    Zero Downside second account

    think about it, though, i think it is showing that their brand of pairtrading might work. i mean, they are willing to suck up the $10k losses IF it were broken and from my limited experience with brother Bob(he has $16 million trading years and still flies in coach class), there is absolutely...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    much thanks dude, though i tend to be a bit leary of those hybridized restaurantes. still, those thais can cook anything and it seems as if at least half of the pizza joints in NYC are being run by mexicans (or their spanish speaking brethren) so there may be a natural connection. besides...

    what's good about market neutral trading strategies?

    market neutral pair trading CAN be a consistently profitable strat because of the high probabilities of mean reversion between SOME correlated and more importantly, highly cointegrated pairs. if you are holding overnight, systemic risk is decreased thus staving off a blowup in the rare cases...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    will check out your recommendation when am in chiang mai in march as good pizza is hard to come by in those parts of the world. is pizzadilla near the hilltribe silver shops or as far down as the entertainment plaza with the pseudo muay thai bouts? actually, it is a small road, i am surprised...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    big ben or are we talking the not as yet materialized but promising clock of the long now? those buddhists do have a way with deeply appreciating the emptiness of all things just as we westerners tend to want to materially fill those voids that we encounter as we meander along the road of life...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    nice photos man, you should post on the "daily hottie" thread. are you a "maeng daa"/pimp to supplement your income as a trader or at least pay your super inexpensive rent? if so, and you may give an ET member discount(on account of 95% of ET members being losers, or so go the stats), PM me...

    There's something wrong with human nature.

    whilst i have enjoyed canada a few times, i totally know what you are saying as I was likewise detained and harassed for 2+ hoursat the border going into BC because i had a girl with me that had a misdemeanor drug charge in CA a few years earlier. after that, we were turned back so a complete...

    Whats the best comm. split per 100 shares with no series 7 ?

    i am taking it that you need the 20:1 leverage? if not, IB can offer regular retail guys $5 on 1000 shares bundled or average less than half that if unbundled and you are adding liquidity most of the time(i have been averaging just over .002 per share with them). beyond that, JC gives 20X...

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    beats dingleberries and clinkers stuck to your ass hairs. besides, have you ever heard of a bidet? the french have been into keeping that area squeaky clean for hundreds of years:p

    Did not make mark-to-market election last year

    from my understanding via accountant, unfortunately, you don't get to use any excess beyond the $3000 next/this year and you will have to just write that annual $3000 off until the excess is gone. after you have declared mark-to-market, you have a lot more write offs, including any losses...

    Did not make mark-to-market election last year

    i know of no software to help with those tedious tax forms though as i am sure it would have a market, there should be one. correct on being too late to make the election and if you are sure you want to do so for 2010, be sure to do it before April 15th, regardless of if you file for an...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    1. I do have an account with IB and it has been no problem trading equities or futures and in BKK, it seems to automatically go to the HK server from what I can tell. Right now, i am back in the states but when i was in Bangkok 9 days ago(and the prior month), CAT ping tested between 50 and 90...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    AYE!! language is ever imprecise and just a comfortable, threadbare shirt on the luminous body of a boundless, timeless, anthropomorphization-free (and preferably, pesticide-free) god. deconstruction, dialectics and on out to dadaism, bless those lawyers and politicians for the way they turn...

    How to make an Atheists head explode.

    i think i am picking up what you are laying down, brother 7s. with this vein of reasoning, anything that anyone says as their opinion could be a lie. what is the inherent existence of any thought except in its perception by the awareness within/without the respective "thinker," each thought...

    Winter of 2009-2010 Could Be Worst in 25 Years

    can't argue with that as is as or more reliable than anything else out there. seems as if we were naturally in an uptrend these past few deci-millenia, so let's hope our perhaps tiny contribution of gases doesn't push us to new highs.
