ok, it's flame time. IB's so called cheap transactions costs are bullshit when it comes to the bottom line. The bottom line is that this company screwed up so many times, I payed dearly. I lost 40 grand in one day cause these goons couldn't call globex or someone to get me out of my...

I totally know what your going thru, i gave them alot of money in commissions as well. And they treated me like absolute shit. On the phone and in their chat. Anyone who uses IB should ask them what options you have to liquidate when THEIR link to globex goes down. When I was with IB...

I second that Hawaii is the best place to live in the world if you are a successful trader. I say successful because the costs here are high. Heres why I think Hawaii is the best place in the world to live. there are many climates here depending on where u go. you have desert, snow...

yes, i'm reaching for parity, but my entry wasn't so good, so I should have covered more of my short, knowing that even if i get in near the top, there will be alot of whipsaws. And I can improve my entry by covering part of the position and shorting more near the high of the range. So, my...

I short the EURO because the long term trend is down. Exactly like many people short the Nasdaq on every corrective rally, they know it's in a bear market. Look at a long term chart of the EUR, and you will see that it is in a simple downtrend. It has never ever made a higher high. Every...

story of my life, i go surfing this morning and whats left of my EURO position gets slammed up my arse. I should have taken all profits at 1.0360 Current EUR quote is 1.0523/25 Some Pimco report slammed the dollar. Anyhow, I'm still short, avg price is 1.044 I'm looking to catch...

i detailed in another thread why I beleive it's harder now than before. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=182419#post182419 I don't think it's impossible though, but everyone MUST adapt to the changing tides or get washed out to sea.

I was backtesting some chart patterns today when I came across an important discovery. in 2000-2001, the US stock market changed in a big way. I don't mean that it just turned down, I mean that the patterns changed. This could be why many traders find it harder now. The patterns that...

your wrong about daytrading becoming popular or starting up because of the bubble or some other market events. daytrading came about because of electronic marketplaces. so daytrading will always exist so long as their are electronic markets. also, this is just speaking of electronic...

fakeout then dump

yer right FX-Trader, he should confine his commentary to a journal EUR/USD just took a small dump after a little whipsaw fakeout up to 1.0416 i covered a small portion at 1.0370

i have an idea, since alot of commentators do come to ET to try and woo traders to their sites, why not start a new forum called market commentary. It would be like chit chat, and it wouldn't refresh to the home page when updated. win/win solution? another possible solution is to keep...
