Yes, those are pretty much your options. I've been trading with NT7 via Dorman for a year and they are good enough for me. Account management is not as slick as Interactive Brokers. You have to handle more things via emailing forms to their support. Never had any discrepancies in my statements...

You called it, another gap up. Probably will edge up then rip lower again.

I feel your pain man. I lost quite a bit of money this week as well. Seems like the vol regime has totally changed to something pre-2016. Gonna take a hard look this weekend on how to adjust.

damn this looks like the biggest Dow drop since August.

Yup the ES was like a rocketship Friday afternoon. was quite entertaining.

got chopped out of a couple trades on the NQ, lost a few handles. went long again at 6968, stop 6903.

Nice trade!

Several famous traders started out by paying for dubious subscription services like this one (Darvas and a few of the Market Wizards I think?), so siu is in good company.

Long 6767, Stop 6702

Looks like the PPT is finally stepping in.

Pretty big intraday reversal, I might get stopped out here. Edit: Stopped out on NQ @ 6780

2x is kids' stuff. real men buy 3x etfs. http://www.proshares.com/funds/udow.html why buy ultra dow when you can buy ultraPRO dow? you're a pro, aren't ya?

This looks like a great journal. I hope that you continue posting. Last year I did something similar. I traded GC, CL and LE concurrently using an automated strategy. I didn't blow up but that account ended down ~10%, mainly because GC and CL both had a long sideways phase in the summer/fall...

NQ probably overstretched but I'm gonna take a long anyway. Long 6688, stop 6625.

Buy BTC on coinbase, send it to bitmex and trade their futures contracts with 100x leverage :cool:

As Ryan Detrick notes, "since 1950, when the first 5 days are up over 2%, the S&P 500 is higher for the year 15 out of 15 times with an average return of +18.6%. " So, as Detrick concludes, "if you are bullish, Monday is a big day." Get ready fellas :)

Hi Jcabsa, You are correct that IB intraday margin is ~$4000 while other brokers like NT (and AMP, among others) offer $500 intraday margin. You'd have to ask IB why their intraday (and overnight) margin is so high. I guess that they want to reduce the leverage available to clients in order to...

-50%. I am not an elite trader.

MRCI defines correlation as both instruments closing higher or lower on the same day, so you're correct that it's not based on returns.
