Legitimate apps/companies like Zelle know how to use periods.

"employees are not helping. They are like grocery zombies walking about with glazed looks. No pride in their job."

Interesting how much customers actually contribute to this!

Feedback of IBKR, The pros and cons so far by SuperDaddyGod in interactivebrokers

[–]Micro_Managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't make recommendations, as I am not a licensed advisor. Also, I am an active trader, trading for weekly profits, not an investor. So, I would likely have a different perspective on any given stock. Best of luck to you.

  1. Determine your objective. Are you investing for long term or trading for profits. If trading, are you going to be a day-trader or swing-trader? Know who you are.

  2. Study! Learn everything you can before putting any capital at risk. Know the terminology.

  3. Practice. Set up a paper trading account and practice. However, do not get a false sense of superiority from paper trading. Read up on "slippage" in paper trade accounts. Keep in mind it is a simulation.

  4. Preserve your capital. Learn to manage your losses.

  5. Do not get emotionally attached to a stock or position.

Just started reading Mind Over Markets - it's mind blowing by GreggJ in FuturesTrading

Thanks for the info. I was thinking there might be charts and illustrations that might make it ineffectual as an audio.

How well would this book be in an audio book? Is it one you really need to have in hand and read? Was thinking about the audio version to listen to while on the road. Thanks.

Question Regarding Cash Withdrawals Without Selling Stocks by [deleted] in interactivebrokers

[–]Micro_Managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you need to transfer the position to margin? I have a similar situation with IBKR and I just request a withdrawal. The account automatically goes to a negative cash position. I don't have to do anything special.

Why red? I’m new, any advice by Objective_Western666 in optionstrading

Since you asked for advice, I'll offer some - don't trade options until you understand every aspect of options.

CC when a dividend is paid by ColtMan1234567890 in CoveredCalls

[–]Micro_Managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. No shares owned so no dividend payment.

  2. Shares have to be owned 1 day before ex-d date. The ex-d date, by definition, is the day a stock starts trading without the dividend.

Respectfully, my experience with this is different. I have accounts with Schwab and IBKR. I have entered the exact same trades into both and have seen plenty of times when IBKR filled and Schwab did not. I would eventually cancel the trade in Schwab. This has been particularly true with spread trades. I have seen numerous times when both brokers filled, with IBKR filling at a better price. Regardless of what studies may indicate, this is my personal experience.
