I understood that it is illegal to deface the Queen, the money itself is only an extension of this. I would think that pennies are too heavy to ship very far before usage so this is a great business idea to you have you own copper wire factory just over the US border. Or if you have good...

You are right when you say that there are no easy answers. One thing to consider is the interest rate differential. Right now USD yields a bit more but you broker's interest rate hair cuts might eat that up. Don't forget that you are a trader. If you are with IB and your account is worth...

I think this is a chance for all you old-timers who had borrowed money in 1981 to say to yourself that rates are going back to normal now. All the inflation in the economies of the world is driven by the price increases in energy and metal, which in turn have been driven up by financial buying...

I was just referring to the trading technologies ad that I saw above your post. Although I have never used TT I think that anyone looking at that type of software should at least look at TT. I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything, I guess I should be more careful so I don't offend anyone.

I don't think that I have ever seen a better placed banner ad than the one on this thread

Please don't flame me too badly here but can someone please confirm for me the pip value using the smallest lot possible on IB USD- $2.5 EUR- €2.5 GBP- 1.75 pounds Thanks

I would like to see a tighter spread on CHF/GBP. It is a good pair to trade but do you think we could get the spread down to two or three? Five to seven is a bit much, especially compared to the very tight spreads on other IB pairs

Thanks Guys

If I download some thing from ET does that mean that I am taking it from ET's servers or does the link send me to out into the broad internet leaving me exposed to virus and spyware? I guess what I am really asking is how risky is it to download something of ET. As you can tell I am not...

Does anyone out there have any info on a correlation between the Japanese liquidity overnight and the price of Treasuries? I was reading in the FT that big spikes in overnight interest rates in Japan as banks are adjusting to borrowing from each other instead of the BOJ. I think this is one...

A of F is a very good book. Reading it will make you a better thinker and trader

Thanks!

One thing that I would like to add to charts is having price intervals displayed on both the left and RIGHT margin of the screen. Since the last tick is always on the right side of the screen it would be nice to have a reference there.

St Ambrose Macasland Oatmeal Stout, very good on tap. Brewed by a microbrewery in Montreal. Just a warning that it is not very good out of a bottle

Take a look a KOSPI options symbol k200. You can trade very liquid options that have a very small contract size. I think it is a much better contract to trade than SGXNK

Cheques are kind of quaint if you ask me. I suppose that for publicity it would be hard to beat an oversized cheque. I think this is what I like about IB. They don't have time to deal with people like you because their product is so good that they only have to deal with people who are living in...

I find the best time to fade on ES is 10am to about 1:30 pm. Depending on the day you can often fade 3:30pm if you get a move that is over done on "nothing". During the 2pm to 3:30pm timeframe ES often follows a nice trendline. One thing that I will warn you against is increasing size because...

I think that fading is the best way to make consistant profits with a nicely shaped equity curve. It is also good for your mental health because you have a lot of winners and few losers. The thing that you have to keep in mind is that no matter what you trade it will break out at some point...

Of all the dumb things said on ET this just might take the donought. Most of Canada is addicted to Tim Horton Coffee. People drive way out of the way to wait in line to get it. I even think that you can buy the IPO because it will eventually get turned into an income trust with a...

With the farmer point is that volatility in the futures market created money that the farmer could use to pay off debt or invest for interest all while being hedged. The $5000 in the brokerage account used as margin to buy $C last september would have grown to say $12,000. The farmer can now...
