    I just opened my first account and am using sogotrade. the charts are a joke unless I'm missing something but I think this is all they give me is a line chart with volume that takes 'at least 15 mins to update'. They're suposidly coming out with a new program but i'm not sure what will be included. They have an extensive program but you have to have 100K in account to get.


    Any recommendations for a cheap standalone programs to get level 2, red and green candle sticks, draw support lines, and plug ins like moving averages Fibonacci etc etc?

    Default standalone program for charts and Level 2?

    I didn't think you wanted any of that stuff yet? All you're buying is QQQ and BABA for long-term right? None of that other crap matters then. I recommended cheap brokers because you didn't need that stuff, but if you really do, then Etrade or Ameritrade offers it in their platforms but the trades cost just a tad more. Pay for what you get. I just thought you wanted simple, although I did say you could upgrade to better broker when you're ready. It's not like you'll be day-trading yet.

    I might have thrown it in there that I might do a day trade I can't resist here and there. It's also to sort of paper trade by watching 1-15 min chart and Level 2. But someone suggested http://www.freestockcharts.com/has all the bells and whistles too.


    And when it IPOs Friday, I'm going all in on BABA, no QQQ for now, and more than the $1,600 or something I said I was starting with, I have faith in BABA.

    Hello Trakwu222. I have to say: I am very concerned when you say you are going "all in on BABA." Please don't do that. I'm begging you. It's a great way to lose a LOT of money, and I would hate to see that. Look at the facebook IPO. People went all in on that, and (assuming they held on) it took of them over a year just to get back to break even. Please be very, very careful. I am not trying to be bossy or tell you what to do, honestly; I say this because I care. Trading IPOs is not for the faint of heart, or (dare I say it?) for people who've never traded before.
    Just my opinion. Be careful, please.
