Can someone please answer this question for me. I was wondering if there is a way to short actual Chinese stocks as opposed to the index. I am sure if you were able to get a breakdown of stocks listed on the Shanghai market, we would be able to see some stocks that have made ridiculous...

I finally caved in and thought it would be a good time to start to participate in this thread. Really nice day today and hopefully more to come. :)

The best trader I know by far is Millenium Man. As well as being a great trader he has helped me out tons. Most good traders I know really keep to themselves. He is one of the best and deserves all the $$$ he makes. Keep making the $$$ and thanks for helping me and a bunch of others...

Hey bud. I disagree with what you are saying. We can debate this forever and there will be no winner. If someone is new and losing 300-500 per day, they are probably not cut out for this biz. There are many different styles of trading. I happen to scalp the naz. I like to scalp...

I have to jump in here. Most traders do fail, I do agree. There is no reason why a trader needs to have 25K. You can start with 5K and have success. I do highly agree that it is nice to have a bigger cushion. The most important thing by far is DISCIPLINE! If a trader starts with 5K he...

Is there a way to purchase natural gas options with IB? I want to buy some calls on natural gas. Any help is very much appreciated. :)

That would be awesome! I missed the last gathering because of harsh harsh allergies. It was absolutly ridiculous. I will be at this one for sure. Please keep me updated. Glad to see you guys want to do it again. :)

Sorry for the silly question. Can someone please tell me what type of overnights you are allowed to do with IB. I am asuming you are allowed 2 to 1 overnight on stocks. Can someone please tell me if this is correct. I am interested in swing trading Nasdaq stocks. Thanks for anwering...

I will be there. Sounds like a plan. :D

Beer sounds fine with me. I suggest we go on a day when it might not be so busy and maybe to a place where we will be able to hear each other. We went to milestones in yaletown one time and it was a good atmosphere. We could all hear each other and they got decent food. I will go with...

I am not a great economist, but i believe we are headed for trouble. Greenspan is for the people. Bernake will be a puppet of Mr. Bush. Why do you think Bush does not like Greenspan? I am not sure exactly how everything will play out? One thing for sure!! It is going to get ugly...

What happen to this big get together and all the beer i was going to buy everyone? LOL Are we still getting together?

Hey bud. Genesis is doing nothing wrong. It is just the way they calculate it. It can be confusing if you have alot of overnight positions. I run a group through them and a few of my guys were thinking the calculations were wrong. Now everyone understands how it works. To ensure that...

One thing with Genesis and overnights. They do calculate weird sometimes. They are not screwing you. I will try to give an example of what takes place. Lets say that your p&l on the day is + 100 to make things very easy. Currently you are flat. Now you decide to buy 1000 shares of xyz...

That works fine with me! Hopefully you guys pick a place where it is not super loud. Last time we got together it was milestones and it was very nice for talking and being able to hear everyone. Just an idea but anywhere is cool with me. :)

Loving life in Van. I have been trading for a little over 4 years now. I trade equities but i am going to start messing around with options a bit. Im up for a beer!

Anyone else have comments?

Ok! So for individuals, they have up until the end of the month, but for institutions, it had to be today. Cool. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. Thats interesting. I never thought for a second it would be a grey area. I thought it would be cut and dry. So im still confused??? :eek:
