    max liability for futures trading

    Well if you sign it it probably means that you agree, yes. But it doesn't make the clause enforceable. For instance penalty clauses are not enforceable (at English Law and HK Law, don't know about US Law). A penalty clause is for instance a clause that says that if you want to close your...

    max liability for futures trading

    Is this enforceable in the US ? (I assume you live in the US ?). I believe such clause is not enforceable in Hong-Kong (where I live).

    max liability for futures trading

    I believe that 1 tick of eMini S&P500 is worth 12.50$ (somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I never traded this). So you owe more than 4k if your position goes more than 4000/12.5=320pips against you.

    max liability for futures trading

    In my opinion Yes. For instance you are long a contract, this is the expiry date and the value of the S&P500 drops to ZERO. In that case you will owe the face value of the contract. Of course this is very unlikely lol

    max liability for futures trading

    1) Because at the time your stop loss is triggered there may not be a Bid (resp Ask) in the market for you. Theoretically. Practically, it is likely that you will find somebody to buy (resp sell) from you "at a price". 2) Also because it depends on how you place your stop order. Stop Limit...

    Example Trading System

    This system is a very simple ORB system, and it's been public for years, if not decades, NOT since this thread has been opened at ET. I've got a book at home (Trading Systems and Methods, Kauffman 1998) that presents a whole set of breakout systems (including this one), and I'm sure you can find...

    Exit methods for trend-traders

    Spike, would it be possible for you to clarify what suggests that the downward trend should make a bottom and reverse in 2 ? Here also I fail to see what suggests a "clear downward" movement. 4 is right above the green candle at 12:10pm right ? Thank you in advance.

    Global bonds subject to witholding tax ?

    As I mentionned in another thread I am contemplating the purchase of a small size of Global bonds (US issuer). Because the size is so small getting proper legal advice would cost me probably more than the face value of the bonds lol... I am getting conflicting information regarding whether...

    Thanks a lot Sidinuk. I didn't think of the time difference. I think every user will have to adapt the time in TradeStation depending on where they live. I live in Hong-Kong so I'll have to change that to HK time... shouldn't be too tough though. Thanks again. Keep up the good work...
