I guess i am not very clear on my last post. Say i have 100000 USD in my IB account and i am bearish on the dollar. Should i ?: a) convert the 100000 USD into Aussie (or whatever foreign currency) and buy stocks in australia. b) buy the Aussie forex through IDEAL Pro and take a AUD...

I guess the base currency doesnt really matter from what all you guys said so far. I actually live in HK and have both HKD and USD in my account. If i want a higher interest rate and/or bearish on the USD, i should just convert the money into foriegn currency through IDEAL to earn a higher...

It's gotta be tradestation. You can monitor 1000 stocks on radarscreen with your own criteria. In my opinion, there is no better software than tradestation if you have a bunch of symbols to monitor.

Hi I am new to IB, and i have a problem understanding how to choose base currecy. I just don't understand why people would choose a base currecy other than the highest interest rate currecy (ie mexico). Well, maybe because of the instability of their political condition. People might as well...

good luck guys. That's what people thought when oil hit $55 back in Oct. 04.

Yeah, 42000 gallon per contract. I might not even use 420 gallon a year. And keep rolling it over every month with contango and commision and everything else. Not to mention margin calls if the price goes down. Please keep me updated on your hedging process.

That's what long term capital thought before they blew up. Their simulation told them they can't lose more than a couple of hundred million in a day in 2 zillion light years and yet they lose billions in weeks. Is murphy's law, the market is there to fool most of the people in the least amount...

This is exactly what i am trying to get to regarding to the feel stuff. I have never heard of MarketDelta before you mentioned it. Is pretty cool. But, it still doesnt solve the mystery whether the bid is real or not. Locals in the pit can trade in front of big paper bid and just sell it to...

Having pit noise at home is a bit different than being at the pit live right? I have subscribed to pit noise and squawk box. I am just wondering if the pit eventually go extinct (just a matter of time). How can i get a feel for the market? The S&P still have a lot of noise, but the bonds is...

Is there any pit trader that has susscessfully made the transition from the pit to the screen, especially in the bonds and S&P ? The question i have is that trading from the screen is a totally different thing. Is like having to move from the earth to mars. How can people make this such...
