it's up 4% today as of now.. may have caused the HSI to jump up 100 points in less than a minute.. hope the volume picks up quickly.. it's definitely not liquid enough for trading at the moment.. def..may be IB could consider extending the comission offer till volume picks up...

Just in terms of comission, they have definitely lost it.. they are offering a global product, but the locals everywhere are beating them at the comission game. their fee struture is way too inflexible.. I don't believe that I should pay the same comission if I am trading 100 lots and...

I don't understand this pre-trading concept. so is it actually trading or is it just a period to enter your bid and ask orders? if it trades, Is it better to avoid the period because of whipsaws?

carrying on.. if you only trade b4 14:30 CET, it's better to have a profit target or it's better to let the market take you out of the trade by a trailing stop? fx: mind telling me how is eurex us going to affect trading on the eurex. I thought it's more a threat to the e-mini's..

thanks..fx..that was very helpful.. one more thing, does it have something to do with the e-mini and the s&p open? (it opens at 8:30, right?, I am not sure, cause I trade foregin markets) . as your said, It gets real choppy around 14:30,definitely a "dead-zone" for trading, so when do you...

I really regret choosing economics as my major, should have done some hard science..I am quite certain a MBA wouldn't help much either... I don't have the background knowleage to get into this kind of stuff...

yes..a monte carlo analysis is illumaniating but it doesn't represent reality given that trades have serial correlation. a monte carlo analysis gives a random distribution but the markets are certainly not random, so mc only be used as a guide. If the markets follow a fat-tailed, thin...

becareful of what u wish for, because you might just get what u want? I have always thought to aim high in trading .$800/day is way too low a expectation.. if you want to quit your current job for $800/day 'job', I don't think it's a improvement.. your attitude should be" you...

I think everyone who trades the system has the same problem I struggle with it for a long time and still battling today, and I have doing it for years.. the final solution is to let someone else automate it for you. that's will solve all your discipline problem.. I personally...

and this leads to my second most important trading rule and I know this is just going to piss everybody off, the dillema is this rule only works if 80% majority traders disagree with it. rule2 : trade against technical analysis. do u feel a strong compulsion to start calling me names...

hmm.. ok..let's play with your example and see what where the fallacy is if the trading rules of 70% of the traders is to "buy when price cross above 200ma and vice versa" so If price penertrates the 200ma, I would be looking for a oppuntunity to short, but I still don't have a...

the most important rule is to go against the trading rules of the majority

I asked myself the same question b4 I started trading this is the ultimate reality check and most people doesn't want to face reality. I would think 95% of traders who failed didn't or didn't want to think about the question b4 they start, because the honest answer in 95% of...

HSI can be pretty crazy sometimes.. Just a few days ago, It sat there doing nothing for the morining and the early afternoon, then all out of a sudden, it crash 150 minutes 30 minutes b4 the close and then miraclously, recover all that losses in the final 10 minutes and makes a new...
