Mark, I mainly trade on earning news. I found they swing big and mostly swing to 1 direction. They either go all the way one way or reverse within the first 30 minutes. Such as GOOG, JDSU, WEBX yesterday. In GOOG and JDSU's case, the premarket and first few minutes direction are fake. If...

As my account grow, I found that stop does not work well. I was in 18.11, it went up to 18.40, I set market stop at 18.18. Then it wend from 18.2 to 18.14 within seconds. If I use stop limit, I am worried that my position may not get out quick enough. So for those big traders, how do you use...

that is my worry. his 2006/12 is a 33% loss, lost 100k+ when the account is 300k+. i have no seen his 2007/01 monthly statement yet. he withdraw most of his profit from future market and move to stocks where big money can get in and out. the logic is this, if he is so confident, why he start...

he is only gaining 300% in 9 months from 250k to 1M. it is very normal for this size in metal/ag/soft future trading. he is lucky to run from 30k to 250k in 3 months though. i am kind of afraid he may be tired, or lazy, unheathy for future gains managing this new 500k account. currently we still...

really just a simple question. because i need to act quick, i am afraid he will stop accepting new money soon, just as most hedge funds will stop grow at certain size. my net worth is about 500k, and i borrowed another 400k on 8% 10% 11% interest. I put them all in risky business like Stocks...

that is my thought too. i found that once you work so hard for so long, you start being tired, not so eagar to make big, and start thinking to use others' capital for your own riskless gain.

I met a guy who trade futures from 30K to 1M in 2006. In the 12 months, only Feb and Dec, he has loss. He mainly day trade or at most carry the position for 2 overnights. However, looking at his trades, I found this: he made 30k to 250k in the first 3 months, then he keep withdrawing money, once...

your AL is so big. how much commission do you pay? at which broker? I only pay 6 for 10,000 initial. it is like paying $3.6 for $6,250.00. If I close the position within the day, I pay no fee for closing transaction. i am thinking to move my money out of china now, because there is NO...

I currently pay 6ruan for 100,000ruan worth Aluminium. I need to have 10% as the margin requirement. So I need to have 10,000ruan in my account. How much do I need for 1 contract of Aluminium in LME market? Does IB support LME now?

some people are shorting corn and longing wheat. i would rather short wheat. currently i long su and short lu.

Anyone knows the difference between 11 and 14? 11's chart is down and 14 is up mostly recently. In my market, I only have one sugar, so I don't know if I could compare it with 11 or 14.

In my system, I got 3 quotes: LME, LMEs and "Market Inside" (translation could be not accurate). What is the difference here? They give different prices.

Very good story here. Cost Reduction + Growth. Take a look at their Chart too. New HIGH, New 5 year High. http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=T

If I short $100k on margin, will the $100k first used to cover the $100k I borrowed for long? When I borrow, I pay 11%, when I short, I only get paid 1.xx%.

I recently learned I need to pay interest on CFD margin. Do I need to pay interest on the 100:1 margin/leverage I use on Froex? One firm tells me they charge 1/1000 per day or 36.5% per year.

they are toooo sexy. i am afraid. unless it dropped below 13, i won't sell ---- learned it from my 3 month future career. i still can not find why they are traded at this level since 2002. what changed? i know their sales grow, but the growth is with loss, especially, when they don't have any...

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=IEDU&t=5y one of the top 10 stocks ever!. book value is negative (i did not do a detail research on that). what they do? they teach fools to trade stocks. so is IEDU investor really that stupid, or IEDU can find enough stupid investors? I am going to start...

i once short a scam at $20, then it went to $40 in 2 days, then i covered it, 2 weeks later, then it is $0.70. i even forgot its name, it is a medical company selling some magic patch. same thing for me on TASR, i lost 100% on it too. since then, i rarely rarely short.

After 3 month future trading, I found that future is not as predictable as stock price, because there are constant news update, where in stocks, there are sometimes no news between 10Q filings. And it is pretty easy to predict what management will do based on their past actions. However...

I remember there was a link on yahoo to list the best performers (or best IPO) in the past 3 6 12 months. I could not find the link any more. Take a look at this list: http://www.fool.com/investing/small-cap/2006/12/29/the-markets-10-best-stocks-revisited.aspx Most best stocks are from...
