It looks like a nice short around 239.50/240.

I hate the phone, but once i called tradestation because i had a problem with one pending order. It took me 40minutes to get someone on the phone.... amazing.

On incoming wires you have 4-days hold, which its pretty normal on the industry.

The bottom line is that brokers shouldn't freeze account unless they have a good reason. On iB if you add a wire instruction for a bank and a broker (pretty common, any person in this forum my have a bank account and another broker account) you get your account frozen until they think its...

FROZEN accounts by a broker shouldn't be allowed. (at least for such stupid thing like editing the number on a bank instruction, anyone can have a typo) Freeze accounts just like that should be only a right of the government. I had this problem before just because i wrote one number wrong...

I completely agree with that. When you're watching P/L you may lose attention on the setup and sometimes cut the profits to soon. It happened to all of us once and many times. If you focus on long-term results and just forget about the day P/L you get better results. Of course, in this...

Althought customer service is rude the bottom line is that IB rocks, i've been a customer for five years and with ups and downs i can't find any better broker out there that lets you trade futs, bonds, stocks and fut optionso on the same acc.

I think everything is about risk and pressure. Like a lot of guys on this thread said, its a great stuff if a guy came up finishing the year with 1B up, but, if the "risk" of a bad trade (or year) is what happened to brian hunter then they are not dealing with real risk and they know that, so...

Usually the number that kicks in every wed at 10.30 (unless monday is a holiday, so the number is released on thursday) make wilds moves inside a range but rarely without some nice comeback. If you check the past you will see how usually after the inventory release there is a major move the...

This thing has been discussed before. QM appears (sometimes) to have more volume on the bid/ask becaus the min tick is 0.025 so you may see (for example)BID 75 @ 62 vs ASK 70 @ 62.026 on QM against bid 10 @ 62.01 vs 13 ASK @62.02. Although it seems more volme on QM on the big picture the...

Trading CL all the way. +27600 scaling long.

I've been a buyer around 61.6/50 selling out all the position this morning on failure to break 62.15. In my case im looking for a bounce on the 60/61 range. I'll buy around that area for a 1-2.5 points target. Situation (although something new) looks like the classic 1-2 days issues giving...

I've been looking for a decent news provider (on crude oil market) for a while. I can't find it (paying a fee of course). If you have any suggestion please let me know. thanks

back to intraday trading on CL. +2520 holding positions, I will post blot tomorrow when i close it. Still holding short naked calls on ES strike 1370 and 1390 and YM strike 12800, i hope this will end at $0.

what about comissions? which fees do you guys pay on china stock market?

We see post like this once in a while (one per month). I guess is the need of the people to figure out that this kind of "american dream" is possible on the stock or future market. While still possible, what about the odds? who will afford to blow up an account "just like this"...

Besides asians are gambling lovers this has nothing to do with it. Market going up 80/100% in a few months and the people go freak, here, on china, africa or anywhere, that's classic human behavior.

Even worst than a stop not triggered is an exchange collapsing for some reason or having technical issues on tricky times and then the exchange (mkt) reopening waay down (or up)

well, all the threads must have a foolish comment to be a real thread. we are done with this one now.

Amazing. They should release the number on Thursday or Monday rather than such mess. We will see. GL.
