still not convinced yet. Does SPY accumulate near ATH all month long to have people position for the crash? I don't think so. I say we get another leg up....i'm still looking for that blow-off top.

This is definitely a paper trade account. Very convenient that you left the top bar off the screen shot.

IB will allow unleveraged fx trades----if you have 100k in your account...you can do 1 full lot. Leveraged trades will only be available to qualified clients with 10m worth of assets. This is due to new regulations and only applies to US.

why is it delusional...at the very worst...Block got -8% move out of it. He's pretty smart.

Thankz mav...I know you're throwing a lot of gems my way. Just trying to make sense of it all.

Why not? The market has a short vol bias...selling premium has been a time tested strategy. Obviously, the risk management has to be on point here.

Although if one looks at 2013...similar bottom...yet the market still rallied. Yet, the crowded trade here is to short vix...then it must be that the contrarian trade is for an impending crash? Am I interpreting this right...

wow...havent seen it this low in a while...bullish signal then.

What do you mean by market internals breaking down? Could you elaborate a bit on that. Thanks mav.

Yes you can do non-leverage trades in FX still...but the whole point of FX is to employ leverage. It will definitely affect alot of retail traders. Who really has 200k in IB to just trade 2 lots anyways?

If HD is a bellwether stock and it reported great earnings...then that means business is good in the good old US economy. The stock price reaction is just based on investor expections. HD has sold off many times in the past after great ER reports.

Yes, you can still trade currency futures with IB...though the thought of futures scare most retail traders.

That is because IB is regulated by SEC and this is an SEC regulation not CFTC (oanda, FXCM). Honestly, IB and TD are probably they only fx brokers that I trust...they actually route your orders to fx pools and banks as counterparties...IB itself is not a counterparty for your fx...

I don't know how you're even twisting this up to mean what you think it means. It's so laughable. Are people really this stubborn online? Try it after September 1st and we'll find out.

10m in assets...not leveraged positions or bp. I don't know how you're even construing that to mean leveraged bp of 10m. It states it pretty clearly.

Anyone noticed the really right range with this ATH

I know...I was responding to his previous point about IB demo being better than other demos.

Demo is demo...if it doesn't matter when you're wrong, then it doesn't matter when you're right. Again, like the other poster said...put up or shut up...ain't nobody here to talk about your stupid demo account.

demo isnt worth sht...try live trading and we'll talk

with all this talk about the debt and the end of the cycle...does anyone have any way / ideas to take advantage of this or is it by definition a black swan event and therefore unpredictable?
