Imagine if you bought it a few days ago below 20, and only noticed this now. Seriously though, da fugg?

Does RAPA have plans to open up to other platforms/brokers outside of Interactive Brokers?

Thanks for the info. From my talks with AMP, they also take Ontario residents. IB Canada does futures as well, no?

I asked since working with US brokers seems to be so hit and miss. Some have no problem while others can't for regulatory reasons (and I'm referring to US brokers who aren't registered with the OSC, nor have a Canadian subsidiary.)

Why not Ontario?

He said Options. There are options on SPX. It was even posted in the options forum.

are you just trading from delayed data in the sim account?

With the words "trade" and "small" in the thread title, I expect emg to be here any minute with his catchphrase.

Bad week? What happened to that sunshine, rainbows, and puppy dogs thread from before about how well you're doing?

They execute a position in the underlying security, usually futures for index CFDs, or the stocks themselves on stock CFDs. CFDs are insanely profitable for brokers because they pad the price spread (spread markup) of the underlying market (if the emini S&P500 futures contracts are at 0.25...

Right... and how in the hell does make sense? Take the training wheels off first before you think about getting a crotch rocket.

+1 That's probably the main reason I enjoy this industry.

Agreed. Plus, why would I want to listen to other traders? Might give me a bias that's not my own.

That's far too logical to work for the SEC. :P Speed limits? Politicians will be sick of golf and free stuff by the time the financial lobbyists get through with fighting such a thing.

Plus, you guys set the bar low enough that most will feel like they can show off now. :P

Mm... they used to instant execute up to 10 Million at the screen quoted rate. I knew this to be true and verified it with them about two years ago.. I can't find it on their site now, and the only reference to "10 Million" is their order sizes. How odd. I suppose they changed their...

How in the hell do you need 2.5 million to make 1% in the spot market? Seriously, you can define risk down to $1000 in exposure per trade with most brokers.. I can't see how you'd need so much capital just to make your strategy work. Are you just averaging in a la martingale and need it...
