A true Pro. More experience that most 'Twitter Traders'
"Shouldn't be wasting his time on Twitter and and his blog, but I'm so thankful he does. Anyone who has been in the business as long as he has is someone to follow. Although he has sworn to blog and t Read more...

Convenient App for the Best Brokerage
"Powerful web application for the best brokerage out there. Nothing is superior to Interactive Brokers and although it can be buggy at times, TWS is extremely convenient and easy to use for many aspects of my own personal trading.
