    Pekelo's 2nd gap rule

    I am not watching what's happening in US, but the ESTX and SMI just started looking like low-risk shorts. (They were bullish since the morning). Your rule may work today.

    EUR/USD account and interests earned with IB

    No other reason, but the no-interest may cost you, with current rates, up to around $500 per currency in interest per year. This should be enough. As for your margin questions, check the IB pages. We can expand here forever... Simply remember that no conversions are taking place unless...

    EUR/USD account and interests earned with IB

    There must be currency ETFs.... check e.g. FXE. I don't know whether this is suitable; no idea what's happening with the interest differentials. (You need to actually buy the ETF, so no interest on the money locked there?) But for only $50k I wouldn't care about the exchange risk. Just...

    Wait for the price range to break before you enter. Also, remove MACD from your charts and the problem will magically disappear :D

    EUR/USD account and interests earned with IB

    If you only trade US$ denominated products, change your money once to US$ at IDEALPRO (not IDEAL). Keep all your money in 1 currency; yes you get hit by the no-interest threshold per currency. Also, it may help your margin requirements switching your base currency to US$. For every...

    What Computer do you prefer: two options....

    Get the fastest you can afford, and the best quality. What are we discussing here? A $500-$1k difference?!? For some of my backtests nothing is fast enough. Some custom indicators can be comp. heavy also. (If you are using plain old stochastics, you don't need a fast machine.)

    What Computer do you prefer: two options....

    My Dell Dimension blew up 3 times in the first 2 years. They practically replaced everything... processor twice, gfx card twice, motherboard 3 times, etc etc. I've been happy with their service though.
