Hey, I live in Canada too (I only trade USD futures as well) I believe most Futures brokers will let you deposit funds in a multitude of currencies depending on what instrument you want to trade so you can transact in the native currency. (Anyone can jump in here if I'm wrong) Try...

Here's a link to CME regarding procedures for delivery. http://www.cmegroup.com/rulebook/CBOT/I/7/13.html But your broker will always notify you ahead of time that you have expiring contracts pending (options/futures)

I think you have the basic understanding of the difference between Speculators and hedgers. The previous poster gave an excellent explanation of how futures work so that's covered. As an example, I trade cash nat-gas (for a marketer) and my job is to hedge the physical gas that we flow...

+1 Bizarre! Not sure why i keep reading this but I have the strangest urge to down some mezcal and watch Fear and Loathing... :cool:

I've used Metastock for years, easy conversion from ASCII as well and I personally like the software features.

Thanks for starting this thread and sharing your experience. I don't tend to use any indicators other than vol and MA (sometimes Stoch) so I'm looking forward to your posts. I'm hoping there will be some useful info for me here. JO

emg, I'm really looking forward to that thread! Seems that if you don't use stops you get crushed when some unforeseen event occurs. On the flip side, it also seems that placing them a few ticks outside S/R levels you still get shaken out and using stop limits, you don't get filled. I'll...

Just my 0.02 - I've been demo'ing Zen for awhile and - as expected - it's been solid. I did some demo trading using the CQG feed tonight (ES) and I haven't seen any noticeable problems with charting or data so far. Am looking forward to trying it out during regular session obviously. I...

+1 Athlonman What garbage!! Funny how every time this POS "blasts off" there's no shortage of your buddies to step in and piledrive it right back down within 10 mins... give yourself a pat on the back tommy - another great day at the office

So by being the only pawn open, you're assuming that you're the only bidder on SPY @ 3.00 so therefore no other bids above that price to fill a market order.... Ridiculous, and if thats the case we're done anyway It's well within the exchange's right to bust a trade that far from the NBBO...

Can we please make this thread go away... I just can't in good conscience let anyone buy into this!! Please, anybody... can we let this pump continue?? Look at this chart?? Blast off?? WTF (No idea why this irks me so much... just the absurdity of it I guess) How much are they...

Lol, I can't argue that! Just pointing out that - like the US - the major Canadian Urban centers are also very diverse (just a little different ethnic mixture is all). And its all perspective - just like in So-Cal (and I'm sure other states as well), not everyone loves Latinos and Blacks...

Of course, no arguments there - but is this really any different from the US in many states? I've toured through the mid-west along with most of the North-Western states and the pattern of mostly white rural areas seems to hold up. Admittedly, this is only from my own observations and I may...

No offense, but have you been to Vancouver lately? quote: "Vancouver has a population of 41.7% visible minorities." Driving through Richmond is basically like a tour through Beijing, virtually all the signage is in Mandarin or Cantonese Just as an FYI - not meant in a racist context...

+1 We're leaving Vancouver - a shame b/c it is a beautiful city (great snowboarding and all half hour away) Too bad we don't have a million stashed away to buy a shack, and everything is ridiculously expensive (food, gas booze) compared to most cities in Canada. Plus the traffic is...

Oh I know, that's what makes it so great! Quite possibly one of the saddest pump attempts ever...

Lol, 1d: -2.19% 5d: -8.43% 1m: -6.38% ytd: -37.73% Pls tell me I have time to jump on board:p

+1 I trade cash NG and its been a painful grind... :mad:

Basic Puts and call pricing on stocks is pretty simple. Very simplified example: Say you think MGM is going up in the next few months Trading now at 15.50 Look up the March MGM 16 strike calls Say the price quoted is 1.25 Stocks are easy b/c the contract qty is always 100...

Hey Newbie, I'd advise you do 2 things based on this question: 1) Don't buy any options 2) Start out at the CBOE website. They have some really good educational stuff to learn the basics. :cool:
