kut2k2 - I'm definitely in your camp in the market is not random. To add academic rigor to your test-Did you adjust for the short-term treasury interest rate expectation? Even random marketers think that the market will go up in the long run.

You are way off. "belief" has little to do with trading, even for TA traders. It usually deals with statistical edges. "An illustration of the past."-You are technically correct, but all things and lessons learned in life are "illustrations of the past." But not illustrations in visual terms...

This is so dumb. Of course meteorologists will be more accurate. Their bar is at their feet and they just say the basics. TV stock pickers make claims contrary to analysts, super-computers, etc. The bar is very high. The equivalent to a meteorologist would be a stock picker going on TV...

I think everything you have posted shows that you have absolutely no idea about anything relating to trading. Why do you not consider varying position size to accommodate market liquidity? Why on earth would you trust a phone broker more than the level 2 on the screen? You have not told...

I would like an invite too. Thanks.

My position is long 1 stock short 1 single stock future, to get the synthetic risk-free interest rate plus a tad more. Thanks for the help. I'll direct further questions towards an actual IB rep, so this thread can be closed.

Thanks for replying, but I think I'm being misunderstood. I fully understand EFP's. I just don't know if IB pays interest on the margin money on top of the EFP's synthetic interest. If they do pay interest, I want to know if it shows up under accrued interest.

I guess what I'm trying to say is does your interest show up in the daily transfers in and out of the margin requirement or do they show up under account > balance > accrued interest?

This question is mainly for any Interactive Brokers representatives at ET. I sold an EFP a month ago to gain some interest on my free cash. I have not received any interest on the margin maintainance required funds. On the EFP description page...

I'm usually a pretty disciplined investor/trader when it come to positioning and doubling down. In the last three days I have doubled my position twice on the MWA, MWB-B spread. It is a pseudo arbitrage play given that the B shares trade at a %20 discount yet are fundamentally worth slightly...

Just wondering, Where did you move to in NYC and how much is your rent?

Tarl, What you do not understand is that the etf is the best representation of where people believe that the market will open up in China,etc. People make a market at the opening bell in Hong Kong based off of US market performance, and they WILL price shares lower. Foreign markets are...

Tarl, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Does anyone know how likely it is to get accepted on a second interview at FNYS. My first interview went well, and I was asked for a second one, but don't want to waste my time because I live in Florida. By the way, I didn't know anyone there.

Roncer, During my internship at the CBOE, I worked with an OEX marketmaker. On the floor of a pit, brokers have most of the power and are frequently the ones delaying times. Any limit order that an outsider posts should immediately show on the open book. If it does not show, it is more...

Thanks for the advice. Some conflicting feelings on moving...

Emory is not such a bad school, although I was a little disappointed to get denied at Columbia, Wharton, and Duke. I talked to recruiting organizations in NY and Connecticut, and they say that they can get me interviews with hedge funds only if I live there. I am extremely willing to move to...

I just graduated college in December and am looking for a trading job where I can learn more. Currently, my job search is not going very well, I have applied to most job listings pertaining to trading online, but to no avail. It probably has something to do with my somewhat low GPA of 3.2 but I...
