We have to stop turning away new money. That's why the market has no follow thru. It's only us, elite traders trading against each other. So, from now on, my motto is going to be...come on in! The water is warm and bubbly. We'd really enjoy your company. Doesn't that sound more warm and...

He wasn't complaining about buying power. Which is pretty much all futures offer. Part of the reason market is also so **%@*$! up IS because of futures! Look at how it's manipulated to suck up your pocket change!

There is very little "dumb" money propelling things. Most players nowadays are more competitive and even the "little guy" has more information and better tools. Moreover, the *BIG* problem is that the market is more than fully priced but at the same time there is no other serious...

Why don't you open an account with your allowance money, that way you get over this stupid phase faster and concentrate on the books.

Looks like a small-cap rally, not big money.

You must be inside the mosque in Fallujah.

How about a "counter-efficient" system? :D

Even in Vegas, you'll find a handful who manage to make a living. Not the case for the majority though. Is that so hard to understand?

The fact that most systems on the S&P fail over a period of months/years, is testament that the futures index is *currently* not tradable with positive expectations. It is investable, but not "positively tradable".

Use a limit order. If you get price "improvement", just send me the difference. This way, you are guaranteed to ALWAYS get your price!

I agree. I think you have better odds in 'Vegas. But somr people will say that "they trade the most liquid, largest financial cos. in the world with 1 instrument". Not worth arguing with them, since they believe the bullshit fed to them by the futures exchanges. Also, many have no...

I believe you. It will make me very reluctant to upgrade from now on. As a matter of fact there is something seriously wrong with the way this latest build handles work pages. I just deleted TWS from my computer, reinstalled the latest version, wrote up 3-4 pages, always click "save...

This is now the 2nd or 3rd time in a month that TWS deletes ALL pages on the platform. I hope IB is listening and resolves this serious problem soon. At least they could tell the user, save "x" file and if it happens, fix it this way. I'm just sick of retyping all the symbols again...

I would NOT want to do business with any operation that did business with any idiot using more than 10-1 leverage much less 100 to 1! Also, if you're "successful" since you claim to be doing 2-3 mil shares a month, what's wrong with putting up 100K-200K to trade? As for your "real estate"...

Maybe if it were your "Rearden" ass burned, you wouldn't be saying this bullshit, would you? These "people" are garbage. Blow them and their fuc**ing country to pieces!

Best thing would be to just cordon off their Fallujah shit town and let the monkeys burn each other to hell! Why even go near this shit hole? So you can drive your SUV's back in the states?

It seems to me all these #^&@!& IRS rules are designed to do 2 things... 1. Collect your money. 2. Keep millions of accountants, lawyers, etc all "working" to collect the portion left that the IRS did not!

Cuz, Mind explaining the "technicals" of a conversion? Thanks!

Execution Capital Good Analysis/System "edge"/positive expectancy Confidence to trade Good soft/hardware/platform backup/infrastructure Not necessarily in any order, but I guess this stool has more than 3 legs.

Qdz, You are one eternal optimist! :D
