WTF? What was that spike in the last minute? 1.50? fat finger??

When a broker wants to offer your program to their customers, they will ask you to sign THEIR fee-sharing agreement, so you pay them a portion of what you earn on the introduced business. I take it you don't need that right now.

Your puss would be praised if your account was UP over 20% inside of 30-minutes. It would be Fancy Feast + catnip mice, for life !

I wouldn't depend on a STOP-LIMIT to close an open position. You should probably use a regular stop for that. To initiate a position at a highly favorable price, STL or STWL are perfectly fine. There's good liquidity in NG after hours. What type of size are you looking to move?

Chart and trade, kid. Take Velocity's offer of a $50k virtual account. If you really want to make it as a trader (what kind), you should get a job as a broker for 2 years. You will see clients trade successfully, and clients lose it all. It will give you clues as to which...

Straits Financial is an FCM based out of Singapore. They also offer T4 platform.

Micro Euro futures are alright. One penny is $125, so it's appropriate for smaller accounts. I've noticed during RTH the spread and liquidity is reasonable. And yes, Micro Euro futures are the most liquid of the Micro FX Futures contracts. One would consider this more for position...

Stock trading is a bunch of Mickey Mouse shit. Honestly, stocks are fuckin' joke. Look at BATS, Facebook, etc. Can't even have an orderly market. Stocks going to one penny then rebounding...what a laugh. None of that crap EVER happens in Listed Futures: CME, NYMEX, CBOT, etc...

There are other good partners out there. I have some business at Dorman, but am now more friendly to Advantage Futures and ADM, although ADM needs the T4 platform like roses need rain. Not everyone wants to pay $1600 monthly for XTrader. Heech, you trade agriculture, right?

My IB contact in Chicago told me IB would do Give-Up agreements for accounts over $1mm. For accounts over $1mm, we can find better servicing / execution than IB!!! Thing is, I have prospective clients who have accounts (under $1mm) @ IB. But IB's execution for futures is dogshit. I...

OP- You may want to RE-consider if trading futures is appropriate for you. It may not be. BE ADVISED YOUR STOPS TO EXIT LOSING POSITIONS MAY NOT FILL AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK YOUR STOPS. I know on our T4 platform when a STOP is executed in CL it actually becomes a LIMIT ORDER...

Friend, when someone in the derivatives industry tells you that you will double your money in 3 days, or that his advice will take you to rich or filthy rich, you should realize you're either dealing with someone delusional, or an outright fraud. Since jack doesn't ask for money, as far as I...

Yesterday I had my FIRST DELETED POST ON ET. I quoted jack hershey as saying 'remember it only takes 3 days to double your capital' and 'I will correct your errors. it will take you to rich and filthy rich within months' And I couldn't decide whether to Laugh or Cry. It's a...

The $50k in your account will have little to do with whether you trade profitable. To extract any amount of money from the market (which market??) consistently, you will need to exhibit technical mastery of trading, i.e. at which prices to buy and to sell. If you have $50k in risk capital...

if you guys are thinking Support & Resistances are anything other than former highs and lows (as opposed to 61.8% retracements, or "pivot" formulas or Ikoomoochoo's cloud) then you are so far out of your league you should stop trading now. I worked in retail for many years and used to cringe...

Jack Hershey, how many years has it been since you've played with a "full deck?" ;)

Both PFG and Penson are blood in the water, in my view. You would do best to stay away. http://www.investorclaims.com/blog/futures-broker-currency-dealer-sued-for-facilitating-cook-ponzi-scheme.cfm# ---------------------------------- PFG lacks the cash to settle this lawsuit and stands...

Friend, you should download and use the following FREE anti-malware: 1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2. SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition You can google search for these items, and DL for free. They are very helpful. When I got a trojan horse virus on my home cpu, it removed it as well...

Since you asked so nicely, here's a thought which you may utilize. When I was a broker I had some clients who wanted to trade energy spreads. So I would look at a chart of one crude contract minus the next one, e.g. CL-M2 minus CL-N2. This is charted and one can see the...
