hello guys, Am in contact with IB about the value of open stock orders somebody can have in the account and that is not clear yet. IB monitors in real time and will cancel open limit orders when the account get more and more fully invested. In Margin Requirements, click on Calculations it...

hello folks, About 2-3 years ago I traded Canadian penny stocks under 5 cents and paid for market depth for TSX to IB. The market depth IB showed was not correct and only the GTC orders or day orders were displayed. I would like to trade the Canadian penny stocks again and is IB`s market...

hello folks, would like to trade the Canadian penny stocks (under 5 cents). where can I find the company disclosures concerning financial reports, capital raisings etc.? and is that available free or do you have to pay a subscription? now to see every order in market depth...... when...

terminator, seeing that you`re from Oz why not invest with Prime Value Asset Management. they are the best: even with this downturn, up 15.7% pa since 1998.

I had it too that my MIT order didnt activate. say your stop price is 12609 and the market goes 12607, 12608 and then jumps to 12610, 12611 and on and on, then your stop price has never been touched and your order is still sitting there.:mad:

hi folks, In Order Defaults you can choose Open/close. what is this exactly??? thanks:)

thanks EH, but doesn`t seem to have the weekly statistics.....:eek:

hi folks, would anybody know of a site, where I could get a weekly performance table for ETF`s? thanks:)

sorry neke, just couldnt download your stuff. after a big correction you wouldnt need another 300k in cash for margin calls. would buy after a big fall of 25-30% or whatever and would wait for a slow/steady recovery of about 5% before buying those futures. its unlikely that the...

the better fundamental traders will surely have an opinion about the market. only the purely technical traders will have no opionion.

hi folks, thanks for your contributions. sofar nobody has said that the whole exercise is flawed and the only thing people are doubtful about is the leverage. but are people not buying futures everyday? I think if the basics hold, then the return is actually understated. you buy...

I was expecting somebody to shoot a hole in my reasoning. yes, must say I`m a bit of a gambler and if I know that eventually I would get out on top, I wouldn`t mind. would have another 100k in reserve though. :)

yeah, thats the trouble. nobody got patience these days.:)

hi folks, maybe this topic has been covered before. the performance of S&P500 is on average 10.8% per year. es sept 07 $ 1,459.75 - es sept 08 $ 1503.75, so interest minus dividend around 3%. so you invest $ 100,000 - buy contracts valued at $ 909,000 return on investment on...

I`m really stoked will all your responses gentlemen. now as to price. Darvas didn`t want to enter low-priced stocks. partly because the brokerage was a lot higher (not a reason today), but also those lower priced stocks jumped around too much. sometimes those stocks are 3/4 times their...

trend_guy, brandonf, eshmama, I`m curious how you guys would enter a trade. still Darvas` way of a break-out from the top box OR a pull back from the all-time high, forming the low of the new box on lower volume and resuming the trend towards the high on increasing volume - do you...

hook, maybe Darvas was blissfully ignorant and surely never heard of back testing and back testing and more back testing?:)

rhino, darvas wrote several books. you can download 1 free at wikipedia. its certainly an easy start on your trading journey.:cool:

ehsmama, thank you for your post. you`re the first one who thinks that Darvas` method is very risk averse. generally people will say that he placed almost all of his money in a single/couple of stocks with all the dangers inherent with a strategy like that. what if it gaps down beyond...

no, more like the rock stars: drugs, sex and charts:p
