kserra are you using anything else besides just the MA's? RSI, MACD, STOCH? or are you only using the MA's crossing? What made you decide to use a VWMA over the other ma's(wma, sma, ema etc?)

i think the problem is that for the past few days a lot of people have been having problems, up until this past week i've never had a problem, i had mine log off twice early this morning, and i know it's not my internet connection, and i'm sure with this many recent complaints, everyone net...

intially yes, lets say ABC co. wants to go public, the underwriter is merill(usually theres a couple, but we'll use one for this) the co., their attorneys, cfo etc. and the underwriters, attorneys etc. decide on an offering price and share amount. lets say 10 mil shares at 10 bux. they then...

1. no, usually if it's a hot ipo the price will be higher. 2. no the company doesn't get 200mil, the underwriter usually pays the co. for a certain price for the amount of the 10mill shares that will be available to the public-firm commitment offering, the co. doen't have to offer all 10mil...

what i do when trading froeign markets(thanks to def, helped me out on this) is trade normally, liked he mentioned, and the at the end of the week exchange your currency through TWS IDEAL, i guess you can do it every day if you want, i just wait unitl the end of the week.

unless you have a multi-million dollar acct w/one of the underwriters, you're not going get in on the action until the rest of the public can, you still might be able to get make a quick buck or so, but as soon as it's available to the general public all of those people with the million dollar...

i'm cst also HSI opens up at 7:45 cst-10:30, then there's a break, and reopens and 12:30-2:15am, yes it's daytradeable, mainly you're only going to get one move in the first session and one in the second, the second session is usually a little calmer, if you can catch one of the moves, you can...

have you looked at the HSI in Honk Kong? i'm not too familiar w/the ones you mentioned, but the HSI has a lot of opprotunity to make some cash(or lose some) each tick is 50 HKD= 6.45 USD, if you have IB the data is free, you should take a look at it, but hold on, it moves a lot, it will...

Ib will work just fine for you, i admit the phone c/s isn't the best, but i've heard it's improving, i haven't had to call them in a while, their online c/s, is great though, TWS is simple and easy to use, i haven't had any major problems w/it crashing.

i see what you're saying, i don't think he ment pink sheets, i think he ment a traditional ipo through GS, Merrill etc.

no one here isn't saying stocks under .01 don't trade in a mill+, were talking about doing a billion dollar ipo,

once again it comes to simple supply & demand, there would have to be a daily volume of 3,4,5 billion shares to do something like that, take a look at all of the spinoffs of other companies, these spinoffs were just as big as google, nothing like that happened, it doesn't make good business...

i'm not sure exactly what Berkshires ipo price was i think it was around 6-7k a share in the early 90's, but they just chose not split or do any secondary offerings, that was their intention all along, long before daytraders, and not just any company can do that, i would have to be a very well...

that's what it's expected to do, but there's no way in hell their going to do a 1 billion share ipo, they'll offer a few hundred million at a higer price,(it goes back to simple supply and demand) lets say they offer in on the Nasdaq, naz does about 1.5 bil shares a day, give or take a few, do...

you had initially said ipo it's stock and pricing 10.00 a share and 1 billion shares, that means you would want to offer a 1 bill share ipo @ 10 bux each, which is impossible(simple suppy & demand) you can't really offer an ipo for almost the whole amount of an excanges daily volume. not to...

that would never happen, first off, no company has ever issued an ipo for a billion shares, if a company were to issue a hundred million shares, that would be huge, most are far less than than that, most companies who issue huge shares have been extremely large private companies or they are a...

i don't know how good it is, but i use Norton Internet Security, it has antivirus and and an internet security program(it has a fireall built into it), it works great.

who cares what his passwords are, one thing he said is that the IB c/s rep was nonchalant about it, would you or anyone else want to speak to a rep who didn't give a shit if you acct. was being hacked into? people are going to be able to hack into websites no matter what your passwords are. I'd...

if he loses money, it's not his money, either way if he's on his own or w/someone if he loses, he loses, w/Carlin he doesn't have to lose his cap? the deal isn't great, but it's not horrible for a newbie w/no cap. the problem here is some people are looking at this w/their current situation, no...

prop firms want people to scalp, so i would say that most, not all people working at propfirms do scalp. but with a 200 share limit and paying .02 a share it would be almost impossible to scalp, but it will be a great learing experience for you, you will be able to get a lot of your mistakes out...
