I cant seem to get the graphs to display right. It display today activity from 9:30-4pm and not from 9:30-9:45.

yes - and its making me very angry

Posted by yes on :

Yup, it's showing yesterday's trades on the Quote Montage, then today's on top of it. If you close it and reopen, you get back yesterday's trades and lose today's..

Posted by TheBundo on :

Dear MicrocapTrade Users,

We are having some small system technical difficulties this morning. We greatly apologize for this. Our programmers are working furiously on this and will have everything resolved in a few minutes. You will need to close the entire system and log-in once again in order to view the properly working platform.

Thank you for your understanding.

You're not alone..I've seen at least 3 or 4 people on this board that switched to Choicetrade or Freetrades because of Lowtrades problems..

Posted by Marty on :

They're probably rebooting the system....

Posted by jugiproject on :

hm otccharts said they fixed the problem , however the site isnt working for me now. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Posted by KiddyCat on :

Phoenix, do you know if freetrade and choicetrade let you have immediate access to your funds? In other words does it let you trade in and out as many times in a day as you want?

with lowtrades, you have to wait untill next day b4 you can make another round-trip trade.

Posted by KiddyCat on :

they probably resetting/updating thier servers, i cant get on either. Usually reseting usually takes like 10-15 min.

I dont know exactly. I've heard people claim that choicetrade lets you trade in a cash account as many times as you want. How do they get around the free-ride rule though? I meant to call them back and ask the guy what he found out in answer to that very question. I dont know much about Freetrades except that you need $5000 and 2 years of stock trading experience before you can use them.

k, thanks, was wonder'n the same thing too

If you don't use margin, the free ride, as you call it, doesn't apply. Cash trades do not need to wait 3 days to settle.

I know, used to be a broker.

Uhh, I thought you *had to have* a margin account to stop free rides from occurring. With a Scottrade cash account, If I buy $1000 of Stock A on Monday, sell it Monday, buy $1000 of stock B on Monday, sell it Monday, I get my money back. But if I dont deposit funds to cover Stock A's sell BEFORE THURSDAY, I've committed a free-ride violation. How does Choicetrade get around doing that?

EDIT: With a Scottrade margin account, I can trade as many times as I want without worrying about free rides, and always get my money back after each trade. But if I make more than 3 round trip trades in 4 business days, they classify you as a daytrader and you have to deposit $25,000 or you lose your margin account and have to go back to cash.
