Sorry, not the board for this. It is not a stock picking thread.
Sorry, I think this is the wrong site to post this.
At the top of the page, where it says, "Data Tools" there is "Charts." I haven't been able to see any data in Charts, for awhile.
Thanks
I don't think you can use private reply when you are a free member.
See? I told you she was good. Lol.
thanks cintrix for some reason i cant do private reply lol. but yeah i will def be careful with those from now on and i will talk to my broker cause it was a day trade but it was cancelled during the same day. anyway Thanks and GL.
Ok, what you need to know is this: Just because a stock hit your price order, that doesn't guarantee you a fill. That goes with a buy or a sell. That is why paper trading is a joke. Anyone could paper trade because they are assuming that they are getting the fill at the price they wanted. In real life that doesn't always happen. Finding a stock at the right price and selling it at the right price is not the only task. Getting the execution could be even harder depending on the way a stock trades. Especially with thinly traded stocks as you mentioned.
As far as the trade getting canceled, was it canceled mid day or at the end of the trading day? If it canceled the end of the trading day I would guess that even though you thought you entered a gtc, you may have mistakenly entered a DAY order. If it canceled midday, I would get on the phone with your broker and ask them what the heck is going on. Unless the stock was halted or went into the grey sheets I see no reason why they would do that.
alright thanks man you too
Well, just be careful with low volume stocks. Cintrix would probably be the best person to guide you in the right direction. She is the Master with these types of trades. GL & have a great weekend.
im kinda new maybe only 50 trades. im just concerned about these low volume stocks especially if I can't sell when I want.
Have you traded a lot of penny stocks in the past?
Who's your broker?
The .10 stock, I agree with that not being filled, however a GTC order being canceled for no reason is an issue. Please don't tell me your broker is TDAmeriturd.
I've placed a limit order at .10 for a stock with 14,000 volume and it never executed when .10 was hit. I also placed a sell order at 1.93 for a stock with similar volume which also didn't get executed and actually got cancelled for no reason even tho it was gtc. Should I just stay away from these stocks with low volumes? How can I be sure my orders get executed? Is this my brokers fault or not?

Has anyone heard of a proptrietary equity trading company by the name of Onyx Equity Traders. They primarly specialize in options trading. I was wondering if anyone has an opinion about the firm.
TIA
did you ever get any help with this?
i found this:

i'm just setting up my EF account with come cash ready to hit the news filters for some quick flipping. i used EF years ago and it was awesome. looking for some updated screening material though.
will my ask bid be honored due to the fact that my ask bid was correct at the time of my order being placed or do I need to raise it when it changes.
Not sure what you mean "correct" - there may have been ten other people putting in an order at that price at the same time and maybe ten more who put it in a tick higher to make sure they get filled. The mm only has to fill you at the current ask. If they have shares they want to get rid of below the ask then you may get filled. Depending on the supply and how fast or slow it is moving.
Also, how does the bid/ask change premarket if there's no trading them then?
If a stock comes out with good news premarket they usually always uptick it in anticipation. Sometimes it will uptick and then crash because either retail or the company sells into it. Sometimes the opposite happens - they uptick it premarket and there is a buying frenzy and it keeps moving tick by tick.
Newbie question.....
If I put a bid in at the ask for a pink sheet stock premarket (yes I know there not traded in pre/post market) and then the ask rises past my ask bid, will my ask bid be honored due to the fact that my ask bid was correct at the time of my order being placed or do I need to raise it when it changes. Also, how does the bid/ask change premarket if there's no trading them then????.....TIA
It looks like you are to be cashed out @ 17.25/share. I suggest that you call these people & explain your situation to them

