Bollinger bands:
If you are looking at a chart and the candlesticks are starting to rise up above the top band. Is that an indicator that the PPS is about to head south?
You're welcome.
I failed to mention there's a board here with a helpful grid of several brokerage firms with fees and other information:

Take care and nice to meet you Andy.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me out. Very good information. The first thing I'm going to do is try to negotiate with etrade. I foresee myself trading more over the years to come so I might look at having a second brokerage.
My new investment philosophy is "Think long, think wrong"so I do plan on trading and making faster turn arounds. I'll look into Ameritrade too. Thanks, Andy
Hi,
How much do you trade? If you make several trades a month, you probably can negotiate lower fees just about anywhere.
E-trade usually will charge a lower fee if you make a certain # of trades each month.
I just recently went back to Ameritrade because I like their new platform called the Architect. I also negotiated a much lower fee than what they advertise (just call up their 800# and ask for a local branch office).
Here's their new platform:

If you're just investing long term and not really trading, maybe TradeKing as they only charge $4.95 per trade and their service was pretty good but they're not good with short trades. I once complained on twitter about something and within an hour, I received an email offering free trades and an apology.
If you an active trader but have less than the daytrader's rule (25k) requirement, you might be interested in a prop account in which the rule is bypassed (read more here):

How do you respectfully request that a moderator be excused for obvious bias against the stock they are moderating
A board mark is just like a "bookmark" on your browser. If you like a particular board you hit "follow board" and you will now have the board marked so you can access it quickly. Works the same with people marks - if you want to follow a particular person you hit "follow this member" and you will have them people marked.
OTCQB – The U.S. Reporting Company Marketplace
OTCQB is the middle tier of the OTC market. OTCQB companies are reporting with the SEC or a U.S. banking regulator, making it easy for investors to identify companies that are current in their reporting obligations. There are no financial or qualitative standards to be in this tier.

What does QB mean when posted to a stock?
It is the information box the explains what each board is about. If you have it hidden you will see on the right "Show Intro Message" - just click on it to open it up. If it is already open and you don't want all that on your screen click on "Hide Intro Message" and it will collapse it so all you will see is the title and the mods names.
That was added because of the huge volume spike on the 16th: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=63237803
Happens all the time.
Thank you Cintrix!

Check this site out, should answer your questions about bollinger bands and how they relate to candlesticks, there is a video on the front page.
http://bollingerbands-tt.com/
since I am not a TA person I will leave that question to someone else
what does it mean if the candlesticks are above or outside the BB's?
Certain stocks trade in premarket and after hours. I can only trade the ones from nasdaq and nyse. If you trade during these hours your broker will charge you a larger commission fee than they do during regular hours. If you chose to buy or sell during these hours you need to indicate that when you place your order. There is usually an option - instead of Good For the Day or GTC you would choose Extended Hours (or however your broker words it).
What are pre-market trades and how does one trade pre-market?
good luck with it
Thank you cintrix. I decided to see what opening price is and wait for a dip. If it looks good. Thank you again
That's a loaded question and, imo, it all depends on circumstances (what the actual news is, share structure, was it prom'd, etc). Sometimes a stock sells on news. But if you are absolutely sure that it is going to go big and you don't think you will have a chance to get it at the opening ask, why not set the price at a fraction above the price, say at .021 or at .025, instead of an entire penny above it as in your example? I am not familiar with sharebuilder so I have no idea how quick or slow they are with their executions. I think the answer to your question is basically two questions: How sure are you that the news will move it hugely, and how much do you really want it?
Hello all,
If you all are about to enter a stock that has alot of buzz going on and the pr was released on Fri and National TV rcognition. How would you all set your buy limit. Lets say the stock is currently at .02 would you all then set it for .03/more/less? I use sharebuilder and I'm not sure how quick they exucute the orders. TIA
Approved? If you are looking for newly listed on the otc you go here each day - do it in the afternoon - and click on "view" to see any new listings:
http://www.otcbb.com/AllDailyList/
or u can try here:
http://www.otcmarkets.com/marketActivity/venue-changes
Where can you find a list of newly approved companies listed on the OTC index? In other words, can you find them before they start trading or right as they have been approved? TIA
When you see the actual trade printed you will know if it was at the ask or bid by the price.
Gezz thanks. I thought it was showing buys at the ask and bid. Learning.
I think you have it set so that you are seeing all three. So they are showing you what the ask, bid, and the actual trades are. When I use time and sales (and I actually use it in Market Trader because I like it better) I only have it set to show the actual trades. So in Time/Sales in Pro go to that arrow on the right - it is a pull down menu and chose Settings. Under the Settings tab toggle Trades Only. This way when you want to see actual trades you can see the size, time, etc of the actual trades. I think that is what you are looking for. If you keep it where all three are showing, it will show the ask or bid every time it changes along with the trades. I personally don't need to see that so I just set it to "trades only".
I understand bid is when you buy at bid price, and ask is when you slap the ask in effort to raise the PPS, but what is a trade? I hope I don't sound too ignorant.
Understand items in a Time & Sales window You can use the Time & Sales window to view the activity of a selected security for a specified time period. The window displays the following information:
Symbol: The symbol of the security
Indicator: The type of event or transaction
* B = Bid
* A = Ask
* T = Trade
E*TRADE PRO L2 question:
I'm new at using L2 and I have lots of questions, but one at a time.
In the time and sales window under the indicator bar a Alfa character (A,B,and T)is displayed with the sale of a stock. I assume the A= ask, B= bid, but I’m not sure what T stands for.
Anything to help a fellow trader in the stock markets.
Just wait for an ipo announcement, I'm sure there will be one soon. Just wait for it so as you can have a stock market investment.
Glad you enjoyed the posts here in the forums. I hope you learn more from your stock market investments here!
To make life simpler if your buying shares, if you want something , buy it in ask. Stock market investment should make your life simpler.
Yes, these days, stock market investment execution is somewhat choppy compared to before.
