    IB Crude Oil Margin Reqs

    Sorry if i've been rude. What i mean is that in any trading system a huge change on implied volatily with margin requirement should be taken in consideration as on this wild markets anything can happen. I mean, if you take the 4k margin requirement as usual you're one wild move away (like...

    A good trader shouldn't depend on these small margin req. hikes. I mean, if you hardly depend on that,you're doing something wrong.

    The Top of Oil

    May be the fed save the day for the CL shorts, who knows... So far we have a double top around 93.70 and a market pushing, anything can happen but i wouldn't short if the market closes above the prior high...

    Oil to $100 before the end of week!

    Don't be such girl, now the market retraces a little bit and you're blaming GS? I think the market was set for some correction with any trigger, the GS thing was just an excuse, anyway we still may have huge wild moves to the upside (and downside) left this year.

    In this business you can achieve 1% per week (or not, who knows), but you can achieve this only if don't expect to win any fucking dime in the week and you get what the market gives you to trade (no more, no less) I mean, newbie traders who came up with the idea of make (X MONEY, X %) per...

    [IB] Freezing your account for their benefit

    Money is liquid at IB. I transferred up to 1.5M in one day without no problem, even recently from different accounts, so liquidity is not an issue. Its usual that traders thinks the world are against them and that the broker for some reason wants to fuck you for some reason. The truth is...

    Iran sells oil in yen for Japan

    Yea, well.. Its amazing the believe that iranians have to sell their products in USD, picture MSFT being asked to sell their products on iranian or nigerian currency. Ridiculous, isn't?

    Sept. 18

    I guess that the market will sell as soon as bush speech starts to run (who knows from where 1474-1480-1485), many times it happened, many times will happen again. Of course i'm not trading guessing, i prefer to react to price

    Marc Cuban on Day Trading

    I agree with steve tvardek. Cuban speaks like an smart ass who think that he can speak of everything because he have some millions, but in the end, she knows shit about this.

    IB Margin requirements

    First of all i have to say that i prefer this kind of procedure over those brokers offering $500 /intraday margin or the classic "forex ad" saying that you can trade 200x margin. You know how these stories ends... Besides that, i guess IB freaks out with the ES movement on mid-Aug while we...

    Rimm Crashes To 82 - Why?

    Funniest thing about it is that the guy has no clue even when he is "claiming" to hold a couple of RIMM shares, and if RIMM would be trading -66% everyone will be talking about it.

    Ib Customer Support S U C K S !!!!

    Is not about the STP working wrong or problem for the customer setting up the device. Now if you add an ACH/Wire instruction or you just change a letter on your profile you have to call. Pretty annoying as the use of the device should be enough as proof i was placing the wire instruction...

    Mistake to short Friday's "Rally"?

    If you're short with a tight stop (tight on your on paramters) then you may have something here. (i mean good risk/reward ratio). I don't like to short that big hammer on weekly basis (on ES / Dow) but is totally possible for the market to vanish the friday movement when sellers get renewed...

    Massive move at 8:15

    Its pretty hard to find out a guy caught in a -40 point move that would admit such huge stop. Anyway, i think "pros" or "experienced traders" may thought that shorting after thursday's close wasn't the best idea, so, may be that's the reason none its making such big deal of it.
