    Question on over-night margin requirements

    You didn't answer my question - you are complaining that IB wont let you enter the market 3 minute early without full margin because it isn't "high risk". My question to you is this - how many minutes before the market open does it, in your opinion, switch from "high risk" to "low risk"? In...

    Question on over-night margin requirements

    Dude, no one is "hitting" you for an "extra" $2000 of margin. Each broker has their own rules and they are what they are. Your search should be over by now - go with Global. They are most certainly the most generous with margin requirements - especially for someone in your position. The...

    Question on over-night margin requirements

    It is you that is not understanding this - there is no concept of "overnight margin rules" to the exchange. There are just one set of margin rules that accounts must have. Brokers have started calling it "overnight margin" because they only apply the rules on positions you hold through the...

    Question on over-night margin requirements

    It's not that they "take care" of the difference. The way I understand it is this - the reporting for margin compliance is based on the position of the accounts at the market close. So technically, only at the market close does your broker need to "show" the exchange that the customer has...

    Moving into an apartment as a trader...

    Because they don't want to have to be committed to you for an entire year. What if they want to evict you? What if they sell to another management company 6 months after you move in? Etc., etc. They want you to pay each month.

    Moving into an apartment as a trader...

    No regular apartment complex is going to accept 12 months payment up front. Try it and you will see they won't do it.

    neuroshell

    Neuroshell isn't a "system" - it shouldn't have any claims of making any % return. It is software that you use to develop your own system. A toolbox of sorts.

    Simple ES Market Model

    Wait a minute - a few posts before you said you needed a tick by tick data feed, now you say you use a .2 second polling type feed. Which one is it? Again, there is no such thing as a tick by tick feed.

    There is no such thing, especially since the CME changed how they transmit data now.

    I can produce the results easily to back up my statement. You pick the market - you can even pick the "9th" day if you like.

    I promise you, what I said works every single time - 100%. :)

    trading maxim - 8 down days, 9th day up?

    Yes. If on the 9th day, the close is higher than the open, then the 9th day will be an up day. If on the 9th day the close is lower than the open, the 9th day will always be a down day.
  19. Q

    Do you think this happens ?

    This is the very reason I purposely mix my winning trades with losing trades. My broker thinks I'm just a breakeven trader, but he doesn't know that my losers are just there to keep him from knowing that my trades are always winners.

    Tell me about North Carolina

    Weather is perfect - 4 seasons, none of them extreme. Usually snows once or twice a year - and stays on the ground for a day or two at the most. Hasn't snowed at all this year. No flooding. Traffic is somewhat bad. Crime is not bad. Property taxes aren't bad. Homes are easy to sell as...
