Do you have any stocks in mind ? I can find out if they are shortable at TS.

Write a How-To book and go give seminars on Option Trading. The title of the book could be "How I paid off my college tution with Option Trading". If your Lehman Option pays off too, you can write another book, "How a high school teenage bought his Porsche from Option Trading Profits"...

Her chatroom is pretty good for trading Futures. Linda has an uncanny ability to interpret market action.

Thx for helping me think it through. :D

This recent turn of discussion to Arbing the price differential is getting interesting. It seems that there are 2 rules that are relevant to trying to Arb between two different fx firms. The first rule is that an open position at one fx firm is non-tranferrable to another fx firm. This is...

Came across a PDF on US Treasury & Federal Reserve FX Operations. Information was release today at 4pm ET. Boring stuff to traders but Economists eats this stuff up. :D

Thanks. :)

I found another event that is playable on FX. After the dismal first day results in the Treasury Refunding, I shorted the USD on the 7 major pairs. I figure that if we don't want US debt, why would other countries want them. Working under the assumption that there would be no increased...

It's a different game but you can carry over some of your trading experience. So you don't have to start from scratch. I started this month with a Demo account for $50,000 and now it is $56,000. A 12% return so far this month. I will attach a picture of the account since it is only a...

saschabr, Can they play this dirty trick ? For example, if I had a stop loss on a long position. Can they drop the bid and trigger my stop loss and then move the bid back up since they have such a wide spread ? Or are there safeguard regulations in place so they can't do that ? :confused:

After FXCM chat, I was also intrigued with trading FX spot market. I opened a demo trading account with RefcoFX instead of FXCM because they have have a monthly contest for the Demo account holders and the winner get $2,500 (real money) if they can come in at first place. Refco's Order...

small, I couldn't find pricing information on their website. How much is Idealink ? TIA

How do you connect to this chatroom with mIRC ?

I'm also looking for a data feed provider. 1) Do Qcharts provide historical end-of-day data and intraday tick data ? 2) Do they also provide historical Time & Sales data ? 3) How many times in the past 12 months have you experienced downtime from server or network failure ? And if...

I agree. Jannette is top-notch at TradeStation. She goes that extra mile to try to help TS members. However, most of the other ppl that I dealt with there were not the same caliber as her. They should have a management restructuring and promote Jannette to take the lead. The Software...

Hold the Shift Key when you open TS. This will disable the workspace from opening at the startup.

My level of frustation with TradeStation has risen to the point where I am now in full research mode on looking for an alternative product. It seems like I will have to create a piecemeal solution since TradeStation is both a charting software, a datafeed vendor and a broker. For per share...

Is there a website that provides historical monthly, quarterly, and YTD total return calculation for DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 index ? S&P 500 gained 15.4263% in the second qtr. It would be interesting to see when was the last time S&P 500 gained by this similiar percentage and what ensued...

Has anyone used Traderbrain.com service ? What has been your experience with them ? I'm thinking of joining their membership but I'm hesistant on giving them my credit card number since I have not heard of them before. TIA

Is anyone having trouble executing trades today ? The trade server seems to be offline and I can't get through on the phone to place orders to close out of open positions. If you are able to get through to the trading desk, please post the phone number that you used. TIA
