  • freetrade

    Stenz-
    I've been using freetrade for sometime now. It's pretty good and the execution is decent, I think it's the same as ameritrade. I just use limit orders for everything. They also have ach deposit and withdrawl, which is nice. I've never had trouble shorting anything as well. The only downside (which i think is anywhere), is this... If you make more than 4 trades in 5 days they label you a "pattern daytrader" and want you to keep $25G in the account. ...

      Is that 4 trades or 4 buy and sells?

        Stenz,
        To be honest, the only time I've ever had a problem, I e-mailed them and got a response within 10 minutes...maybe even faster than I would have calling someone on the phone. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed. I've managed to avoid being labeled a "pattern day trader"

        Moemaynard,
        All accounts are margin accounts...and you can trade anything you want. Although, there are commissions for options. Only stocks are free/really cheap. I'm not 100% sure about how the trading works, I don't trade that often or really have all that much money to trade, but I'm sure if you e-mailed them, they'd give you a quick response. Like I said, I've been more than happy with communicating via e-mail and having everything automated online...especially after I save $100 a month in comissions

          Long time, no hear?

          Stenz,

          Miss you on the Yahoo CRIO post. Looks like you've been busy! Do you still keep an eye on CRIO? I'm stubborn and still stuck waiting for a rebound. Broke my own rule and did not set a stop. Anyway, can you save me some time and point me to your latest screen results?

          Best regards,

          • The email I got said 4 trades in 5 days. So I assume a buy and sell is 2 trades...[/quote]

I just ran a screen comperable to yours and PRFT comes up 4th on the list I like this stock and especially under $4 I have a buy at 3.85 but think that is wishfull thinking, however it is flirting with $4 which I think is a possible support level from this week's actions.

              Rumaging through the stocks that have turned up I must say that this is the only one that trips any triggers off hand.
              I'm just waiting for a good opportunity or something. I don't mind sitting on a little bit of cash for a few days.

              PRFT does look good, mostly. The one thing that's bothering me, and I mentioned it here before, is the guidance. If you check PRFT at MoneyCentral and click on "Key Developments" and compare recent guidance to the past years results, it looks like they're guiding for negative growth for the next year. If someone here will clear up my misunderstanding, if that's what it is, then I'd be looking to buy some. If not, good luck.

              • I took a vacation day last Friday because the school had a day off.
                Apparently, I bought some SNCI for $9.50, while I was in the attic wiring up a new ceiling fan.

                      I placed a limit order where I thought there should be some support, around the 20 day moving average, and it executed.

                            Hehe, I don't know if I necessarily would, but in the interest of driving up prices, I say you should buy as much as you can.

                              Since I think it will go to $6 to $8 in the next three to six months, I'd have to say yes.

                                obkb...I got in at 3.88.

                                I've been watching this stock for awhile now and didn't pull the trigger at 3.5...my fault. Let's see how it reacts to the big 4.0
