True, also not all futures (gold for instance)

They eliminated day trading margins last year due to the increased volatility, add to that the increase in margins by the exchanges and some people (particularly those with smaller accounts) saw their purchasing power cut by 2/3s.

Just so you know. :)

Thank you for the info Banff. It really sucks the manufacturers don't display this anywhere. :(

Yep, and even many high grade monitors will not work that well vertically because of the screen coating. I got two HP w2408h a year ago and if you look at them from the left (the bottom in landscape mode), they go very dark... This is particularly annoying considering that they tilt, so I just...

Hi Ranger, Excellent post, there is not one single piece of advice I would disagree on. Two observations, though: 1) Learning to trade is not like learning to become a surgeon: you don't have independent or self-taught surgeons, and you don't have/need a trading degree to trade -...

OK, let's say that 2,500 is something you could spend on any nice 1-week vacation and that you can live with losing that much/little without blinking: you have a chance, small as it may be... ... until that 2,500 becomes a grand or two and then you start feeling the heat. Good luck all...

LMAO :D Best trading, Jorge

Hi Johnny, It's good to see you again around here :) Volume and O/I you will find most useful for commodities, rather than index futures. The COT report might come in handy also for swing trades on commodities/forex futures. For index futures, IMHO the best intraday indicator is the...

If you have IB, you can get for free the following tickers: SGXNK (Nikkei futures in Singapore) HSI (Shanghai futures in Hong-Kong) Hope it helps, best trading, Jorge
