Cool! I assume you'll be on Townsend Analytics software. I'll keep in touch, that's what I use, and you can set up your screen(s) really cool, it's a great way to go. There is even a thread for setting up your screen with that software. #Subject-10862

Trade on the simulator till you get the hang of it. Here is the main thing to watch out for: when you have an order ready to go, the buy/sell window will appear on the screen. If you leave that window up, and look at something else, then come back to the buy/sell window, you can click on the "buy" when you really wanted to "sell". I've even seen guys buy the wrong stock because they didn't double check! Not good if you were on YHOO for 100 shares, changed your mind, then went to MRVC for 1000 and ended up getting 1000 YHOO by mistake....

The safest way is to get rid of that window unless you are about to do a trade, so you don't screw up. Then if you do, be ready to GTFO real fast. Everyone learns this the hard way, maybe you will be the first to learn it the easy way.

You are gonna like ISLD.

Is it more money per trade for trading pre and post market, that's an incredible advantage to have when news hits re a stock. I checked into it maybe 6 months back and it was a minimum of 100 dollars per trade and the minimum balance to open an acct. was 50,000.00. If fee is the same and it is MB Trading, I will switch ASAP.
