same here --fine --but have in the past got disconnects

has anyone heard anything about the margins for these contracts???

fxsol lists contract sizes of 1k, 5k etc etc up to 100k can you vary contract size??? or do you have to choose the size when you open the account

They offer 400:1 leverage. That is hefty --never seen it so high. Interesting, can you switch lot size on the fly from 100k to say 10k?? or do you have to put in paperwork to change your lot size??

what video cards are you using???

Maria is upset that she is being upstaged by the new Cnbc hottie from Bloomberg (Barnette??? is that her name --I don't turn the sound on). Word is Maria gave Bernake a BJ to get in the door. She is trying to get back in the good graces of the street.

The Mexicans are here because the guys at the top want them here. When the bullets start flying --we will see how much the Democrats, Republicrats and the Corporats like bean burritos. This will split up the country. Bush thinks he can unite the US and Canada and Mexico into one block ---well...

My point is simple and there is nothing dumb about it. You can have open border or anything you want but NOT with a welfare state. Comparing life to tides is idiotic. Life can be ENDED quite easily---TIDES HAVE NEVER BEEN ENDED. Invasions/Migrations have been turned back time and time again.

America is a country of immigrants! LOL that is BS. Every country is a country of immigrants. People do NOT grow out of the dirt. Everyone in Japan migrated there ---ages ago. But at what point did they stop becoming a country of immigrants?? When they shut doors behind them! If America...

Ok kids. I just read one of my favorite bloggers. He was part of the Reagan administration back in the day and he is provocative and definitely racist (so all minors leave the room --I don't want to you to get your panties soiled). As someone that was raised around way to much communism, I...

I have not been able to find the settings.xml file. That contral alt thing does not work for me. Although, I am not known for my tech proficiency is there a way to do it in Windows explorer???

Everyone should start complaining to IB so they will add the RICI contract. It is supposedly on the list of 'things to do" for them. IB sound off on the RICI.

sorry it did not post them both here is the RICI

DBC is a narrow basket and the RICI is very broad. However, they are close beta's of one another. The DBC only has like 4 commodity sectors in it and the RICI has every commodity sector and then some. Rogers has also done specialized commodity sector indexes that are not as broad like a...

Jimmy, I have used every broker you could name and many others you could not. I opened an IB account for stocks and have found them to be great. There are alot of IB customers. In fact a ton of them on these boards and if they were really bad ----you would be hearing a lot more than a...

IdealPro is a an ecn. There can always be problems in 'fast markets'. Traders of late have become spoiled. All those that have been around (I have been trading since about 94) have seen all kinds of wild stuff. You have to roll with the punches. If you are scalping forex ---and your account...

IB trades every Trakkr but the RICI. However, they are supposed to be adding it. You can buy it at any futures broker with a Globex connection in theory at least. IB does not have it for accounting reasons.

I believe there will be a big setback and that is when I will really pile in. Unless you think they are going to stop printing dollars or that there will be a radical repricing overnight ---then there is nothing to stand in the way of a big commodity bull market. This one should continue...

U can buy a basket of called the Rogers Raw Materials index on the CME. It is a trakker that trades like a stock but is listed like a futures. It is long dated---expiration is October 2010. Also the etf DBC is a commodity play. Of course these are not pure commodity futures but commodity...

WRONG about Weds. I finally got in and the market data light was red and all the setting etc were wiped out. I pulled up Weds --and the windows rearanged themselves correctly but the market data light was still RED and my quote lines were gone!!! no symbols!!! WTF!!! I am done for the...
