    Address bar: "Open IME"

    Make that 87,000 divided by, what, 3, 4, 5... Also, your thread has only had 50-some views, and that's already after your 2nd post. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/downloads/recommended/ime/default.mspx In a nutshell, the Global IME allows you to switch among languages and enter...

    Long-Term Currency Trades

    No. Not given the way the OP has described what he is looking for. His target margin:equity ratio is 1:100, in a separate forex account "to buy and hold fx" such that he can "minimize the cash used" and "[not] have much cash tied up." His overall portfolio NAV is irrelevant to the forex...

    Long-Term Currency Trades

    Bad, fatally flawed plan. Not doable, and efficiency, as you've described it, would be the least of your concerns. You can't just "buy and hold FX" at 100x leverage, period. Or even 10x. If that isn't obvious... when was the last time you pulled up a plain EUR/USD daily or longer chart?

    anyone else in here spot the bs in this article?

    The Times didn't print it... someone must have run a search. If you search nytimes.com for, say, "Newfoundland Energy", that Reuters story from 1986 pops up as #6 out of 117 results, using the default sort order, by closest match.

    Superb Forex Trading Returns

    Actually, yes. A "complicated" neural network, developed and optimized in C++ (rather than MQL4), combining "three independent subsystems" and utilizing sets of moving averages, of all things. Here's an interview with the EA developer, dated Nov. 20...

    $52k gone from my IB account. What next, sue IB?

    Seems that way. I believe the answer to your implied "just wondering" question is pretty clear (a resounding "No"), based on the content of the very first post by zzzap in this thread on 10-23-07.

    Citi to enter retail market

    How about... gee, I dunno... none of the above. Those are not the available options for retail forex, as you know very well. What a meaningless question to ask, especially for someone in your position.

    Forex Day Traders: How many pips?

    Well, he did say "glean," heh. glean -verb (used with object) 1. to gather slowly and laboriously, bit by bit. ... Of course, the poll categories are absurd. Asking how many forex day traders glean 50 / 100 / 200+ pips a day, on average, is roughly the same as asking how many ES day...

    U.S. taxes on trading foreign stocks

    US citizens are subject to US income tax on their worldwide income from all sources. Where you, er, you friend, are, what country's stocks you trade and through whom, are all moot points. There is no special "handling" involved in this case. Any tax accountant or tax prep software can...

    Trading System up on eBay

    His total feedback may be +2, -1 out of 3 transactions = 66.7% positive, but his feedback as a SELLER is -1 out of 1 transaction = 0% positive so far. That doesn't exactly help, from a prospective buyer's perspective. For obvious reasons, it's a hell of a lot easier to earn positive feedback...
