There are DAX and Eurostoxx traders here, and people who have posted about dabbling with the Hang Seng index. All these are available through Interactive Brokers, or any other broker really. The prices for the intraday exchange data, contract, and amount of margin you need will depend on what...

if you need to trade more than two markets, then button trader is the way to go with IB.

I'd say the odds on that were not exactly 100%

That wasn't my experience. They had tests, but the tests were very basic, and even as a new trader, I didn't have any problems with them.

yeah, but I never took econ 101. I guess I should clarify: do these cuts get priced into forex pairs the same way they get priced into the futures markets? Thanks in advance, Newbie

actually, if I may ask a related question: what happens to the usd/cad if the fed cuts 50bps? or the usd/eur?

well, we go down, and there might be a cheer on the floor, just like there was when Bernanke cut 50bp. 115% chance of a 25bp cut, 57% chance of a 50bp cut. A lot of money is transferred when the fed surprises people, I'm told.

You could always log into your real account and paper trade on a simulator built into an IB front end, like bracket trader... The simulated trading account in IB with real trading in your front end is more accurate though...

that's what happens when I lose my data feed from IB occasionally...

sometimes I view it like surfing, and sometimes like basketball, when I'm in the zone and can do no wrong. sometimes, I view it like a video game...

I prolly shouldn't be giving trading advice (follow it at your own peril), but if I had $1000, I would either dump it into AAPL once it starts back up, or I would use the patterns and advice found in the AHG tread, and just scalp YM chop/points of indecision on the 400 share constant volume...

Can I do a write-in for the Cayman Islands?

why would you post a bogus equity curve for us, instead of your equity curve? Or, at least a mock up of a real equity curve? why haven't you laid out a specific plan for dealing with the heat, as other people in here have inquired about it? since you learned this at a prop firm, why...

AHG primarily uses HHs and HLs for trend identification, not parabolic curves. And AHG does not stop and reverse on the intersection of the curve and price, which I think is one of the things you do with them, right? AHG doesn't trade against the prevailing trend.

long term shorting AAPL is bad bad advice. They are on a prolonged run that is not going to stop in the next few years, unless Steve Jobs has a heart attack and dies. The only thing that even breaks the ups is real weakness in the stock markets in general. There is no data that supports...

Ensign isn't on there? Quotetracker isn't on there?

Hi Anek, Just wanted to ask, besides FOMC days, would you happen to know what announcements mean volatility for the futures markets? Reason I'm asking is, man, the volume is gone today...was wondering if someone was speaking or something...

Triangle setting up... EDIT: this is on the YM (why I am back to it, I dunno...comfort?)

False hopes? Are they crazy?? :confused:
