Hmmm. If anyone is planning on trading the options the problem will be maintaining charting for whichever option is being the most actively traded as it will switch around. Anyone got any input on this? (he asks hopefully)

Just want to register my appreciation of IB providing data free wherever possible rather than trying to nickle and dime its customers. Much appreciated and noted.

3 phones? Do you have the phones wired up so that if one is engaged it trips over to the next?. (I have seen this as a cheapo dealing room setup. What happens is there is a blackhole the incoming calls fall into if one of the phone jacks is pulled out fof the wall - just rings and rings at his...

Just came across this on local website - may be the solution for someone out there. Strange as it seems, but if you're having unusual bandwidth disruptions or outright connection failures -- and you're using a UPS battery backup with telephone line surge suppression/line-filtering, ...AND...

Does anyone know where I can get forecasts of dividend as amount or % for whole index for the Asian markets. (need for calculating program trade trigger levels). On EWJ, have not run correlations but from eyeballing it seems to track whichever market is moving the strongest.

Tops and end of bottoms. High priced paper gives the currency to do deals at the top and as incremental return on capital decreases companies start to look for economies of scale and making up for organic growth shortfalls through growth through acquisition. At the turning point from a...

"Monday looks pretty good." Yipee

One trades on Singapore and the other on Osaka.

Was talking about an overseas market where 70-80% of volume is retail. That said as Iunderstand it around 50% of US vol is now hedge funds who probably trade more like retail than like mutual funds. Same applies in bull markets I guess where fund inflows from Walt & Irma drive a lot of it.

As someone noted in another thread there seem to be fewer and fewer traders on ET. Most of the new posts do not strike me as being started by traders. Markets cycle between extremes where almost anybody can make money and extremes where almost nobody can make money.

I am still doing stocks but my focus is on automation/scanning for what I would be looking for manually. Trying to trade off this outpout without e.g watching the book/price action won't work in anything but a bull market, but I will be able to reduce the effort:return when the market is...

Didn't read the article but I use technicals to pick up price action from fundamental information not yet in the public domain but being acted on. If you are an analyst in other markets company releases/filings are virtually your sole source of useable information. The press releases come out at...

About USD100k including primary residence. Maybe about USD1m in today's money or what you might expect from a small[publishing] business owner. The other thing is that Gann owned seats and traded for his own account through them for his own and managed money so his track record is verifiable...

You will absolutely do the wrong thing at the wrong time and you will know when you are doing it that it is wrong but you will do it anyway. Thanks. I thought it was just me!

Doesn't exactly reek of legitimacy does it? Here is a link to the scripts used by groups that were operating out of Thailand. Might want to ask yourself if any of this sounds familiar. http://www.sec.or.th/en/educate/alert/boiler/trouble.shtml Alternatively, if anyone is thinking of...

Just to avoid confusion the above post under my name is a cut and paste of something posted on ET previously by Cutten. I also thought it was a great post and cut and pasted it so that I could print it out.

By Martin Hayes LONDON, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The big loss-making short position that a Chinese trader is said to have built up in copper futures will not cause the London Metal Exchange (LME) to melt down, although its brokers could end up out of pocket. Trades on the LME are...

I think all laid off blue collar workers should stage a patriotic rally in copper just to stiff the Chinese. I think the Shanghai sales are just a bluffing tactic. On a serious note, one issue if they don't deliver the copper is who was the broker? Seems there is a view that they might say...

Cuttens post continued Further points - bigger moves. If you are the type to not scalp, but rather go for 10+ tick moves, then you still need to be aware of scalping considerations. No point catching a 15 tick swing if you give up 4 ticks on entry and exit, and lose 8 ticks when you're wrong...
