Hi, The minimum and maximum amounts quoted do actually refer to the amount of currency rather than number of contracts. The amount refers to the currency of the base of the pair of currencies. Thus you shouldn't think of it as just AUD - like it would be for a future. It is a pair of...

I also had a problem a couple of days ago adding the ticker for the Globex EUR - march contract. It would let me add any future contract except the one I wanted - it kept defaulting to the EUR future offered by the Mexican derivatives exchange. All other Globex currency futures come up fine...

If you check out this website: http://axofiber.no-ip.org/inside/monitor.lcd.panels.en.htm You'll see that the Apple display uses the same panel as Dell (the LG Philips). Also, in the past Dell have kept ahead by including the latest available 30" panel before Apple does. So yeah, the...

The resolution of a TV will be at most full HD, which is 1920x1080. This is half the number of pixels of a 30" monitor which all seem to be 2560x1600. The TV idea may be OK for 'low res' display if you need a large screen mounted further away from your eyes - but it would probably look...

Hi, I posted a similar quote from the same IB email, which I also received, in another recent thread. However that thread was regarding an account that was closed by IB - apparently with no fore-warning. My guess was that the account was closed due to this agreement not being signed. So my...

So what's changed (or gone wrong) since December, when it was at its all time high?

There is no futures contract for GBP/JPY. On interactive brokers you can trade cash through IdealPro - which is a pseudo ECN set-up.

You may want to search through your emails and see if you received something like this: Alert 18 December 2007 URGENT MATTER CONCERNING YOUR ACCOUNT On 2007-6-14, IB delivered to you through Account Management a revised customer account agreement which our records show you have yet...

Yeah, it would be (likely) missing all the hardware drivers to function properly (assuming you're using XP?). I've tried something similar after building a new computer - just plugged in the old hard drive with the OS already on it. It does (or did in my case) boot-up, as it seems Windows adapts...

Was it the sneaky 'WiFi' switch? I've also had many hours wasted by that little bugger!

That's almost criminal!

The quadro NVS 440 is a PCIe card, so you should check that your motherboard has the right slot first. Otherwise you can get the NVS 400 which comes in either AGP or normal PCI.

The cost of carry is already priced into the futures contract (which is for 125,000 usd.jpy by the way). Thus the value of the future decreases as expiration approaches as the cost of carry (for the smaller period) decreases. Which means you don't get a free ride from the interest on your...

Metatrader4 is a good way to learn how to back-test strategies. The MT4 language is reasonably easy to learn, it's free, and there's already scores of strategies and indicators available. Although, this software won't necessarily tell you what systems will work - but it is a quick way of...

Sure it seems counter-intuitive at first, but if you consider that any gas a particular temperature will condense at a certain pressure, why would forcing in more gas increase the pressure when it is past the critical point for condensing? Wouldn't it rather just condense? The equation...

I understand that liquid C02 is used in paint ball guns because it is effectively a self-regulating gas supply - whenever the storage vessel is pressurised enough to liquefy, the pressure of the remaining gas does not go up any higher. In other words, it doesn't matter if the storage chamber is...

Why trade 10X? Is there a maximum the broker will allow on a single box option?

Unfortunately though it's all based on debt. Individuals in the UK have twice the personal debt of those in the rest of Europe. Without high per capita productivity to support the high spending the UK economy is in a fragile state.

Really? I always considered that the 'general' use of term 'scalping' was in regard to the size of the profit target rather than the frequency of the trade. But then again, some would fervently adhere to the traditional stock trading definition of 'buying at the bid and selling at the ask'...

If that was something that was new, i.e. no one had ever published how to do it, or actually written a publicly available program to do it, then yes you could patent that. The reason that Windows XP source code is not published is because there is no patent on 'Windows XP'. A patent is for a...
