Your stop loss was filled @1.42528 at 9:03:46 pm on 10/24/07. Your T&S screen shot doesn't cover that time.

Interesting stuff, although you can safely bet that you are not the only one doing this... applying rigorous numerical and statistical methods to the process of systematically betting on football games, as a strategic investment. :cool: Incidentally, are you familiar with / have you studied...

That's correct. Example: EUR/USD quote is 1.4320/21 --> enter long @market 1.4321 ask. Quote is now 1.4370/71 --> exit @market 1.4370 bid. Spot price change = 50. P/L = 49 = 50-1 = change - spread.

Since you asked... both your math and every sentence in your post - except the first two and the last one - are either factually incorrect or omit critically important facts. Yeah, you are missing just about everything. You generally give up the spread once per trade, not twice... there are...

Might want to take a look at liquidity first: http://www.cme.com/html.wrap/wrappedpages/end_of_day/daily_settlement_prices/rmb.html?h=1 10/23/07 volume = 1 (one) 10/24/07 volume = 61 Open interest = 343 Maybe OK for investing (but with the added hassle and spread cost of monthly...

I don't use TS, but if they are typical, both the candles and the info window show the average of bid and ask. Therefore, "high" and "low" values on the charts don't reflect the true executable high (ask) and low (bid) prices - there is a discrepancy equal to half the spread. If so, no foul...

If you're a small fish, honor system. You self-report.

Let's not forget that if you are a US citizen abroad, you can exclude up to $82,400 of your foreign earned income (will be slightly more for 2007). Should be more than enough for a minimalist like fatrat to live quite comfortably in most of the places mentioned above. Yes, you're still...

What plagiarism... what creative writing assignment?! Did you somehow manage to miss the URL link to "comment #67" and my Google note at the end of my post? Obviously, I did not write any of that... duh. What I posted is a COMMENT from a DISCUSSION on Howard Lindzon blog - see that URL now...

Not on ET. This particular piece in the OP has never showed up here, AFAIK. Considering how many BSD's we are blessed to count amongst our members (get it?), it was a glaring omission that was begging to be handled. Yeah, I know all about that thread (and several others like it over the...

Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a rich (very rich) 30 year old man. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a girl who is stunningly beautiful. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that merely attractive is just average in New York...

Not only that, the story made it into the coveted single digits of the 25 "Most E-Mailed" list at NYTimes.

Apparently, she's set her sights on becoming the Anna Kournikova of golf.

1 EC contract = EUR 125,000 (not EUR 100,000) &asymp $178,450.

No, it is cash, not contracts. 2% margin, not 1%, for the majors at IB. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/margin.php?p=fx&ib_entity=llc The margin in both of your examples (EUR and AUD) is incorrect... see if you can post the correct figures.

I assume you meant $178,450.

Is filing a lawsuit against IB an available option? Or did you, in fact, give up that right and are limited to binding arbitration, based on the account agreement you had to sign when you opened your direct access electronic account with IB?

Are you sure you want to be a trader? Q1 should not leave you drawing a blank, scratching your head and going to a public message board for help. Where's your passion, your drive, your yen? They'd better come across loud and clear in your answers. You eat-drink-sleep the markets... right...
