Your another of those anti-ib morons. I just checked and all but one of your posts is anti-ib ... and the other one was promoting Oanda. You don't know what you are talking about. I don't believe that you have the experience you claim unless it was as the office janitor. Your command of...

No. I am a user of IB and like most of their defenders have had lots of experience with brokers in the futures and stock industries. I've even had a forex bucket shop (better charting than oanda but more inclined to screw with the prices). Yes I've used both of their forex offerings although...

Wrong. At least get your facts straight. The thread is going from dumb to dumber. Ballyhoo, IB make their money by charging you a commission. Counterparties make their moneys by being better traders than you are. Try using limit or stoplimit orders if you want to manage your entry prices...

LOL. Very nice screens. For anyone who cant see this picture try: http://www.realtimesoft.com/upload/gallery/566.jpg

Shaffi, It almost certainly doesnt represent broker inefficiency, its just the nature of the experience of trading fast markets. If you want to trade these (or IMHO any) markets you should use stoplimit orders for entry and usually for your tight trailing stops. Stop orders should...

Trend trader in that I trade in the direction of the trend. Normally I enter on retracements and then exit on either targets (resistance) or trailing stops and counts of pushes to tighten the stops. Intraday trends ... 30 minutes to 90 minutes. Fred: Find NQoos site and look up the...

One of the nice things about trading is you can define the trend a number of ways. Three people can use three ways and the only issue (for me) is whether they are able to use those ways to trade profitably. Re the emas and the laacooons ... there is slightly more to my entries than simply...

I borrowed a Ouija board from Surfer and have found it excellent. More seriously ... I put two emas on every intraday chart and if price is under them I go short only and vice versa for longs. I also count the number of pushes to build a "perception" of the likelihood that this particular...

Try uninstalling everything (tws and metaserver) and starting again. When I used to use it I found it pretty fussy and had to do some bizarre stuff to get ms going again after upgrades.

Yes it does Surfer. I define trend following as: - perceiving a trend by some means - entering with a breakout or pullback (your choice) - exiting with a target based on market structure or with trailing stops. And it works :) __________________ The things people believe in are...

MC is a gifted "author" who has taken learning traders for a ride with his overpriced courses and pathetic support for years. To give him money by buying the book is offensive IMO. FWIW I wasn't one of the suckers but you can find an educated discussion on Cvell on Curtis Faith's site -...

CCI is an indicator not an index but there is an index of commodity prices that is too thin to be worth trading. USDX doesnt have any volume as you have recognized. You could construct a bundle of its components and trade that but you'd be better off trading eur/usd usd/jpy etc seperately.

I've spent a lot of time in the US so my perceptions are quite broad. Its still interesting to see what people say; although no-one has taken this challenge.

Are people happier if they like other people? Or are people happier because they think other people like them? And is that the same as other people liking them? And, based on the responses to the question here would this community care?

Hedgeking, Good luck with the position ... it will be very interesting to see how you do with it.

LOL ... this is very sad. I like people a lot (but I've never liked having a boss even when I liked them as people). It would be interesting to see nationalities against this having just watched Bowling for Columbine and seen the comparisons between US and Canadian attitudes that he...

If you are holding for less than a day and they have only a few days till expiry you may need to undersand how their value varies with time. But even if holding options with 20 days till expiry you do need to understand the relationship between their value and the current futures price to...
