    Lets not jump to conclusions that Traders Accounting had any prior knowledge that a competitor of theirs would have prior posts deleted in return for them paying baron for advertising. It is true that GreenTraderTax was not an official sponsor. However, if lets say Interactive Brokers got...

    Some commision realities about IB and Tradestation

    Actually Proudrebel...this is wrong. Jay123 is 100% correct I checked it out after reading this forum. You can change the price yes and have it turn around as a cancel and replace with ease ( a plus for IB). However, once that price is changed the commision reschedule resets back to .01 for...

    Transition: loser to winner

    Most of my success in trading comes from having a great defense. I consider my game of trading sometimes to be akin to football. I try to play year to year as the number one defense with a great running game. I go for conservative yards.. and once I see them not covering the receivers (aka...

    Nikkei down 466 points!

    I think I should clarify why I even brought up the subject about the 50 ES. The reason is more to do with me than you, let me explain. I currently trade with 500K total spread over 4 accounts. The account at IB has 60K (for futures use only) and it is in this account that for some reason I...

    Nikkei down 466 points!

    You're short 50 S&P emins? That is the equivalent of 25,000 shares of Spiders (SPY) short. I'm just curious are you trading a +million dollar account to justify that large of a position? If not what risk parameters do you have in place for stops and targets? In other words with a position...
