    Leverage Trick

    Not sure what you mean by the "not applying interest on leverage" part. Ignoring interest-free (Muslim) accounts, a forex dealer will always apply interest debit and credit to the 2 sides of the actual trade - whatever its leverage, if any. Take a closer look at the detailed explanation by...

    Leverage Trick

    The dealer benefits from greater income from spreads and/or commissions. Oh, and higher leverage - but only if you choose to bite - dramatically raises the odds that your $1K will somehow find a way to escape your account's Pluto-weak gravitational field, never to be seen again. :D

    Usd/cad

    It sure does. Are you going to add to your long from 1.1225, if you still have that on?

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    Expected to be 60/40, in line with the established favorable tax treatment of spot forex (subject to the usual internal self-election out of IRC 988). "Expected" because spot metals have been available on Oanda only since last March. Also useful to know that the only tax document you and the...

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    RM, it's much more than 7%. Right now, it would cost you 5.875% x 10 = 58.75% APR. Here 5.375% - (-0.5%) = 5.875% is the net debit of an XAU/USD long, per each 1:1 unit of leverage. If you were short instead, you'd receive credit of 4.825% - 0.5% = 4.325% per each unit of leverage. Whether...

    The small account catch 22...which market?

    Let me second riskarb's Oanda recommendation. Besides currencies, you might want to take a close look at spot gold and silver there. Unlike futures, you can choose your own trade size, 1 oz. and up, and therefore set your own tick value to as little as $0.01. That means - no such thing as a...

    Total number of registered websites ?

    92,615,362. That's according to the latest monthly survey from one credible source, and growing by a few % every month. About half of them are active, not merely parked. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/web_server_survey.html

    Desk top display is gone

    Good idea, GTS. CO, also, typing "control" should bring up the full control panel. Or from the Task Manager, under File - New Task (Run) menu.

    Desk top display is gone

    Have you restarted Windows in one of the Safe Modes? If that doesn't help, bypass the OS altogether. Many ways to do it... I'd recommend you go with BartPE bootable CD. A lifesaver, powerful yet user-friendly. In this case, you'll need to make it on another Win XP or 2K PC, of course...

    Is this slippage or what!

    You can't. It is indeed a user option in TWS, but not for IDEALPro.

    Should I queue for execution?

    Right, you are not going to get filled that way much of the time, because of the different / opposite way that IB IDEALPro is programmed to handle stop and stop limit orders. In a nutshell, it's double bid for long, double ask for short. If you've cut your teeth on almost any other retail forex...

    $1,000,000 in 3 Months

    Absolutely. From $10,000 to $1,147,607, or +11,276%, in 12 months, to be exact. He was up as high as $2,042,967 (+20,230%) by the end of September of that year (1987), before giving up nearly half of those gains over the last 3 months. Still, a most inspiring performance record, yet to be...

    How many pips before a sellout?

    There's no single answer, because different forex dealers employ different (sometimes drastically so) margin call rules. You really need to find out what rules YOUR dealer has in place. If they are not posted, have an online chat with customer service and go over a specific, numerical example...

    Is this slippage or what!

    Huh? Can't tell whether you're being a wise guy or serious. In case you're serious: it's exactly the opposite, of course. At the risk of stating the obvious: if you go long a stock at $25, no leverage, no stop, and it goes to 0 over time - which has happened countless times, even for US...

    Snakes on a Plane

    Relax... even the always hard-to-please (female) film critic for the New York Times had high praise: "a solid, B-movie-style entertainment" "The film’s producers originally conceived “Snakes on a Plane” as a PG-13 release, but encouraged by the enthusiasm of an Internet fan base...

    The Science of Trading. Free Money!

    US Treasury bills (and notes or bonds held to maturity) would be considered as risk-free as it gets. Bank CDs with top-tier banks - nearly so. Regardless of the amount at stake or FDIC limits. By contrast, you'll have a hard time convincing any rational institutional or HNW investor that...

    Broker For Scalping Found !!!!!!!

    Please tell me you're kidding, right?... How about just a few red flags: 1. Where's the contact info? What country are they in? 2. Domain just created on March 21, 2006 through GoDaddy... details completely hidden behind "Domains by Proxy, Inc." That's reassuring. 3. No NFA ID...
