Not to a shopaholic who isn't earning enough to pay for the purchases (or a couple of hundred million of them).

You forgot to respond to the "gave speech telling everyone to go shopping"

actually ... if a trader focusses on making money ... thats another way of screwing up for most. a winning trader cares about executing his tested and documented system/strategy/method/trade plan as well as he can. he or she knows that if they do that then over time they will make money...

Will you be off the US server or the European one? Find out from IB and ask them for the IP address ... but lets be real ... your only problem will be if you have a slow internet connection. Try pinging www.cisco.com or www.ibm.com to get an idea of your round trip delay to the USA. IB's...

This is not ib's fault IT IS NOT A WEB SITE ... so it doesn't start www Try mktgw1.ibllc.com IBs servers are fast enough (very fast). The issue you will have is the internet delay but even from the other side of the work its only a couple of hundred milliseconds so unless you...

Ed S was always full of sound bite ... (rhymes with) For the person who asked "how does a perfectionist stop it causing losses" you need to reframe your perfectionism. Define perfection as ... 60% of entries by the system, correct stop & target in 70% of the time, trade managed exactly...

Consider it a good lesson. There is a saying in trading "don't try to catch (buy) falling knives." $300 is not a large price for such an important lesson. Don't try to sell at open --- everyone else who's panicking will be too so you're better of looking for a bounce (except I'm not sure...

LOL nik, Pathetic as usual. I didn't say he was a mouthy wanker (I might say it about you but I'm way too polite), I suggested that he might be if he made the accusation and didn't do anything to follow it up.

If you honestly believe this (instead of just bullshitting like most such posers here) then complain to the relevant authority. Otherwise you're just another mouthy wanker.

Dual cores are good (I'm waiting for an 8500 to replace my year old 6600 because I want the low power consumption). Lots of fast ram is good too. I run my charting from a ram disk because I looked at disk access and discovered most of it was my charting software ... it runs amazingly fast...

Assuming you're talking about Ethernet cards then you need a crossover cable between them so that the transmit of A is talking to the receive of B and vice versa. Either that or get a small cheap 10/100 or 1000 hub.

Lian, If the good folk here who point out the stupidity and maliciousness of most attacks on IB (and I include your misleading friend Ted here) are employees of IB then we can bet that you're one of Ted's illegal investors. Those who succeed as traders and thus are here more than 12-18...

It's because they're twats. They lose in the markets and try to make up for it by attacking brokers and warm hearted souls like me. :) They don't last all that long though. I've been gently pointing out their flaws to such folk for the last 4 or 5 years and none of them last long. Blown...

Thanks for the update.

Still wrong. I have friends who operate in India and Australia and have a very clear view of the inside of the hospitals involved. Others don't do it. You go to India for price and a good supply of spare parts.

You are exposed for the length that you hold the stock. Your aud balance will have declined and you will own stock (valued in USD). No free lunch. But you're only exposed for the hold period. You could take an idealpro forex position too (50:1 leverage, minimum 25k usd, I think) .... but...

LOL ... you are so wrong about this one. Some of my friends are surgeons and many are of Indian origin (some born there, some here, some in Africa ... just like my white friends :)) But the reasons people go to India for surgery are: 1. Its cheaper than in first world countries 2...

The great thing about trading is that there are plenty of wankers like Ted out there to take the other side of our good trades. Rock on Ted ... you're my fave!

It will be the same. Ozzyarb, don't worry too much about your base currency. I trade in yen, usd, eur and hkd and have balances in all of them despite my base currency being usd. You just trade. IB will charge you interest rate on borrowed dollars if you hold for a while but will pay you...
