Can anyone recommend a good website for finding out about Managed Futures or Accounts (ie. good managers, performance record, etc)? It's almost the end of the year, and I'd like to diversify some of the profits I made this year as I begin the new year.

Yes, has been used by IB for some time.

How would they deplete it? Unlike credit cards, my brokerage accounts are only linked to my address or banks w/ same SS. And in the event something fraudulent takes place, it could clearly be proven. However, in this day and age, I also don't underestimate the hackers...

Looking at his performance history, the first thing that comes to mind is commission. They would significantly affect his results. He is scalping often tenths of a percent which sometimes barely covers commission. The other would be slippage which may or may not be factored in.

The problem that will someday come to haunt the housing market is the overextension of the buyers these days. Because of the perceived housing craze and appreciation by the buyer and the willingness of lenders to loosen their requirements, home buyers today are overextending themselves...

From my understanding, there is not a "stiff penalty" if you don't make estimated payments. You basically just pay interest on it to the IRS come full payment time on April 15th. Alot of traders choose to do this given their earnings may fluctuate and that they don't want to deal with it...

Use the Friends & Family Advisor to create a master account, and have those other accounts become client accounts. Even though they are all under your name it should be fine. You can then create allocation profiles/groups for your chosen sub-accounts. You can easily toggle between...

Thanks, Jerry.

One last question, is it possible to get a backfill for the tick data?

Ah, yes Scottrade. As usual, thanks for the great support!

Does anyone know a free indices symbol and provider for the Nasdaq or NYSE tick? Perhaps under Bloomberg NA? I'm trying a few here and getting nothing. I do also have Freetrade but can't find anything there either. Thanks

Thanks so much.

Quick question on Quotetracker... On my intraday charts at the very right of the price intervals is a bar divided into green and red. Due to my incompentence, I've searched the help and couldn't find info on it. What is it and how can I change it? Thanks for any help...

After the close, ol' JJC says: "Further, we are oversold and the market's skepticism is building. It sure would be nice to see a drop in the number of bulls on the Investors Intelligence surveys. We won't get those results until Wednesday, though, and I remain convinced that we have seen the...

Does anyone have the best method of inputing these orders into IB's TWS to be as automated as possible? Using a simple combination of stop, basket, MOC, or OCA orders? I trade at the bid/ask 99.999999% of the time. Perhaps someone with experience using these types of orders?

Whats the status on this trade? Puts are back down to breakeven with the time/volatility decay.

This site has become 99% useless to my trading. It's now riddled with useless chit chat in almost every thread. Alot of stabbing at one another. Could go on. The 1% that is useful is the nugget of information that one may come across that is enlightening but that is few and far between...

Anyone know of a link or resource that gives a list of upcoming trading seminars. The major trading seminars and tradeshows and smaller ones would be great. I've looked around but haven't found a good resource.

Might want to be be careful saying that this would not be worth it. The 40/60 tax treatment is nice, but for a trader whos gains/losses can fluctuate GREATLY each year, if one year you end up with an abnormally large loss due to personal trading, market crash, etc. then you are stuck with a...