Have the Consolidated Thompson Ming shares been exchanged for Cliff Mining shares in your account and on which exchange do the Cliff Mining shares trade?
EDIT:
It looks like the correct name of the acquiring company is Cliffs Natural Resources & it trades on the NYSE as CLF. You should have been paid out it appears.
Cliffs indirectly acquired all of the outstanding shares of Consolidated Thompson for C$17.25 per share pursuant to a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canadian Business Corporations Act. Consolidated Thompson is now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Cliffs Natural Resources, and will be rebranded under the Cliffs name. The Consolidated Thompson common shares are expected to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) following the close of business on May 13, 2011.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to sell QUINTO MINING shares that were on VSE got taken over by Consolidated Thompson Ming (CLM) on the TSE and now has been taken over by Cliff Mining?
Etrade Iphone? Or did you mean Etrade app?
I have the etrade iphone and ihub application which is GREAT!
I never leave home without my iPhone. With a td account, you can see trades in real time. Both td, my broker, and ihub have apps.. Good luck
I have no idea what you are referring to. Is this something your broker is using? Are you see it only from your broker or are you referring to it being used elsewhere? If it is from your broker I would look it up or call them. The ticker you posted is now trading under UWRLD which means it is trading post reverse split. If it is showing up with your broker my guess would be that they haven't yet received the post reverse split shares and the # sign is an indication of this. It reversed on 6/27.
#uwrl what does # sign mean scottrade
what does the # sign mean when placed on a stock uwrl#
I don't know of any site that tells you accurately if something was a buy or a sell.
Is there any other way(or other site) to see more accurate trading?

Thanks. I'll check it out.
They are good too but they charge more than choicetrade for each transaction. Aren't they about $9.99? Choicetrade is 5.00 a trade. The only thing they charge extra on is if the lot exceeds 500k.
I am pretty happy with TD Ameritrade.
Please post questions regarding Ihub site here:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=504
Try choicetrade.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for a good trading platform to use? I currently use Sharebuilder but they charge $9.95 per trade and $.007 per share to trade stocks under $1.00. I don't usually have more than 10 trades in a month so I don't need anything crazy.
You really can't tell that for sure. Ihub quotes have a "TRADES" tab that lists the volume by buys/sells but I am not a fan of it because it really isn't accurate. It assumes transactions on the bid are sells and transactions on the ask are buys and we all know that isn't always the case. Here is how they describe how it works:
The 'Buy', 'Sell' and '?' columns - Where the 'Price' is closest to the 'Offer' price, the trade is considered a 'Buy'. Where it is closest to the 'Bid' price, the trade is considered to be a 'Sell'. Where it is dead centre between 'Bid' and 'Offer', it appears in the '?' column; this indicates that the trade cannot be identified as either a 'Buy' or a 'Sell'.
Here is an example to look at:

once my restriction is over will I be able to sell a stock and buy another in the same day, as long as I was in the first stock more than three days and stay in the new for at least three days?
It depends on how much you have in your account. I think you are getting confused about how many days vs unsettled funds. If you sell a stock and don't have any other funds in your account other than the proceeds from that sale, then you are using unsettled funds to purchase your new stock. If that is the case, they will allow you to buy another stock with that money but you can't sell the new one until the sale of the one you sold is settled. But if you have excess cash - say you have 10k in your account after selling a position that had proceeds of say 8k. Then only 8k of that money is unsettled - you would still have 2k available to buy something with and sell it in the same day - because that 2k were settled funds.
Now, another poster mentioned a margin account. If you changed your cash account to a margin account you would not have to worry about T+3 (settlement). You don't even have to use margin in order to have a margin account. But it allows you to use unsettled funds for trading while a cash account doesn't. But one thing you need to know with a margin account is that if you have under 25k in your account they track your daytrading and you can't day trade four or more times in five business days. If you do and your account is under 25k they will put a restriction on your account. If you are a pattern daytrader and have over 25k you don't need to worry about anything.
How would I be able to tell buyer volumes vs. seller volumes in a particular stock?
I have a TD-Ameritrade account with a L2.
Thanks for this board!
you should look into a margin account, most traders that I know have them. Check with your broker about their requirements, depending on your trading you may be able to get a margin account for as little as $2500. equity.
Jk6672, I'm no expert. I have Scottrade "cash" account and have sold one stock and used the same funds to buy a second stock in the same day. As long as you don't sell within 3 days, your ok.
I understand that to do what you want to do you will need to have enough cash in your account to cover the new purchase/sale.
If I am wrong, please correct me.
Hope that helps, and doesn't confuse the situation.

I have a cash account and currently I am on a 90 day restriction for another 60 days. Apparently I committed a violation by selling one stock, buying another and selling that one all in the same day. I understand the three day settlement rule now, but my question is once my restriction is over will I be able to sell a stock and buy another in the same day, as long as I was in the first stock more than three days and stay in the new for at least three days? What type of account do investors have that allow them to make round trips multiple times a day?
I apologise. I stupidly thought I was on that board......
Ever since I typed that, now I can't get a song out of my head, by AC/DC.......Who made Who?......Crazy.....Thanks.
