    college and trading career help

    If YOU wanted to make a point and feel superior to someone you should have ran spellcheck and learned how to use punctuation properly. "U sound like a 14yr old grl on myspace" And as for advice* for the poster. Finance degrees are mostly the norm so you might have a problem distinguishing...

    I checked out Xpresstrade and downloaded their demo. The comissions look a bit high but their platform has live charts and theres no minimum to open. Also, the margin requirements look like theyre higher then what I've been seeing advertised. I'll continue researching them....anyone have...

    Gambling Behaviour and World Economies

    Interesting question...there has to be some studies out there. What about after a boom, when people have excess funds are they more likely to take larger risks and gamble with the money?

    Makes sense, but I'm assuming I wont lose 15 points right off the bat and be forced out of the market. Maybe I'm overconfident that I can stay within the range of breaking even for a while. I guess I'll find out sooner or later. Thanks for the advice.

    I checked out Sierra and like what hey have to offer. I'm still a bit confused as to how these platforms link up with brokers....Can I only use platforms that are on a brokers website? Say I want to trade with global futures and use sierra as a front end...is this possible?

    The God thing was an exaggeration over how big of a nag I thought she was being and was meant to be a joke, I guess you couldn't understand that so you had to take the oppurtunity to go off on a tangent about sheep and sound like an ass. And as for a decent thread going bad; theres threads...

    college degree quesiton

    I don't recall saying I was "better" than anyone. Simply pointing out the messed up philosophy. Who provides income and who stays at home in a relationship is up to the two people that are in it, I don't think it's for anyone to decide gender roles in anyone elses relationship. If your wife...

    Interesting you bring that up. I used their demo and really liked it. However I'm not able to put up the 5k to open an account(hence the attraction to global futures). I really only want to start with about half of that. Assuming that there are no fees for dipping below a certain balance what do...

    Something similar to IRT would be right up my alley. I don't need anything too fancy. How do I know if something is compatible with global futures?

    Stupid Question

    I plan to trade very small (1 or 2 contracts) for a while until Im comfortable. Since I'm new to futures my main goal is capital preservation so I can stay in it and learn for as long as I can. Thank you guys for your help.

    Stupid Question

    Ok, I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this, but I have to ask a really basic question. I've looked everywhere for the answer and I'm assuming at this point that its so basic that its a given in any futures tutorial...Lucky for me I've had several beers after work and could really care...
