@thesaint_incanada Thanx for the update. I renewed for a 2nd year. I am finally getting better I think at seeing the patterns ... but mental control still needs improvement.

@Slayer Hey buddy...looks like my subscription with Sykes is done now, but they seem to be allowing me to log in still. Just not in the chat room. Just in case I can't get back in again, best of luck in the new year to you. I can still be reached at my email using darcykarpol at gmail. I am taking a short hiatus to clear my head and hopefully get back into this in January.

@thesaint_incanada Thanx. Yes DR-tsx had everything I look for and I found it soon enough for once. LOL.

@thesaint_incanada Darcy, I opened an I.B. account. Did about 4 trades (back in early June). Total commissions for a round trip ranged from $2.01 to $20.32 (DRYS when it was under $1.00 per share). Plus I learned I have to pay for access to some real time things. So it cost approx. $15/mth. for what I selected.

@Slayer Wow...hope for a full recovery. I thought your subscription ended. Summer trading is pretty slow now...I am just reviewing my processes and not trading much at all. Had a pretty bad down month in June, so I am not in any hurry to lose more. Anyways, glad you are back.

@thesaint_incanada Hey Darcy, I was away for about 6 weeks due to I happened to be lucky enough, LOL, to get a detached retina in one eye. So after a quick surgery and weeks for the sight to mostly come back in the the eye I am back now. I had put my subscription on hold as I could not see my computer monitors very well.

@Slayer Hey Stan...are you still around? Haven't heard from you in a while.

@thesaint_incanada I used them about 8 years ago. They advertised low commissions. But I know many who got really high expenses because of the ECN fees that got added. And we never knew before hand if their would be extra fees. I know some one who did a trade of 100 shares of a stock with a price under $10 as I recall and had a commission of ~ $107!! I do not use them anymore.

@Slayer Hey Stan...have you looked at Questrade? Commissions look good. I am going to try their demo platform and see how it looks. Nice trades today bud.

@thesaint_incanada Good luck. I played with IB's Demo last night. They want a minimum $10K U.S. or equivalent (~$13,377 CDN.). I am wondering about opening a CDN. $ so I can short better the TSX & TSXV. And a U.S.$ account.
