In the list that you are referring to (If i'm correct in assuming it's taken from morningstar.com), they are long positions only.

Do you mind sharing which thread that was, I'd like to read up on it. Thanks

Are you guys going to keep supporting xtrader as a desktop based platform because I do not like the new TT and have no intention of switching. IMO it's trying to over simplify everything, it might be good for hobby traders that want to log in from their phones (which by the way I've been able to...

Ah gotcha, maybe you should forward some of the advice given here because I feel like he's about to make another big mistake by giving the broker another 100k

I wouldn't touch your wife's money, they might not even sue or go after you, they're partly to blame anyways. I believe Oanda forgave their customer deficits when the swiss/usd exploded earlier this year. You shouldn't have been shorting biotech in the first place, granted you are new, but...

In answer to the OP's question: personally I would say the average small trader, especially day traders, systematically loose because even if they manage to be right half the time , commissions, mistakes and emotions will erode any edge they may have. However those that manage to stay in the...

Along the same lines, there's a great documentary called The Corporation. It's worth a watch but to sum it up it compares the profit driven corporation to a psychopath. Capitalism is great on one hand but not so great for sustainability of the earth's resources.

Yeah right, I use TT Xtrader, and I'm pretty sure my stop market order is being held at the exchange, but I will verify this. So so far the only thing that makes a difference in execution between the two is the time it was recieved by the exchange, so priority is based on the time recieved. I...

Yes that's right, I forgot to mention that. Let's just say both orders in all those scenarios are triggered at the same time because a trade occurs at 100.00, but the orders were placed when we were trading at 90.

Trying to get to the bottom of this, let me start of by giving the following scenarios. Scenario 1: You send a stop MARKETt order to globex at 7:30 at price of 100.00 You send a stop LIMIT order to globex at 7:31 at price of 100.00. Who gets filled first? Scenario 2: You send a stop LIMIT...

-Job cuts would mean a decrease in supply = theoretically oil should go up. -Iranian oil flood = price should go down -slower china growth = oil should go down -interest rates rise or weak euro = stronger usd = oil goes down -political tension/possible war in syria = oil should go up -Interest...

Naka, I switch tasks when the markets I follow go dead around the asian session (afternoons). So I dont have to worry about trading.

They left because of many reasons, some didn't respect the risks, some were ballsy then ended up being afraid after the market taught them a lesson, some didn't adapt well enough. And keep in mind that most didn't "blow up" in a massive loss of capital, more so gradual declines in profitability...

We trade futures not stocks and we get to choose our platform, currently use Xtrader pro.

Currently 6 others in our office, there used to be more but they got flushed out by the market. We help each other out all the time, most offices arent as collaborative as ours or so I hear.

My trading station. Right 9 screens are for trading, top is bloomberg, the left 6 screens are for R&D and for my programmer.

Account stop loss = bad idea Think of may 6th 2010 flash crash and aug 21 of this year. Todays algo driven environment is more likely to create these flash crashes, and probably more of these mini flash crashes will occur in the future especially in etfs and stocks. Even liquid futures are...

I just want to say a few words on TA and why it can work but also not work. 1.Everyone sees the same pattern/support resistance lines. This means that stops will be congregated around the same areas. You can use these movements to profit in either direction. Novice traders are usually the ones...

I already researched this extensively and for a 40" screen you need to get a 4k monitor. Dont get anything smaller or much bigger than 45. Lg makes some good 40inch 4k screens that are pretty cheap check them on amazon they are less than 1000 dollars and ive seen them as low as 600ish. They key...

Cqg does have stock data. You just have to pay for the data.
