I'm trading with IB - I just love them, and it's also very flexible to trade anything under the sun. Obviously the behaviour of the order book can be faked, but it does provide some sort of indication on what's going on when the banks update their prices - or when a retail order is sitting in...

God save the queen The fascist regime They made you a moron Potential H-bomb God save the queen She ain't no human being There is no future In England's dreaming Don't be told what you want Don't be told what you need There's no future, no future, No future for you God save the...

I'm not going to comment on your process growing up as a trader, although I see you've been receiving some good feedback from people who know what they're talking about. I'm also trading the EURJPY, it's my absolute favourite pair, and I thought I could share with you some thoughts on it...

Great laugh!

I actually expected it to tank more than this today. I think this week will be one of the most interesting this fall, and that we'll probably see some form of capitulation very soon.

I am slightly worried as the radical scaremongers talk about banning shorting, transaction fees, Tobin tax, shutting down exchanges etc. I've always figured that there would be something to trade somewhere in the world, so I could always find something to profit at. I think we'll be fine...

Traded that pair heavily on Friday and managed to pull 2m jpy out of it. It's one of my absolute favourites at the moment.

Yes Plunger - I look at it the same way. Reading the charts of the Dow and S&P it's like we're just about to have a significant leg down to about 6000 and 600. I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but it sure looks like it's about to happen.

Let me just add my 2 cents as well and say that if you're going long when the market is limit down you deserve your position. Calling it unethical from an electronic broker is just ridiculous. You are fully responsible for your trade and IB was not at all to blame. The exact same thing would...

I kept it open for a few months a while back with about 1500 usd in it, just to get quotes etc. Don't know what the minimums are.

No, the size you trade is quoted in the first part of the pair: In USDJPY your order is 25.000 USD. So buy 25000 is going long USD and short JPY. When you buy 25000 at 95.00 and then sell 25000 at 95.10 your net profit is in JPY - your USD account is the same but your JPY account receives...

Using market orders in the FDAX during the US daytime/afternoon is now really not a good idea. Spreads have been many points wide as of late. 3-5 points (6-10 ticks) isn't unheard of. I trade 2 FDAX, 10 FESX, 10-20 NQ and 10 ES using Xtrader Pro.

Do you even understand what a black box is. It's such a generic statement, and the whole idea just doesn't make sense at all. What would distinguish a system running in Tradestation from a "black box"? Would it be the frequency it trades, cause I have some automated strategies in X-trader...

Sylvia is great! Out with the honey traps and introduce some brain power.

The thing with Buffet is that he is relying on the markets to eventually bounce back. What's he been at the game for- 40-50 years? You just have to look further back in history - 1929 for instance - and see that just being long sooner or later will be disasterous. Now, what's going to...

There really is nothing written in stone regarding this. If you're successful it's a matter of risk tolerance, how hard you want to push it, how hard you want to work, current market movements/opportunities and how much liquidity the markets you trade can offer. Markets change over time...

This market is a fantastic opportunity to make money for experienced traders. For unexperienced traders it's an opportunity to jam several years of experience into a few months. If you blow up your account, take the time to understand what happened and learn from it. Then give it another go when...

Are you a fricking idiot who, despite your Old age, still cannot read? I quote from the article: "Maxwell, a registered independent, said the shift in attitude at the agency began about seven or eight years ago, about the time the Bush administration came into power. He said he was...

What's this gnome, do you really think ET'ers are THAT stupid? Take this trash to some alternative-perception-of-reality site - this is just crap and I know you're not so stupid that you're falling for it yourself. Posting this is a sign of how desperate you are. Put your country first, and get...
