Well thats nice.. its amazing how violent religious people can be.. the level of vehemence on this board is dreadful right now. God fearing men and women baying for blood everywhere.. christians, jews and muslims.. all of you at it.. we face a bright future if these folks continue to dominate...

Helen, if you want a good insight into trading the eminis I can suggest you try using paltalk.. there are some really interesting free rooms on that in which you can watch and also hear people trading real time. I have spent a bit of time in mirc chat rooms before and had a spell last year in a...

Bouds, there is plenty on this site about the day trader margin rules introduced last year.. a bit complicated but if you do a search of the site from top right of this screen you can read away to your hearts content.. but basically it means this.. *You can do NO MORE than THREE intra day...

Well Quiet1 said it best really helen.. its a risky game is all I guess. I just hope for the best myself.. lol I am only 'in' the market for relatively short periods during the day and do not always use IB stops but prefer to hover my finger over the mouse button. I have used the new...

That sounds interesting helen.. where do you get the stoxx data feed from? I wonder if IB deals with them.. and is that the stoxx futures you mean or the actual index? I know nothing! lol e-minis timing is perfect for me since my lad is now a grown man and has flown the nest a few years...

How is the transition going helen? I am in switching from US stock trading into es emini trading as we speak.. am enjoying it more than stocks in fact so far.. if you want to talk about any aspect of how best to set about it let me know here.. happy to share experiences so far. Have found...

Hi Baron, I think that was the idea.. a forum dedicated for UK and Ireland traders.. but I can see your point, only six people! lol Better had say something inflammatory and then maybe fasterpussycat or someone will jump in and make it seem like sixty people! lol I will try and think of...

Thats great you are back irishman.. was just a mystery as to why you actually deleted your post.. no worries anyway. I thought helen's idea was a fine one and perhaps the things you seek could have been discussed openly on this thread or another one.. It is nice to know there are other...

Thats a shame.. we are just close enough to get isdn.. or 'HIGH SPEED' as eircom call it.. well its better than my 56k thats for sure anyway.. I wonder how many irish based traders there are really? Irishman has been disappeared.. what next I wonder.. once there were three.. now there are...

Well put steve.. last time I was in a stock leading up to the last fed non event I was really intending to be out well before the non announcement (short) .. lol to my regret the damn thing (nyse) neither stopped me out nor made me a gain.. 2 1/2 hrs later and 5 mins before the moment it...

Its a mystery then Helen.. we are now entering the twilight zone! :confused: I knew it was too good to be true that there was another trader in Ireland and one who had BIG broadband too!! Not forgetting 1contract, I guess you have dsl with BT since you are in the north? Baron will get...

Is there something wrong with me or did I read a post from Irishman here that is now missing?? I was just about to reply to that! Maybe it will re-appear by the time this is posted and make this post look silly.. lol If you read this Irishman then repost please, I am sure you cannot have...

fkeane, they have had leased lines for business for a while and now broadband (dsl) is making the rounds.. unbelievable slow to arrive tho.. eircom spent all its time from the day of privatisation until private rip off sale trying to find the best way to line the pockets of the directors.. and...

well thats nice now... glad you aint in charge of the world man. OR maybe you are? It just bugs me when people are ignorant and still think they are right.. Neil

Is that supposed to be a joke?? lol We HAVE to talk about the weather.. constantly.. all the time.. its our great ice breaker.. its how we meet people... it was sunny here today too... not raining.. actually sunny I tell you!! Really!!!

Hi, its moi that lives in ireland fkeane. Its great trading from ireland.. so long as you don't want broadband connection! lol Its coming tho.. eventually.. already in dublin by jove! Not in the west here yet tho.. as to the tax.. thats good.. just capital gains at 20% max.. very much and...

Bouds.. if you search this site you will see that the quest for a decent charting package continues.. endlessly Eq is great in some ways.. bad in others. I used to use nextrend and I really liked em.. but then discovered their limitations. I tried esignal.. which really should have sorted...

Hi Helen, a UK AND Ireland forum please! lol Baron will tell you how and we will all be there.... I sometimes think I am absolutely the ONLY daytrader in ireland.. that can't be so can it? I certainly recommend IB.. they won't actually help you win tho.. but at least they don't help you...

No stevet.. honestly.. I won't spreadbet!! LOL I just mean the cfd s&p index on d4f.. its just the same as the stock cfd's. Been watching it the last couple of days alongside the real es emini's.. it follows it pretty well. 25c tick and a 50c constant spread.. thats not too bad.. its...

Thanks stevet, that explains it a bit more for me.. been trying to figure how they operate and that makes sense to me. I guess it was wishful thinking but I kinda kept hoping they would work out in the end.. but there you go. I still think they are the absolute best way for a new trader to...
