Many traders I know trade only one side. Stock traders that I know are mostly long only. I don't know enough futures traders to comment. I guess many futures traders will trade both sides since it is as easy to short as it is to long with futures. However, bear market characteristics are...

IBKR has consistently warned me before and after I place an market order. Sometimes, for some reason which I don't know and don't like, IBKR slows down my trade execution. I hope IBKR does not inconvenience users to comply with regulations going forward.

Strange that you called James Simons a loser. He has the best long-term track record among hedge fund managers. What I didn't like about Renaissance Technologies is that they keep the best fund to employees only. How can his investors know for sure their best fund does not trade against their...

Problem is solved. I can access the reports now.

Anyone knows what exactly did Interactive Brokers do wrong to get fined? I am a customer of IBKR and I am naturally concerned. So far, I'm happy with IBKR.

One answer is provided in the article. But why should shale oil make getting the supply of oil right so difficult? It is just another way of oil exploration and production.

If traders call him God, then he must be the best. If the best has fallen, this tells us something very significant has changed in the market. What has changed in the oil market to cause God to fail? Any ideas from elite oil traders on this forum...

The far more insightful analysis you mentioned are done by humans. Being a human, I also would prefer to be more expensive :). As a customer, I prefer machines because they are cheaper and humans aren't really good when it comes to stock forecasts. I will pay more for good human engineers but...

Thanks for the update. I will be looking forward to the fix.

Thanks for your reply. At least now, I know it is IBKR's problem, not mine. I did not have the pop-up but I wanted to subscribe to Reuters StockReports+. I went to the website but the option is absent. Yet, on their website, IBKR mentioned about this research option...

I have been using Reuters StockReports+ on Interactive Brokers TWS since early part of 2017 as a convenient quick assessment of a stock. Since August, this research feature suddenly disappeared from my TWS. This report used to be available by clicking "show news" on the stock. On IBKR website...

Hi s0mmi, Are Outrights referring to directional bets? Would you care to explain what you mean by Outrights? Pardon my ignorance.

Thanks. I will keep a lookout for the book. Hopefully, there are similarities between trading commodities and stock indices and knowledge from one can be applied to the other.

Thanks for your insightful answer. I understand better now.

Websites provide convenience and higher productivity. All financial information for stocks are public. Is it productive for an investor to gather all the financial information himself?

Don't quite understand your question. Dividends depends on the stocks in the stock index. It should be estimated from declared dividends and historical dividends. Cannot be 100% accurate, of course.

Knowing the fair value is useful so that one does not buy or sell too far away from fair value.

What are some websites that provide the fair value of stock index futures? Preferably, fair value of European and Asian stock index futures are also provided besides the American ones.

The newbies will not be able to distinguish bullshit and genuine good advice. The profitable trader will simply leave this forum thanks to the unfriendly and the losers will be the elite losers.

I'm sure you are right. I'm also pretty sure there are kind people out there who are willing to help out the "losers" here. It is unfortunate many of them get discouraged by some of the unfriendly characters here.
