Ok, thanks. That's not too bad actually...

Do you know off-hand what the margin is for a 100K position is at IB? There was some discussion awhile back on another thread but I never saw any answer to that. It's been so long since I traded forex there I can't remember how much you need.

Hey saki, off topic, but do you still live and work in Vietnam ? I saw your journal. How do you like it? I really want to visit at some point. I have been to SE Asia (Thailand) a couple of times before but haven't made it there there yet. I hear the beaches are nice, cheap cost of living too.

Liquidity on IDEALPRO is good but it can be quite bad at times on IDEAL, which is where the OP would probably be trading. I just saw a 3 pip spread in the EUR/USD on IDEAL when IDEALPRO had 1.

Come on stop crying about your stops. Oh and use a spell checker... your grammar and spelling are atrocious. I'm sure you have a conspiracy theory for all your losses in the market. I don't trade forex much at all but FXCM is better than IB for forex IMO. However, my opinion is anyone who...

That would probably mark a bottom in the dollar if Treasury ever defaulted on their paper. :eek:

When you want to move 10 grand and don't want your bank to report the transaction to the IRS and you move it in 3 smaller chunks so they won't file a SAR report that is red flag central. Oh and just for good measure, Spitzer apparently asked a bank employee to remove his name from transfer...

I agree. People keep focusing on the prostitution and adultery part which is a personal issue for Spitzer in my opinion. However, the financial stuff is what he should really worry about. I feel like he really thought he was above the law otherwise why would he be so brazen for so long. Also, he...

Have you ever heard of "structuring"? I remember reading about a poor schmuck getting 2 years in federal prison just related to concealing cash withdrawals from his bank using small amounts. Also, there was the little problem of arranging and paying for her travel from New York to D.C. That...

I saw this picture in the NY POST today. LOL. "HO NO" http://www.nypost.com/seven/03122008/news/regionalnews/nyse_big__foes_hell_heavenly_101543.htm

Don't forget about Escape Artist http://www.escapeartist.com/.

:D that is pretty funny. nice one.

I have tried to watch this movie twice now and can't get through the first 30 minutes. Very strange film. I prefer America: Freedom to Fascism by the late Aaron Russo: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1656880303867390173

Yeah, I was too. I was betting she would be a no-show at this one.

Spitzer wasn't pursuing those investigations to help average investors, it was only pure ambition to move up the ladder that drove him. I guess you think the SEC is looking out for you also right? Yeah, he did clean up some stuff but the way he went about it and the tactics he used was very...

Spitzer's failure? You mean the fact that he has been whoring around for possibly 10 years and now has been caught committing multiple felonies in pursuit of tail? If he had continued at this endeavor and was not caught would that have been consider a "success" by your standards. I'm no fan of...

Ha! Take this DealBreaker: "Two law-enforcement officials said a "safety" worry expressed by one of the bookers about Client 9 was Spitzer's preference not to wear a condom during his $4,300 night with the prostitute. One source said he wanted her to perform oral sex on him without the...

Cramer on Today Show. You can skip his useless yapping about the Fed and market rally yesterday... Spitzer talk starts at 2:03. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/23588192#23589576

Well, the folks over at dealbreaker.com are guessing anal but I'm not so sure. My guess is oral because anything other and the guy would have to have a death wish. http://dealbreaker.com/2008/03/fleiss_advice_avoiding_an_elio.php

Ricky Gervais discusses midgets vs dwarves vs elves on the original version of The Office. Genius!
