    Trading FROM offshore

    I think tntneo pretty much answered your question. It is your responsibility to file for taxes - you're right, it is probably too complex for international auditing by tax authorities, unless it is a suspiciously large amount of money. It is the same here in the UK, although I must admit I do...

    I live in the UK and only trade US markets using US based brokers, as a for instance.

    Trading FROM offshore

    Is really the only form you need to fill in. Your broker will give you this (available as standard online with IB). It also allows you to enter the country you will be residing to take advantage of any double tax treaties the USA has with them. There are many and basically it stops you...

    "#5 Down This is the one that looks like a nightmare with NQ and ES. Those babies like to crank down!" But that is fine - at least it goes somewhere. I find it is the slow eradication of capital induced by 2-4 that really is the problem. Vampires feeding on you, but keeping you...

    A Quick Question

    The eminis are a very tough market in my opinion. No technical analysis gives you the edge here because everyone uses it. Chart pattern targets often fall short and, more importantly, it is here that you truly see that the market has 5 different trends not 3 as most think (up, down, sideways)...

    Tradestation

    If you were a previous customer then you can get it for $99/mo. I have Tradestation 2000i. But it is those who bought the cheaper Supercharts that have got the best deal out of this! Perhaps you can buy one 2nd hand & take their user ID as well? Alternatively - and I am thinking about...

    Tradestation

    Probably the simple answer is to (eg for RSI) plot 2 RSI indicators on top of each other. Instead of the CLOSE plot one with the HIGH and plot the other with the LOW. Then you can see if your signal levels are hit intra-bar. Alternatively the following converted indicator code should plot the...

    Tradestation

    That is in easylanguage. You have your indicator up as an easylanguage window then you click properties - chart style. Look. Email me the code for your indicator (export it first to .ela) and if it is not a big job I will convert to what I am saying. If it is a standard TS indicator...

    Tradestation

    I am not sure what you mean. However it may be a similar problem to what I have had recently. I like to plot the premium that the emini has against the cash S&P500. However if you think about it they both vary tick to tick and you cannot combine one tick chart with another in TS6. So I would...

    IB Charging quote fees now?

    I have a futures account with IB. Luckily I only trade globex so no big deal. However I was going to move my stock account to them in the next few days. Not on $127 +++ per month - only because I trade through my limited company for tax efficiency. What a farce! Perhaps if IB take the view...

    Fair value

    Has anyone ever attended the $2600 seminar these guys do about program trading? How worthwhile would it be for someone that is daytrading the eminis?

    Tradestation

    I may be barking up the wrong tree, but have you checked whether your indicator is plotted by "screen" or "same as symbol". If you have overlaid this indicator on top of another or the price data and it is set to "screen" it will look totally different when you adjust the screen size. I...

    Direct Trade...

    Anyone familiar with this firm or have any experience with them? I have an account with them. They are part of Farr, an Introducing Broker for Refco (was PMB, until they had problems). Their service has been poor in the past - it seems like they employ quite young people. However this...
