Hi Mark, I'm in retail business, and live in South Florida. One of our businesses is renting Budget trucks. First of all, TN, and NC are considered to be two of the most beautiful, friendly, and affordable Southern states. We have sent out more moving trucks to TN, and NC than any other...

I agree, also. There are better brokers out there for trading US eminis. Schaefer

My take is, he was on full margin, but barely enogh to cover the contracts, then market tanked, he figured as soon as RTH margin kicks in, he'd be able to absorb the losses, and still keep his open positions. But day margin never kicked in, so his positions got liquidated. Another case of...

You can have the cake, and eat it too with Infinity. It is essentially Transact, but no minimum volume requirements. Schaefer

You missed a few: AMT4SWA Buy1Sell2 No PM Please Schaefer :)

You could thank Proflogic. But since he's not here, I'll take his credit :D Schaefer

Here ya go Puppy: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80582&perpage=6&highlight=tick&pagenumber=5 When you have read the whole thing, lay out your favorite instrument using time chart, tick chart, range chart, and volume charts, and see if you could spot the...

Thanks Def, I hope they get approved. Please keep us posted. Schaefer

Supposedly, to be approved by our CFTC, that particular foreign instrument must submit application to CFTC, and meet the guide lines laid out by CFTC. And one of the guide lines is to give the CFTC $200,000 in application fees :p Apparently, Hang Seng Mini did not feel the need to give CFTC...

I'm sorry about the misinformation, STW is traded via Singapore Exchange (SGX), and IS AUTHORIZED for US residents to trade. Anyone wondering, which products are available for US residents to trade, here's the link on IB's website for more info...

Useful indeed, thank you. Schaefer

Hi Kiwi, Thank you for your advice. The STW is out of the question, as it is not on IB's authorized list for US residents. The same with Hang Seng Mini also. I'm going to have to do some research on KOSPI. Regards, Schaefer

Thank you Learner, PM on the way. Schaefer

Code a Paintbar, and set up an alert. Sure, you won't be able to code it to perfection, as if you were watching it like a hawk. But it will at least get your attention. Schaefer

Hi Learner, I'm glad you'd remembered. Yes, I have switched over to HK server, and started trading the N225M, since October of last year. I'm still a bit frustrated with the N225M, since my strategies on the eminis are based mainly on NQ, YM and Euro. The price action on the Nikkei is very...

Mine was fine as well :) Schaefer

No need for the Turbo Tax Premier, the Deluxe version has it. The form that you need is Form 6781 for 1256 contracts. If you trade futures exclusively, then no need for a CPA, it's extremely simple, unlike equities, and options of course :) Schaefer

IB 1099 by end of day Jan 31st via Acct. Mngmt. Schaefer

It should be an interesting journal as long as you post lots of cool charts, commentaries, reasonings, and of course the P&L :D Looking forward to it, Schaefer

I second that. The good: extremely liquid, and perfect time zone for Eastern timers. The margin is tiny (perfect for pikers, ie: me :D ). The bad: The range is small due to 5 tick minimum movement increments. Mostly dominated by scalping Japanese housewives, lots of churning there, hence the...
