another way around the restriction is to still search for the title in GOOG like usual but check to see if there's a cached version. if so click on it. the words in the title will be highlighted which is kinda annoying but you still get the article for free.

do NOT under any circumstances pay for trading education directly (as opposed to losing money trading). the info you need is out there for free. see other posters for what resources are a good place to start.

drop all indicators and focus only on price. if you're trading etf's sort them by category (country, sector, commodity, etc) and volume. all else equal trade the highest vol etf. find the point where there's a min 2/1 reward/risk. then place your stop and manage the trade from there.

hopefully i'm not picking up on your sarcasm b/c it's over the interwebs. if you really want to open an account w/ us please contact our head of corporate development, T. Rex.

We agree. If you're looking for low commissions, fast execution and superior customer service give us a call. -Trade Stegosaurus

+1 to everything Martinghoul said. it's much better to just trade exchange traded and cleared products. ok here's your scenario - the USGOV CDS explodes higher b/c of X reason. as martinghoul correctly stated under no circumstances will the ISDA consider this a default (if the same happened...

AFAIK, the saudi mkt is the only one open on sat. be careful though trading it since the entire market cap of the country is only about $50B. another issue is gaining access to it. the only retail broker i know of is ib maybe.

i've looked into this exact same thing and i'm pretty sure you WILL have to pay SE taxes. so it's a trade off - you get lower commissions but you have to pay much higher taxes on top of the membership. just make up an excel spreadsheet showing you in black and white if it's worth it. and if...

try spreads, either bull call (buy 1255 spx call/sell 1275 call) or bull put (sell spx 1255 put/buy 1235 put)

+1. this has that "bin laden" bull trap feel to me.

most people (except for cstfx prob) don't know that HO was the first energy contract to be traded - even before the all powerful CL.

in general, the highest vol futures cars have the most liquid options. just use GOOG like the previous poster said and search for them.

a broker's principal job is to turn his client's net worth into his own. broker's operate on the 2/3 rule: the broker makes money, the firm makes money, the client gets f*cked.

just curious, what happens if/when you don't get filled?

have you considered spx options? they're moving to c2 later this year if the goalposts don't keep being moved by the regulators.

+1 re negotiating TOS' rates. also remember to take into account other fees like ib's modify/cancel fee. yes you can get credited on this for PART of the fee but it can still add up if you modify/cancel orders a lot. i know i do this alot (and pls don't say "if you always hit the bid/ask...

i never said there's anything wrong w/ them. i only pointed out their (deep discount's) clearing firm. i don't want this thread to turn into a flame war. i meant no criticism against them or anyone else on the board.

do paper trades count?:D

sorry about the confusion. re the deep discount trading broker i meant "introducing broker". i recommend interactive brokers.

+1 to everything icarus said. re his point of state income taxes, IF you have the flexibility to move to another state you should do that if you're making enough for it to matter. there are 9 zero income tax states. http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=130684,00.html 7 of them...
