Thanks, I've seen heaps of these type of sites. I was looking for an option where I know in advance what bank I'm going for, what type of account etc. and I don't want to pay an introducing fee. Simple.

No dice = I was told on both occasions it was not possible to open an account. Otherwise I would have said I got it done. Not so simple = refers to your "simple!".

Spoke to customer service of BoA USA and met in person with the local Citibank's International Personal Banking officer. No dice, and not so simple. If you've done that and found it simple I'd be happy to hear about your experience.

Cool, any insight into the 'how' part?

Hi, Does anyone know if/how a non-US citizen and non-resident can open a bank account in the US? I have US$ expenses in the US and transferring from IB to home and back to the US is not very cost effective. Thanks.

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can find a data feed for Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (Israel)? I am looking for real-time intraday charting. Thanks.

I find this interesting. Surely, a trader starts making money consistently at a given point in time, are you then saying that at the same time that trader must also become confident in their system? I'm one of those who feel they've just turned the corner. After over a year of consistently...

Would be interesting to hear what trading magazines people here find worth reading..?

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could recommend an international health insurance plan/provider. I'm a non-US citizen living and traveling outside my home country and I'm looking for a healthcare private insurance. Thanks Ajax

Yes I'd be interested to hear about Manila in terms of what type of visa did you have and what sort of accommodation and internet connection you got. I assume you lived and traded from there for a while without fully relocating there..?

Aus - haha.. not surprised. My internet breakdown fallback now is just calling and closing/cancelling everything. Very limited internet backup options in NZ. Cheers for the info.

Yep I know what you mean. I'm indeed more fond of the hi-tech, high-pace, big-city type of place. At least at this point of my life. I'm not quite Asian (well not in the way you mean Asian). I've been to most of the places you mentioned. There are indeed significant differences in lifestyle...

Hey Kiwi Trader, Are you trading from Godzone? Which ISP are you with? I guess on Bitstream you get the same performance regardless of the provider? Do you have anything for backup in case telecom's exchange goes tits up?

I've been living in Asia (Singapore and Hong Kong) for the past 8-9 years and travelled around quite extensively. The internet connection quality in Singapore is very poor. Although you get broadband, because the government screens everything, you get appalling latency. I experienced issues...

Yes, I was looking at the filter they posted on their blog that they suggest to use for finding dummies: http://marketmovers.blogspot.com/2005/11/strategy-session-dummies.html

Hi daferiat, interesting filter. Would you mind posting the output of this filter for the past 5 trading days or so?

Rickshaw Man, That's what I've been using as well. Ensign is one of the best for studies and candle painting. That said I find the backfilling not very reliable, each time I (have to double) click on a symbol in Ensign it re-fetches the candles and sometimes adjusts back previous candles...

A Porsche? To me IB is more like a nuclear submarine, a Russian one. It can take on anything in the water but human engineering issues can cause occasional disasters ;) I've not seen people compain about Navigator before but point taken.

BSAM, Nothing wrong with it per se. I've not used it much, probably an oversight after diabling it from the display. It's still not integrated with the kind of charting apps I'm used to though and it takes lots of screen space. Anyways thanks for reminding me it's there :)
