My mother tongue - Ingrishu.

Gaijin usually means Caucasian foreigner, sometime just foreigner, sometimes it just means non-Japanese. It's funny when I hear Japanese talking about all the gaijins everywhere when they are in a foreign country! Japanese can never be foreigners. Sensei means...

This firm charges $1.50 per 100. Not bad and no day trading restrictions AFAIK. http://objectivetrading.com/investment/contact.php

Any more info on WTS would be nice. Do tell, thanks.

I currently pay a good rate of 2.40 per side for NQ (that's I.B.s all-in rate), but as an active trader those commissions add up to a big heap of money at the end of the day. Was wonderin if I could do better than this? I know some prop firms also offer e-minis but so far they haven't...

Is it just me or is their site down? I'm getting "PLESK" page? Scary. Thanks.

PBW PBD GEX Any others?

I did have a go at Japanese and Australian stocks but found it much harder to find good trades. And the commissions are much higher as well. Also, you can't short Japanese ones AFAIK (at lease I couldn't with the broker I used). I guess you are more of a swing trader then? Do you also short...

Lower commissions, higher leverage, no temptation to hold overnight, faster trades, connected directly to the market, lower capitalization for the same leverage circumventing that stupid PDT rule, and better sharper software. I currently use I.B. but when I look back at my commissions it seems...

OK, thanks, that's one that I can cross off my list. Who do you trade through? Do you also have a day job?

Yes, there are comedy production places that focus on that sort of thing, very popular here. Very similar to "jackass" humor/pranks. But I don't think I've ever seen any "sharking" - sounds like one of those isolated incidences that sticks and grows all by itself. Thanks for the replies and...

Same here, I'm in Japan. Cheers.

Can anyone recommend a prop trading firm that allows me to trade remotely from Japan without the licensing requirements? I can put up capital. Thanks.

cstfx, I'm in Japan, but I was also out of action. Did both not fail?

Is it just a coincidence that this happened when many staff are likely to be on holidays? There must be just a few key I.T. guys there holding the whole thing together during regular times. Jeez. And those guys are going to be getting some big pay raises next year!

Haha, here's a funny story for you guys. Just a few minutes ago I entered a long ZG trade, and for the first time in years I put in a stop loss order too, just in case, I exited my trade manually and forgot about the stop loss, it triggered and got me short, I then scored 5 ticks on it. Funny...

Anybody else feel very hesitant to trade now? Hesitation is my worst enemy and now he's gotten a whole lot stronger.

DRYS was up nicely a short while ago? Did somebody hit the sell button hard?

People keep posting "down in ..... too". Well, if the servers are screwed then it'll be down everywhere, right? By the way, down in Japan too, means Hong Kong servers are busted too. There, now I'm a hypocrite.

Can you (or anyone) tell us more about the trading course by Harvey Walsh. Thanks.
