I just covered this @ 9002 with a 27pips loss. Charts seem to have a bullish bias before the news at 16:00CET. Support at 8960-70 spot. If it breaks, we'll see about getting short.

Shorted @ 8975 spot. Very close to daily horizontal resistance at around 9000. Support @ 8910-8920.

Things are unclear at the moment. We are drifting up... but difficult to say where resistance is gonna come in.. somewhere @ 8910-8930 ? Rising support currently @ 8800-8830. I will wait for a clearer picture.

Covered @ 8809 spot. This down leg seems over.

Please point me at where you get / how you calculate that. Thanks.

You picked a top? The daily trend has changed and you're fighting it. Still short and waiting...

Human rights, including trading, aren't. :D

If you keep talking like that, you may all get busted in the name of the Patriot Act and sent to the Guantanamo Bay.

OK. So I can fund my IB account with $10k, sell EFPs for $10k, and use up to $8k for initial futures margin and up to $9.5k for maintenance margin. Not bad at all. Please correct me if I am wrong. Now, what's the story with non-US accounts and dividends? Also, I think the commissions...

The question is rather how to utilize the EFPs if you only trade futures. So it's not really free cash, it's cash used as margin. Let's say I have a $10k account, and my futures trading is using up to $5k maintenance margin. How much $$$ can I put into selling EFPs? $5k? ~$10k? or $8k...

I don't understand you. Let's say you spare cash. To sell an EFP is: You buy the stock with your cash (not on margin). You sell the SSF, that needs 20% margin. Unless IB recognizes that the position is practically risk-free, to sell an EFP requires 20% margin. True or not?

What initial/maintenance margin you need for EFPs? 20% for the SSFs, or less? The position is practically risk-free, 20% margin would be too much.

People keep asking this meaningless question... It's possible to make from -100% up to +x%, with x having no upper bound. It all depends on the features of your system and leverage.

Selling area @ ~ 8950 spot. Get short, and patience.

Daily support @ the ~9000 area, but it feels weak. I will sell any bounce contained by ~9030.

Covered @ 9054.

Rally seems to pause here for now. I am trying a little short here @ 9071 spot, with a modest target at around 9050-55. Stop somewhere above 9083.

Don't know about CROX, but you should never short CRUX.
