yeah, what he said. imploded over 200m in less than 10 days in Oct (for all to c here). had 'draw downs' >100m more than once during the year, but doing it so late had a much more damaging effect. bounced back some in Nov to positive for the year. of course, i'd have made more $ managing an...

i would agree that, to my recollection, he's right more than wrong. that said... if he is wrong, he'll tell you he was hedged. how one is hedged short the DAX without giving up most of the upside, i have yet to figure out. i've asked twice how he does this, he says he'll answer- he never...

what you're doing is akin to jerking off in public with an extremely small dick. you're hopeless and now on ignore. based on your follow-on posts, i've concluded that you're between 14 and 20 and living with your parents. you've never entered a real $ trade in your life and, ergo, have no...

holy shit, what a racket. no wonder he advertises the fuck out of it on cnbc. he has balls the size of north dakota to have a fees list like this. having run OPM for almost 20 years (not now, as i'm attempting to transition to trading futures with my own $), i can't even imagine presenting...

actually, it proved nothing. let me expand... last night, i was damn sure (akin to a prediction) that the DAX would fall. i shorted and got caught in the shit storm caused by the motherfucking (bitter, yep!) surprise 175 bp cut in sweden. horrific trade management coupled with unrivaled...

there are a couple of very important lessons to be taken from this: 1. being dead on right doesn't mean you're going to make money. THIS is why all these moronic 'today the market will do this' threads are pointless and show how stupid the OP's are. i bet the # of times i have been dead right...

that's the problem and i think IB needs to make allowance for converting back to base when you trade other markets. i was going to convert some yen back to dollars (1mm yen- ie: bit over 10,000 USD). couldn't do it in idealpro (it cancels the order and sends it to ideal. at the time, the spread...

i was thinking the same. someone's going to have the bullseye on their back. seemed, last week, that BAC was setting up. the insurers are something i'm trying to get my arms around, too. you look at the losses in their portfolios and think about some of the products that have been sold the...

and, most importantly... 3. in hopes that anek reads the thread, likes it, and invites you into his chat room figured i'd inject some honesty into your thread 'reasons'

don't think i buy that one. the market that had the most tepid reaction was the shanghai when it came back from lunch. one thing's for sure, a shit load of stops were taken out to fuel it once it got going. frankly, i'm lucky to have dodged this bullet. damn good thing i diverted my margin...

these clowns are amazing. the broad on bloomberg just read her script again just now with the banner below touting the big fall in asian stocks. they've only been up for 2 hours. i guess the writers write the stories based upon the US close and then go home. talking heads just keep mindlessly...

still have no idea what happened. of course, i understand the technical aspect of the run/short covering/etc- still, it happened pretty much every market at the same time, to include all currencies. my point: there was a trigger. anyone know? as an aside- my stop limit got lept over (10...

and this brings you pleasure how exactly....

christ do i feel like the proverbial last man on the deal team. wtf caused everything to explode up in asia. can't find news anywhere. f-ing cnbc asia and bloomberg still reading the script they wrote 2 hours ago talking about the selloff in asia- could they be any more worthless. anyway...

i have heard of them but don't know anyone who has use them. they offer HSI (hong kong) futures, which is what i trade. do you have firsthand experience with them? if so, could you share your opinion. thanks.

does your jaw ever get sore?...

yeah, debated putting your name on the list, as i like you and you're generous with your time helping others. that said, i cannot understand how you so vehemently come to IB's defence on any and all threads about IB. i honestly think it's counterproductive to our common goal- the best broker...

and don't forget to tell him that the HK servers have gone down 3 of the past 5 trading days- once for over an hour after HK closed. also tell him that, when this happens, the traders at IB will not be able to see your position or enter a trade (or so they'll claim). now that you're mentioning...

i love how the stockidiot3r creates new identities to agree with his point whenever he starts threads. it's as if he thinks that somehow these posts will save him from his underwater longs in his paper trading acct.

thanks. i'll be very interested and look forward to it.
