August, Some words of wisdom I found in a TheStreet.com article discussing the "7 Deadly Sins of Technical Trading". From the article: "Sin No. 1: The bad broker. Oh, I see this one all the time, and a lot lately: You have the great method, but your online broker isn't reliable. Or one of your longs dropped 20% because your broker wouldn't take a stop-loss order on that Nasdaq stock you had. Or you had to go in and quickly change orders, but your broker's order page was down. Yep, I've been there. Used Ameritrade ( (Nasdaq:AMTD - news) ). Used E*Trade ( (Nasdaq:EGRP - news) ). Tried Suretrade. All had their strengths -- and all had plenty of flaws. Enough flaws that I finally realized (A) I was running a business, (B) my broker was my key employee and (C) my key employee needed to be fired for incompetence!" Some very important words of wisdom in the ABC's.
