A job is different, you do your job and at the end of the day you are paid. Doesn't work like this in our line of work as you know. Now I say if you make money effortlessly and lots of it and reasonably expect it to continue for some time then great , but we suspect there may be only a few...

Why do you guys even trade ? If you are a US citizen you pay 35%taxes on stocks or a blend of long term and short term rate for futures, with the odds of making money against you to begin with , why waste your time ? I trade because I don't pay taxes , if I had to pay 35% , pff I would just...

on NYSELIFFE? wtf ! I am not getting quotes and it looks like the trading venue is no longer ECBOT but NYSELIFFE. Did they just kill a great product ?

this thread is obviously for newbies by newbies. No way you can make a living with this kind of money . Yeah you can make a living for a while maybe but that's not enough to build on. Then there is the luck factor, sure there must be some traders out there who parlayed 30k into millions, but...

what's the deal ? There have been mini accounts since 2003 when I got interested in FX, it's pretty much pocket change , you can make lots of it but a living ? So micro accounts ?

One question comes to my mind when I started lurking on here after some time away... why so many new registered users and how did you get started ? Haven't you heard trading is a losing game yet ? And hasn't every inexperienced trader involved with stocks got crushed in the past 12 months ...

CRAZY MARKETS, THEY SHOPULD REALLY GO BACK TO FIXED EXCHANGE RATES, THESE GYRATIONS ARE SICKENING FOR EVERYBODY. IN THE MEANTIME I AM FORCED TO SPECULATE IN CURRENCIES AND THANKFULLY WAS LONG EURO AND AUSSIE , BUT AFTER BEING SHAKEN OUT OF A BIG CHUNK OF MY POSITION AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH

He's not blowing up at all, what are you talking about ? If anything he's up huge today with his treasurys holdings. And he's been right about shorting gold til today, my bet is h'es covering right now. He's a great investor and very entertaining to listen to for sure, he just sucks at...

I am not so concerned about the dollar amount I may lose on the stock, I kept some shares so I wouldn't lose sight of their stock performance. Obviously I am concerned about the health of their business. That said, if I were one of their fans who put part of their portfolio in the stock I would...

Whats going on with their stock ? I still own 50 shares that I thought I would keep to monitor their health but frankly even at 50 shares I am pissed off at the loss. Even MF is going up these days! What is behind this continued grind lower ? And does IBKR have any edge in the space to...

uptick rule ? why not, ain't gonna solve all the problems but there shouldn't be such rule, or else a downtick rule as well. M2M needs to repealed in its current form imo, it's bringing down the system thereby creating a self fulfilling prophecy

I suppose you are aware of contango in crude , heard there is a better vehicle, USL. But whyn buy crude now ? Same with Russia, they are untouchable imo . Own some in my portfolio, never again . With the KGB man in control, anything is possible.

Mark to market has created a self fulfilling prophecy. All markets have collapsed following the credit market turmoil , credit ratings were destroyed further with the stockmarket collapse, and the credit crunch got worse, companies went out of business sending thousands to collect unemployment...

coz they are a bit sick in the head or come across as such

I am just sick and tired of this market that keeps going down, this is big scam just as $140 crude oil was. Market is very near being most oversold ever . According to Dick Bove, the default rate on subprime is only 3% and 1% or so for the rest. What's going on is a wholesale liquidation of...

These COF people are crooks. Does that mean all your balance is charged a 29% interest ? Glad I live in Europe where this is not allowed. Just wait, Obama is gonna make this illegal expecially if there is any chance it will affect the economy.

TWS is way , way too complex. The people who have worked on its design or made the decisions in the past 3 years are obviously idiots.

that was a joke obviously ! But I wonder why someone in Europe would be dealing with IB "India" . Talking about India, I recently ordered $600 worth of stuff on Amazon A to Z stores and got only $200 worth ofgoods and Amazon went dead after they reimbursed me for one of the item , the least...
