I've been using Scottrade Elite in Virtual mode and I keep getting a lag between my orders being sent and executed. About 5-8 seconds. Those few seconds easily mean the difference of hundreds to thousands of dollars being made or lost. I use my university's connection so I know the ISP isn't a issue, easily 100MB downloads. I just want to know if anyone here uses the ScottradeElite platform and notices a lag.
Hey guys,
I've wanted to start putting money in stocks for ages and been trying to read up on lots of stuff about it. What's the best tips you could give me? What is a good broker app to use? I have a normal job I'm not loaded or anything is investing in stocks more for the richer people? Can only invest like £25/£100 a month would that be enough to start my investment portfolio and be successful? Thanks for any help and advise you guys give me.
monster rippage in the vix today ... it has been a while since we have seen anything like this on the downside in the indices ... you don't need me to tell you how this has been extremely long overdue...
and figures the one week where i decide to completely take a break from the markets (trading/following/etc) that's the week we experience our largest selloff all year.......
will this just be another one day phenomenon and back to the upside and new highs we go in the weeks to follow? or could we actually see some follow through to the downside after today? it has been far too long since we have seen anything lasting more than a day or a few...
