The 1930's are long gone. This is a new era. Whenever they cry the end of the world is coming, you know it is not.

I'll second that :eek:

I'm in this camp. "All-in" and monitor position. Sniper a trade, grab the goods and go. Don't give them time to figure out you're there, where you are, where your stops are--and take you out.

Totally agree!!!!

This is still curve fitting. You are just fitting on a different period now. Because the parameters didn't work well in one period you chose a different period where they did work well.

Very well said.

That says it all.

I'm sure there are some reputable firms out there and I have read up on the NFA. Member firms are covered by the CFTC requirements and I probably wouldn't have a problem with them (except some do still trade against you). I was MOL suggesting to the OP to be careful as there are a lot of...

YES

Forex you are trading against your broker (he takes the other side, makes the market). So this is against your best interest. Not regulated. CME futures are highly liquid, exhange traded, regulated, with many different participants. Need I say more?

I should have said "Refco" in this post. I apologize to Rydex. As far as I know Rydex is a reputable and financially sound firm.

A couple of things. They update their disclaimer soon after they IPO. This is eerily similar to Rydex when they went under. I've heard comments in similarity mentioned often here so I won't repeat them (including in defense of IB). Also this paragraph is new to me.... IN NO EVENT SHALL...

Thanks Bob. I am surprised that I am the only one noticing it. Please, everybody that is having this problem call IB and maybe they'll do something about it. Anybody from IB want to comment?

Not possible. I am getting other quotes from various exhanges just fine.

I went to open a new web ticket from IB and this agreement popped up. Anybody concerned about this disclaimer? Does it signal the beginning of the end for IB? INTERACTIVE BROKERS LLC CUSTOMER AGREEMENT 1. Customer Agreement: This Agreement ("Agreement") governs the relationship between...

I sent the following to IB as a web ticket. Anybody experiencing similar problems? I am seeing a lot of ???? marks where bid/ask/last etc. should be. This is showing for a lot of different exchanges (smart, ecbot etc.). I called and Mark refreshed my market data permissions yesterday. That...

Depends on your goals/objectives. The ones you mention are stock indexes. The DJIA is a price-weighted index of 30 stocks, the S&P 500 is capitalization-weighted index (of 500 stocks) that "supposedly" is representative of our economy, the NASDAQ is also capitalization-weighted but heavily...

Try unbundled with IB, it's about the same. I don't know why anybody would trade bundled.

Actually that would be a 453% annualized return. 730,789/18,000 = 40.5994 40.5994 ^ (1 / 2.16667) = 5.5258 (5.5258 - 1) * 100 = 453%
