Hi, Wondering if there are any South Florida traders who are interested in getting together to talk trading, sports, etc. I am in the Delray Beach area. Thanks.

Here is a link from MarketWatch: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/dodd-frank-claims-niche-form-of-gold-trading-2011-06-22 This link goes into a bit more detail: http://articlesofinterest-kelley.blogspot.com/2011/06/july-15th-trading-of-over-counter-gold.html

Thanks for correcting the link. It must have expired.

Excellent. You don't need to waste any more time dealing with someone like that. Saves you a lot of time.

I have this book and if it is indeed like new and the cost includes shipping this is a very good deal. Yes, the book is old, but a lot of the information in it is still useful and any serious options trader should have read it. BTW, I would not sell mine for $22. Disclaimer: I don't know the...

Can anyone clarify this for me? http://www.zerohedge.com/article/dodd-frank-precious-metal-trading-prohibition-could-make-hedge-fund-fx-trading-illegal Is it going to become illegal for US citizens to trade spot gold and silver as well as foreign currencies? What are the implications...

All those things you mentioned are important, but the key element you are missing is the "vig" in the form of slippage and commissions. Blackjack does not have any vig. You have a slight disadvantage off the top of the deck in most blackjack games (depending upon the rules), but there is no vig...

Yes, they do. Enter XAGUSD and choose commodity.

I agree with this.

I think this is very good information and generally quite accurate.

Hey, thanks for this info. IB offers this contract also.

Not sure what the point of your post is. This is a hypothetical question regarding hedging an overnight move prior to pre-market trading, so the direction of price movement doesn't seem relevant to the answer.

Hi, Is there any good way to hedge a position in either SLV or SIVR after hours and overnight without using futures? i.e. suppose I have a long position in SIVR and the price of silver rises $2.50 overnight and I want to lock in the profit at 2 am EST instead of waiting until pre-market when...

BTW, when I say it is a versatile and full featured platform, I am in no way referring to the charting component. As it stands now, I would never consider using the TWS charts. They are far inferior to many other charting packages out there. I don't even know why IB wastes any energy on...

QuoteTracker is an excellent program and works well with IB, but it is not being supported any longer by TD Ameritrade and may possibly die out. TD Ameritrade is not being straight about this, but the writing is on the wall.

I have found that most of the time, they ignore problems that are reported. They will spend time (yours and theirs) collecting information about the problem, but will seldom fix it until a large amount of time passes. Sometimes they will tell you the best thing to do is to fill out a help...

Support via e-mail that has a 24 hour lag is extremely frustrating to the users because it often takes a few e-mails and responses for support to actually understand the problem and then the answer is often not complete even after that. To get a truly helpful response to a difficult question...

Just wondering. I've looked at the user forum and it seems completely neglected. If you post a question to the forum, it needs to be approved by the moderator, but the moderator never approves any posts. My guess is that the moderator never even looks at them. I've experimented with the program...

Hi, I am just wondering about something: Let's say you are looking at TotalView for SPY which is 127.88 bid and 127.89 asked, you see perhaps 160,000 cumulative bid at 127.84 to 127.88 and 150,00 cumulative asked at 127.89 to 127.94. SPY will often move to either 127.83 or 127.95 with...

Some of the hostile responses are pretty funny. If you never call IB customer service you must use a very limited set of their products and/or features. No considerate customer deserves to be treated rudely by a customer service rep in any business. The fact that some of you think it is okay...
