    trading forex via Interactive Brokers

    I have questions too: What are spreads like on majors during important releases (NFP, FOMC minutes, GDP etc.) ? Do they stay constant although wider or anything goes (20,30, 100 pips ) ? Can you trade safely at market at all other times ? What are executions on stops like during...

    Looking for a Trading Partner or Prop Firm for trading capital, offering 5% daily

    IMHO, not being an option trader, anything other than real orders and execution in the option market is meaningless as basis for calculating performance. Thus hypothetical trades are pretty much worthless . I would not even trust IB paper account, not sure how it works, buit it sure doesn't...

    Where's deflation ? The Fed's double standard

    My point is the Fed and everybody else seems to look at the headline to determine whether there is deflation. But when it comes to determining if we have an appropriate level of inflation, then you are told you have to look at the CORE rate , because food and energy are volatile. Isn't that a...

    Does anyone use IB's Charts?

    You need to print out the 737 page TWS manual, look up on page 519- 577, you will find the info on the chart indicators . Don't forget to thoroughly study the introduction on how to start and close TWS and the first chapter on general settings . Without that you can forget about TWS, they are...

    Does anyone use IB's Charts?

    Does anyone use IB's Charts? NO . Nobody uses them. They got bored at IB , didn't know what else to add to TWS so they got that idea. The guys in software development are the only ones playing around with it and they aren't sure how all the functions work either.

    Where's deflation ? The Fed's double standard

    It's simply not true to say people wait for lower prices. That doesn't happen in electronics for example. People fall all over themselves to get the lastest gizmo even if you tell them that if they waited 2 weeks they would get it 10% cheaper. As for wages, aren't they sticky ? They don't...

    Where's deflation ? The Fed's double standard

    I was just looking at the core CPI over the course of this year and apparently it stayed positive all year on a yoy basis. Yet the media kept reporting earlier this year we had deflation . Of course the headline plunged with commodity prices but I find questionable that the Fed and economists...

    Looking for a Trading Partner or Prop Firm for trading capital, offering 5% daily

    oK since this thread is drawing so much attention, I will say that if you have money sitting around at 0%, ME TOO, I can trade for ya ! For 30% of profits (negotiable). 50% annual compounded since 06. 1500% since 03. Not a demo, small FX account, so realistically I would say 10-20%...

    Amazing Pictures, Pollution in China

    I don't even want to look. Personally I am boycottying China, obviously that's often times impossible to do since everywhere I buy clothes or sporting goods they seem to be made in China nowadays. And they do make good quality items. But to what cost ? This is sickening . It is still a...

    Looking for a Trading Partner or Prop Firm for trading capital, offering 5% daily

    why do you need 100K ? If you make 5% a day no drawdown or very little you can start with any amount pretty much, how much is IB minimum ? 2K ? 20K would be plenty enough. You''de be millionaire in no time ! Not that I don't believe you, but two months is not much. And from experience...

    Why I stop consuming

    Realistically I will have to update and will want to , one day, but I certainly don't have to do it on a regular basis and shouldn't be forced to do it because of decisions of marketing dept in corporations. The current state of development of IT more than satisfies me. I hope you realize...

    Why I stop consuming

    Modern life , the consumption lifestyle is becoming insane ! For the consumer life is becoming ever closer to slavery, consuming is taking so much of your time that you find yourself working for, not just paying, those companies you patronize. They show total disrespect for you, and your...

    Spitzer: Federal Reserve is ‘a Ponzi scheme, an inside job’

    Spitzer is a hero. He was taken down by his political enemies because he was on his way to the White House. I still don't understand why a guy in his position had to use escort girls when as a governor he could probably pick up more than decent broads without spending $100 000 on them and with...

    China may pass on IMF gold

    I think there is a good chance that India will end up being the proverbial sucker just as the sovereign funds were in 07. Gold is likely to go higher in the short run, but you can be sure that the higher it rises the harder it will fall.

    It's official : Bernanke has lost his mind

    The FOMC members have lost their mind by signaling to the world that no worries, the current speculation fest can continue "for an extended period of time". They could have at least refused to give an outright greenlight to speculators and carry traders, refused to condone the return of the...
