Didn't realize Goldman changed its name. LOL. Cramer does what?? What kind of loss again? LOL just having fun.

I have IB FX Trader up but only have used the regular TWS to enter orders. Seems TWS is sufficient for my trades. I'll give the FX Trader a shot one of these days.

LOL It'll be just after the scene from the movie "Trading Places" -- "Turn those machines back on and SELL! SELL!! SELL !!!" (Instead this time Buffett yelling to Charlie Munger...) Then we all bears can cover all shorts and go long everything.

Cable / anyone: I'm trading w/ IB IdealPro and it seems to work fine for my trading right now. For something like EURUSD, using futures is an option (which I have used before.) CAD.USD futures also seem to trade w/ narrow spreads. Question is whether one is preferred (futures vs. spot) over...

Yes I managed not to get shaken out of the USD.CAD trade and am out now. Thanks for the link re: leverage -- I'll check it out.

Anyone here trading USD.CAD? I am long w/ target 1.1898 but am tempted to cash in given the swings. Also, What level of leverage do you take? 5 x ? 10 x ? 20 x ? Anything more that 10 times seems rather aggressive -- but who knows seems there are some big risk takers here. This...

Thanks Cable. I'll give it a try.

Just a quick question guys.. Anyone here trading FX thru IB's IdealPro? Is there any disadvantages? Thanks.

I hear you. I missed the AM short and was behind all day -- shorting and then see it whip back up-- Long and it felt like breaking down under me. I also missed a cover sitting at ES 835.50 buy( low was 835.75 that swing )-- talking about "no cigar." Yep Lost some money today trying too hard...

Huge moves in EUR GBP CAD ... GBP bid-offer too wide. I always wondered about that. just trade EUR

Thanks for that link. I really enjoyed it.

Any source?

Same here... captured the initial move down for 11 ES points on the short side...then try shorting more rallies a few times and had to cover for peanuts. Too bad didn't see the monster rally early on because I had Bear tatooed in my head..crap! Should have known better. At least glad I was...

This is a very exciting market and at the same time a dangerous one especially if you don't keep your downside risk in check.... this is true regardless whether you are long or short. So far being bearish and selling these monster rallies has worked well. I think it should still work. On...

Well said plunger.

Didn't he go long in March also ? When did he sell those puts?

BRK-A up just 2.6% on a day SPX rocketed 10.8% probably nothing but one has to wonder... My take: Mkt went up on short covering and not real new investments -- i..e., Looks like another opportunity to short tomorrow afternoon.

Hey Mr. Smartypants, thanks for posting that 10Q -- ok if I got it right, his derivative liabilities have gone up about 1.6B in 6 months to 6/08. Mkt's biggest drops happened after this report. So I would assume his losses have grown significantly in the latest qtr. My main point is that...

I was looking through low priced stocks today and noticed many miners (silver, gold) around a dollar or less. Looked at some charts--seems they were taken out back and shot. Anyone know of these: WITM OZN CGLD NSU KRY UXG NXG GSS AZK TRE NAK SIL Don't know any fundamentals...
