a row. I'm pretty sure that's about all the luck I'm going to get.

    Picture: Why did Dell's price get down but the index went up?

    I have to agree with what Peter said. Also, take into consideration the time frame. I didn't look it up, but I'm assuming a number of things such as "news" and volume may have affected the price action on the day in question.

    Day Trade Margin Call

    They wouldn't have restricted me for 90 day's just yet. The Margin Call Page also included the following: If you have an outstanding (but not past due) DT Call, you will be entitled to trade on 2 times Maintenance Excess (ME). Once the call becomes past due, your account is limited to trading...

    Day Trade Margin Call

    I'm actually in Afghanistan at the moment. I didn't really think about the time difference. And as far as what day it is. I don't really get days off so most of the time I don't even know what day it is. It's my fault for expecting some sort of rapid response team to help me out when I didn't...

    Day Trade Margin Call

    Never mind! I recieved the help I needed from my brokerage. Too bad no one here was able to help me in time. :( I guess moderators, you can close this thread since it will not be beneficial to anyone in the future. It will just be another thread with a lot of views and no replys. Thank You!

    Day Trade Margin Call

    I was issued a Day Trade Margin Call as the tittle suggest. I'm a new trader and I wasn't completely familiar with this type of margin call. I was under the impression that the only types of margin call I can receive is if my account equity size were to fall below the maintenance requirement. Or...

    Also note how close the three moving averages are(20,50,200) to the other retracement lines. I'm guessing if the market is moving down it may find some support around the 50day. It may be a little off since I'm using EMA and not SMA. Your thoughts? Hopefully I'm doing this right.

    Re: W/E 11th May - Results Thanks again! But more importantly thanks to lady luck for the kindness. I really appreciate it. I'm doing some analysis now for next week. I found something interesting on the fibs. Which I'm sure some of you have already seen already. To be quite honest, I'm not...

    Technical Analysis The Stochastic Indicator: When it Works, When it Doesn?t & Why

    New Trader Here I liked this article. It was pretty informative. However I don't know anyone who would blindly use one indicator and trade off of that alone. Where's the volume? Where's the price action? Where are the trend lines? Especially with no form of risk management, or money management...
