just another site that takes advantage of the gullible in my humble opinion

Another example; Within 1 minute, the ES goes down 15 times, but there were also 7 upticks within the same minute. Then the most I risked in this minute was the single deepest low (-20 points), and NOT a cumulative low (all 15 downticks combined)? On a 4k margin per emini, I would not...

What? where do I go read up to find out what margin has to do with mini; what does it matter if I have 500 or 10k per mini???? i still only loose 250$ if it is 5 point loss?

First of all, I would like to thank you both for being kind enough to reply. Secondly, I'm gonna go read up more, cause I didn't understand anything either of you posted. --- let's say I have a 10k account, and do 1 contract (1 lot?) of ES e-mini. Buy at 1191, sell (close position?) at...

I don't understand (haven't read enough yet, obviously), let's take todays high&low high 1193.00 Low 1186.00 open 1191.50 so up until now (today), the worst you could of done is lose 5.50 points right? and 5.50 points is worth 275$ don't tell me it is 5.5 x tens of thousands of...

If you don't have anything usefull to add, the least you can do is not appear to be an arse.

yeah, I would also like to know that and more. I receive my emini quotes through alphatrade and altough the last trade is updated as fast as 1 second, i'm wondering if the information I receive is the information everyone else gets. Or is there a delay between the order executing computers...

www.oanda.com website is not loading. did they go bust? a lot of links i click on ET are dead....

cool...but what's a T-bill :D

that's wonderfull !

What are intial and maintenance margins? please be gentle :) Does it mean you need to have both amounts as backup in your account at all times?

can someone comfirm this?

their website says otherwise, but I'v read numberous (and recent) accounts on eltiretrader where they say it is $4.80 so don't be alarmed, but if you trade a lot, perhaps you can negotiate your price

thank you so much, so that is how much in fees it will cost me, now, how much would the NQ at 1477 cost me? 1477$ + 1.65$ to buy 1 share ?

Quebec, Montreal (home of IB)

Because they don't need me, but I need them, so I "bow" before them, and sometimes even "tremble". Do you know of any other places that treat canadians well? Most other places won't even let you write Canada in the country field.... I won't bother hoping them sending me my required annual...

Good morning all :D I obviously visited IB's website and looked at all the fees, but didn't quite understand everything. Let's say I want tp purchase (1) e-mini contract of (1) "NQ" trading at 1477. What will be my total costs for that transaction under a non-professional individual...
