Cant trade corn or beans because IB charges $55 for CBOT data, which will not include bid or ask meaning I cant get charts. So I looked at mini silver which trades at $1 per tick. The problm is.......the spread is 14 ticks. That is a lot to overcome. I dont mind holding for a day or two at...

Risking no more than 2-5% of your account on any given trade is the best hedge.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to follow mini corn and mini silver to see how they trade. I am not sure why it was recommended that I trade them overninght though. I will also look into oanda...but will their prices match up with the data I get from IB? And I am in the USA so cant...

I have a problem. I am using a method I have complete confidence in that allows me to trade with a tight stop. The problem is, I have to be perfect due to small account size. The method tracks depth of market participation cycles and compares them across a few timeframes. If you nail a trade...

Trade 10 share lots with Interactive brokers at $1 per trade. Yeah you will lose a few bucks becuase commission will eat up most winnings, but if you cant make points trading a $500 account, why would you do better with a $10,000 account. Then incementally size up......maybe every time you...

So what vehicles allow you to risk $30 per trade and a reasonable chance of making $100 per day? You cant do that with stocks any more due to that stupid day trading rule requiring an account of $25K.

So the flip side of that question....in addition to bonds.....which markets are currently the best to trade?

toc...........do you like coffee?

tick and volume charts dont have time..........

Your stop is 1 penny?????

Ym is making a lower high on the daily charts and this up cycle is weekening and should end in a day or two. The last down cycle on my biggest chart took YM down to 10740 (about 500 points). The next down cycle should start by the end of the week. This is whatt I expect for the next few...

Actually...I should not use the term "money flow". I just watch cylcles of depth of market participation.....and compare them across a few different time frames to stay with the bigger trends.

There is now way to tell what it is that actually moves the markets. Money flows into and out of markets in cycles. We are still in a rising money flow environment on my longer charts but that looks to be nearing an end. I just buy as the money starts to cycle in, which will be near the...

The markets were oversold on 911....now they are overbought....still, on the monthly chart. Thats the difference. 911 isnt what sent the market down. World events will accelerate the fall but are not the sole reason they are falling now.

Since you were short.......you would now be up 14%. Just saw you have to be long....why? I like this idea in that it gives you $40k or so to trade risk free, but why would you have to be long?

GOOG is headed to 367....maybe even 337.

Cant imagine Goog going past $500...... Nothing wrong with that, a lot of good companies trade at less than $500 a share.

Ok but what if the market in US goes down to 597 and Indian market doesnt move much? I guess that is the risk. It seems like its worth a look. I am just not terribly well suited to trading in seconds 50 times a day but I will report back in a few weeks. The office will be opening around...

My admittedly very limited experience with arbitraging was done with one market though. I started trading in the early day trading fiasco where you could say buy intel on Island for $45 and sell it to Goldman for $45.10. (admittedly extreme example) But how would this work with two...
