IB customer service is utterly retarded and don't know shit imo. So you can trade Ag futures for the 30k seat? Why on earth would you need a full membership than. The COM membership is only options, but I'm not sure what options it allows you to do. Full membership is the only one that allows...

To get the discount on Ag futures, you need to lease a full membership. B2 only gives the discount to Ag options but not futures.

I hope this is trolling at its finest.

What part of the 30yr bond chart looks bearish? Have you guys looked at the daily/weekly chart of bonds? Unless you plan on holding and averaging down, I really doubt now is the time to be calling the low on interest rates. Germany has 1.8% or lower on 30year and Japan has a low 30yr rate too...

If you are using discretionary trades, it is best to have lax rules imo. Having too many steadfast rules is impossible to follow and causes unnecessary stress. The only concrete rules should be those for managing risk. If you have some system or signals, stick to the rules. Opportunity comes at...

I'm sure the seat prices correlate at least somewhat to the overall price of the stock indexes. Years where the market is going up, the price of seats follows, and years where the markets crash or go down, you can see the price of seats go down as well. That's how I view it anyway. I personally...

Are you putting in 300-500 lots in the es? If not, the liquidity means nothing. All it means is you can grow. I've heard 80% of ES volume is hft. It's not easily manipulated? How would you know, and what is your definition of manipulation? People are drawn to the ES because of its size, yet they...

Okay, well you can try zumo if you want. If your account is above 15k, you can use their platform for free, but I'm not so sure the charting good. You can't get everything for free. IB is only a good broker because of the wide range of securities and options they provide. Other than that, they...

Because your justification for why it works is because I make money so that's all that matters. People lose money on the ES because most traders just lose money in the first place. ES is also more choppy than other markets where most small traders imo love to play breakouts. I don't think there...

If you made so much money, you wouldn't keep asking to find a futures broker that gives you mediocre stuff for free. Advice isn't worth anything when it is extremely general. No one will profit from that advice. You basically said that markets won't go up forever so when it moves up really fast...

There are none. Where do you think these brokers are suppose to make their money from? Any good futures broker is focused on the front end and connectivity/speed and not about giving you free data. If it is "free", then the cost has been packaged into another part of the business. The futures...

Well considering that statements from futures brokers do not state the exact time when you bought or sold something. It would be hard for him to even do this.

You get a 85% credit for your margin, and CME uses the ratio of 2 NQ for 1 ES. I got my information from http://www.cmegroup.com/clearing/margins/inters.html#e=CME&a=EQUITY+INDEX&p=SP

So then wait until the end of summer and make a thread that says sell sell sell. How are you going to make a thread now and say it is time to sell but then go on to say it isn't time to sell yet? Makes total sense.

Thanks for posting that report.

$3,638.28 net profit. Yesterday I lost about $3,170. I didn't bother posting as I was utterly disgusted with my trading, as I even put trades on in ES, which I don't trade, and I had some stupid 10yr note trades. Stupid mistakes that I have learned from.

Do we call any fast drop a flash crash now? Anyway, I heard somebody sold 80k 10yr notes which caused it. I expect bonds to pull back up now as they have been doing for 30minutes. edit- guess i could be wrong on bonds keep going up. good thing you aren't forced to trade your ideas.

If this is true, leave IB. That is a joke to get fined like that without being warned. IB is notorious for horrible customer service/customer relations for a reason. The only good thing I hear about them now is they let you trade basically anything. Can get cheap commissions anywhere. IB isn't...
