    Credit Suisse Lost $120 Million in Korean Derivatives Gone Awry

    A friend of mine from the industry suggests that most don't make money from trading. Trading is a cost of being in the flow. Some claim they do but it may just be like when you ask a salesman how its going. The banks make their money selling things to their customers not from being clever...

    Windows On-Screen Keyboard

    keyloggers log all sorts of things. They log the internal system program links to the keyboard. They log the clipboard. They log the screen and some of the newest are designed around onscreen keyboards as well. I suspect that anti-keylogger software and a policy of conservative...

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    Its a lot. And you think you have the high ground with your cogent criticism? "A bunch of excuses is what you offer, placing the blame on the banks. Your business model for FX sucks! so does your customer service." "IBs Forex program sucks period. Once an oreder is executed, your have no...

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    Eagle Eye, You're just getting weaker and weaker. I can't be bothered repeating it ... so try rereading the earlier messages. It might sink in. Good luck.

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    Let us know how sadly your next broker mistreats you then Eagle Eye. Remember your mottos: "its always their fault" and "the eagle takes no responsibility." I'll leave you and your mini-mate to it. Good luck :)

    Hang Seng and Nikkei futures

    IB's office in Asia is in Hong Kong. Its one of the three worldwide server nodes and you can choose to make it your "attachment point" no matter where your account is opened. Just let them know that you'd like to be attached to HK (or the US or Europe depending on what you want).

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    And that is the serious point. If you guys behave like a bunch of arrogant idiots starting threads with incendiary names and posting like your mini-mate all you're going to achieve is to give me some fun poking a stick at you. IB's not going to respect you. No other broker would either. No...

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    Hey dickhead, I don't have the faintest hope that you'll get it ... let alone be a man (rofl) but ... What makes you think IB want to respond to threads like this one? If you really want to talk to them then don't expect to do it in threads with titles like this one and your little buddy...

    Multi-monitor

    Simplest solution is likely to be to get a pci compatible card of the same family as your pcie video card. Two outputs is common and cheap which should bring you up to four.

    Averaging down is addictive

    New trader with no knowledge: buys again as position moves down. Well read trader, learning: never average down. Experienced trader: it depends; are you building a position at the right price? Note: Those who ask "would you rather have a whole position only when it's a loser" fail to...

    R:R 1:1

    LOL ... ROTFL ... got ya I think. Some can equal very little :) And 1:1 is often a suck in but if someone does the work (hey, when is that not the case) then it can also be the basis of an effective strategy. If there wasn't lots of new money coming in then it would be much harder to...

    R:R 1:1

    skippy, Sadly, some of what BuySell posts is tripe (and he does post a lot). The only truth will come from developing a valid theory and then testing it. 3:1 etc are useful values for beginners. Helpful because if you want to use a different number they alert you to the "risk" you are...

    Beware - critical flaw in IB Ideal Pro

    LMAO Eagle Eye. I just get amusement from poking sticks at idiots like you. Seems we get a few around here and most of them are attracted to IB's low fees but don't have the experience to get it right ---- so become perpetual whingers. If you guys don't like IB, punish them, vote with your...

    Traders from RUSSIA...wake up

    I would have thought the gunning down of a banker was a positive. Not as positive as taking out a few lawyers and maybe the odd SUV driver but still a positive. U go guys :)

    Averaging down is addictive

    What oldtrader says is right. My version is "if its part of a tested plan then its good." So, if to get the right risk reward and/or to get enough contracts without messing the market up you need to scale in then do so. If you're doing it because the market isn't doing what you expect then...

    Zen, Yoga, Meditation and Trading

    Thunderdog, Benson's extraction is good for the relaxation/biochem aspect of meditation. What it lacks is the awareness aspect of meditation. Straight (Zen or basic Theravada) Buddhism and its Vipassana meditation lacks mysticism (Buddha said don't ask me about that stuff, its a...
