    Rundown on Al Brook's Trading Room

    They are in the same business though, and it ain't making money in the markets. Same with all of these "traders" that run rooms, seminars etc.

    Brazil stocks

    From vague memory there were a couple of Brazilian brokers that allowed foreign accounts. The reason Brazil is so difficult to find brokers for is because of the regulatory environment, in particular the requirement to prove ultimate beneficiary of an account. I think Charles Stanley in London...

    IB: "...terminate our relationship with you..."

    Also my experience for 10+ years. I am talking about AFTER they place restrictions on your account.

    IB: "...terminate our relationship with you..."

    Maybe that is because they have not put any restrictions they threatened on your account yet. If they do it may become as I described.

    IB: "...terminate our relationship with you..."

    As far as I can tell can only send withdraw funds to accounts you sent from, but I think it varies with perceived country risk. There is an IB page on restrictions.

    IB: "...terminate our relationship with you..."

    I got it on the 15th, ID and source of funds. Have forwarded ID and some fund supporting docs but waiting for third party to provide on one. I had to provide proof from 16 years ago.... Possible triggers were me not updating passport data and switched to another non US bank for withdrawals that...

    Broker offering (CASH EQUITIES) STOP [market or limit] ON CLOSE order

    Yes - after reflection I think I can set a STOP order that is presented to the market say between 15:59:56 - 15:59:58 or just at 15:59:58. Regardless of whether the stock has traded above the stop price previously in the session the order will only execute if it is trading above the stop price...

    Broker offering (CASH EQUITIES) STOP [market or limit] ON CLOSE order

    Ok what I meant is the sending of a MOC order by IB is simulated i.e I put in my order before market opens and IB sends it at the correct time stipulated by the exchange where it is executed as a MOC by the exchange. If stop is hit Between 3:59 and 4:00 p.m then I wake up to a rejected not...

    Broker offering (CASH EQUITIES) STOP [market or limit] ON CLOSE order

    Agree not native - I know it was aFUTURES floor order and not sure if even elkectronic futures offer it. Not sure if it is a cash equities order type. Otherwise, not sure I agree. Note it does not participate in the end auction as a stop order - if the stop is triggered a MOC is sent just as if...

    Broker offering (CASH EQUITIES) STOP [market or limit] ON CLOSE order

    IB does not offer this order type and IB conditional order does not have MOC as a selectable order type for conditional order (if it did that would be a workable alternative). Have been requesting for years that they have this order type along with a creation of my own (maybe) The 'STOP...

    Meet the man behind those ‘bitcoin genius’ ads all over the internet

    Popular belief is that he keeps his hair under control with a product called "snake oil". It seems not to work as advertised if that is the case.

    He needs large numbers of people at the asset class name recognition stage to viably sell his newsletters and upgrades to to - if he is covering his ad costs then the 'public' is in the market.

    Backspread a de facto free hedge if you are short?

    What got me with long puts was volatility contracting and time decay and the pending approach of the stage where that accelerates dramatically. With a ratio backspread I think it would depend on the size of the net debit built into the position from the strikes used for long and short side. I...

    Backspread a de facto free hedge if you are short?

    Coming back to this thread to re-read it after 10 years because feeling the same way about the market. Trying to remember if put ratio backspread can protect longs and if call ratio backspread could allow a low risk way to play a possible last parabolic upmove/melt up. If anyone is interested I...

    Things I have learnt as a software engineer in a multinational

    If you create a firing culture you lose the two ends of the distribution, the low end you wanted to lose and the high end you were hoping to nurture. You are left with middle of profile people who cannot easily get hired away. The low end jumps ship ahead of the axe, the high profile knows they...

    Get rid of excess salt by avoiding salty foods and processed foods, it leads to water retention as do white carbs like bread and rice. A couple of times through being sloppy about diet I have got a belly- it was mostly water and removed as above.
