Do you have problems with the subscribers webpages?

Any IBD users here? I'm having some problems accessing the webpages for subscribers. I wonder if it's my computer problem or IBD. Any IBD users face same problems?

I understand points 1 and 2. I fail to understand point 3. Why should longer time-frame work better than shorter time-frame in backtesting? Shouldn't shorter time-frame work better since you have more data for testing when you go into intra-day?

China is the source of future business growth. Treating China like an enemy will cut off this source of growth. Treating China like a rival but continuing to engage this rival actively, even cooperating, makes more sense. I can see some Americans are letting their personal prejudices get in the...

I wonder how big is the risk that the outsourced trading desk will front-run their trades. Hard to gauge what other unethical but legal tricks that these outsourced trading desks will play.

Between China officials and Trump, I trust the Chinese more. From past track record, Trump is a salesman who will talk his side of the story, blow up the story with superlatives, greatest this and greatest that, then surprise the whole world with a devastating tweet. He has lost much credibility...

Same experience here. This is an intermittent problem. Usually, notifications arrive quickly. Sometimes, they don't. But not a big problem. I manually key in the security code when notifications don't arrive. Having said that, this is definitely an area IBKR team can look into and improve...

Someone told me demand and supply analysis does not apply to forex. This is because currency can be printed by central banks. Look at QE. There is no finite supply for a currency because money can be printed. So, demand and supply analysis for forex is pointless. So, what is the view of the...

I think the main reason for the better performance is younger hedge funds manage lesser money.

It's unusual that bears rise to a 2 decade high when the stock market is near an all-time high.

It will be something to boast about based on what I know about him. It is not Donald Trump's style to keep people in suspense if it's bad news like tariffs on China. He will send the tweet directly. He wants to capture everyone's attention first and await for his big news. So, it has to be...

if you were a client, would you have confidence in a money manager with a track record of shutting down his fund? By the way, is he shutting down his fund because his fund could not collect enough risk-free fees as the asset under management is not large enough?
