Etrade Account Question

[jackal]

I bought a stock at $95 a share. I want to sell it when it hits $90 or $100 (Lose or Make $5 per share either way).

I can only put a stop limit on one end and not both. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any help would be great.

Doesn't etrade have that on their system? I would call them up and ask them. You do know that e-trade has been hit hard financially here of late? They had to get a cash infusion of $2.5 billion.

Stop LOSS @ 90 LIMIT @ 100 to sell

THanks Josh. I was on the trading page and did not see anything for a STOP LOSS. I emailed etrade and will await their answer.

Do you daytrade? Or Swingtrade?

And what service do you use?

etrade vs Scottrade

Hey Monte and J!

ETrade's financial sector is looking to be bought out as they truly f-ed up jumping into the sub-prime juice market just prior to the fall!

There brokerage portion is still in outstanding shape from what I have read but the market cares not as they take the total losses from the S.P. Market area.

I have Scottrade and so far have had no problems.

They also have a nice short pull down menu for LIMIT sales on both top and bottom.

I like this site Monte and will try and help get it some more action as the market will be a real money maker her this coming year!
