    RM's occasional market calls...

    UVXY is a horrible instrument. Just buying index puts makes much more sense. Plus some calls too, if you want to hedge.

    Interactive Brokers Charting Poll

    m3, can you show a setup of Multicharts with 12 different contracts/stocks on the same screen?

    Interactive Brokers Charting Poll

    QUOTETRACKER. Kill them. Why keep wasting money on something totally useless? TWS charts are ugly, slow and awkward. The least you could do is move the charts to a different program/module, so they don't waste my computer resources. The best you could do is improve and maintain...

    Global Macro Trading Journal

    I hope you would continue here. This has been one of the few interesting threads remaining on ET, very much thanks to you. Just ignore the idiots.

    Best Country for Trading (Tax efficiency)

    What exactly makes you Americans think you are still living in the best country on earth? As a non-American I just don't see what is so special about the US. However, I can see many disadvantages.

    InteractiveBrokers "hyper-hypothecates" $14.5b of Customer Funds?

    Tell us more about Crossland. Never heard about them before. How do they compare with IB in comms, worldwide reach and trading platform?

    InteractiveBrokers "hyper-hypothecates" $14.5b of Customer Funds?

    Exactly. It's just stupid to trust the SIPC, or any other insurance scheme for that matter. When the shit really hits the fan, nobody is going to have enough money to pay for all the damages.

    InteractiveBrokers "hyper-hypothecates" $14.5b of Customer Funds?

    This is a complete non-answer, even typical misleading PR bullshit. The question is about re-hyposhitwhatever, not about margin or stock lending. You better come up with an accurate answer, and fast. BTW, where is client cash invested? Is IB paying any interest? I want my cash balances...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    All IB futures still working here as well as always. Sounds like you have something wrong with your installation. Thanks for the guy who posted the patch. Haven't tried it yet, but good to know it's here if I need it. QT is number one! Sure hope a way would be found to maintain it. Or else...

    IB to increase silver margin to "scary" levels

    Why are they so bloody late??? Always the same thing. IB (as well as the exchanges) should have increased the margins on the way up, not after the crash. This is just another case of closing the barn door after the horse has escaped. IB is partially responsible for this silver bubble by...

    Why does Interactive Brokers mostly ignore their own Future Poll?

    Yeah, fuck these new features. I stopped even reading about all the "what's new" stuff long ago. Instead, I want, and know many agree, an as-simple-as-possible interface without ANY fancy features. Also, the forced upgrades are a pain. Just let us use an old version that is PROVEN TO WORK...

    Wikileaks Thread

    Thanks for the video. Excellent documentary indeed. Made by the Swedish public television, btw. Quite disturbing pieces about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sure makes one hate the US military, and by extension the whole government. I'm even more convinced that my decision to support...

    Over 1 million in capital to trade with???

    Sorry but real estate is a very important 'product group', in fact the most important. So it does count. But this thread is the wrong place for an inflation debate. Or for the IB debate. So back to topic, please.

    Over 1 million in capital to trade with???

    I was very long gold and silver for a while. No more. Stupid beginners like you must blow up first, then I can buy again. You are 100% wrong about inflation. There is no inflation now, and will be no inflation for at least a decade. The US$ is my biggest long for next year, most likely all of...

    Over 1 million in capital to trade with???

    Don't care if you have a $million or ten, but you sure seem to be on your way to losing most of it. It appears you're just a lucky momo-amateur who has happened to be on the right side of a big trend. I'd bet you will lose at least half of your money within the next year. The only hope is you...
