Tell us more : daytrading margins, markets offered (CBOT? EUREX? MATIF?) DOME in JTRADER available ? PIG available ? Thanks

Indeed I am mainly focusing on finding ideas for pyramiding positions... Any good book, website on that topic?

AAA : did you add NYMEX market on QFEED to be able to display those 2 contracts?

I tried to trade QM and it took my order but a few second later sent me an error and cancelled my order... I guess they are beta-testing it right now, maybe because of the results of the June survey...

On IB Margin page they have added : QG daytrading margin : 625$ (1250$ overnight) QM daytrading margin : 500$ (1000$ overnight) I am also able to add them to my Universal account TWS... Does it mean I would be able to trade them ? Don't know yet the markets seem to be closed...

Def, In Barrons they talked about the loan you do when you trade for example a Euro Future on a USD based Universal account. What is the cost of this loan (fix cost, variable cost) ? For a trader that daytrades those product will this fee be waived ? (if it exists)

Hello guys, I would like to start a thread talking about books on Money management. They are very rare and difficult to find and I would like to know which ones are your bibles... Here is mine so far : Van Tharp Trade your way to Financial freedom Nearly a classical...

Just to answer my question You don't pay anymore 10$+10$ for stocks & emini you just pay 10$, free if above 30$ in comm in the month...

I would think like what you said at the end : the currency bought determine the commission If you sell EUR vs USD you indeed buy USD so they would substract the 2.95$ from the EUR amount that has just been converted in USD... Sounds logical for me... I sent a mail to IB to ask them to...

Ok I understood... I think IB should do a page with various trader profile and explain it that way with examples. We are not all used to FX operations... Last question : When you sell EUR/USD you pay : 1. 2.95$ comm ? 2. 3.25€ ? Then I guess when you buy USD/EUR you pay the other...

Still unclear sorry :) 1. 1000 EUR commissions is...IB future comm or FX commissions? 400 trades (20x20) should be 1600 EUR that is why I asked. 2. Sell EUR/USD is like buying USD/EUR right ? 3. What do you call EUR subaccount? Do you mean EUR P&L on your universal account ?

sorry but which operation was the good one ? the first one or the second one ? And were the fees associated the good one ? And do you pay the fixed comm each time you open a position in a foreign currency or only when you finally convert your P&L?

I think Timber Hill launched IB in 1993 to retail customer indeed... Ok so this is quite a complex operation. Say I make a 1000€ profit at one time by doing a daytrade on ESTOX50 on my USD account. I will have to buy EUR/USD for 1000 and then I will pay in addition to the market...

I guess to convert you need to send a mail to help@interactivebrokers.com then ? Would be great to have a conversion tool on the account page to do it automatically with the current IBFX quote for example...

Then the question is on the fees : This is an extract of the IB fees for FX : Trading Currency: Commission: Minimum: Australian Dollars 5.25/45,000 5.25 British Pounds 2.10/17,500 2.10 Canadian Dollars 4.75/40,000 4.75 Euro 3.25/25,000 3.25 Hong Kong Dollars 23.00/195,000 23.00...

David, from your post it means if I trade for more than 30$ of commission (ie 7 trades on emini/month) I won't pay : - 10$ CME fee - 10$ Nasdaq, NYSE and OPRA fee Is that right ? Another question I am sure everybody will ask : If my account is in USD and I daytrade say the ESTOX50...

If the emini option cost 15 it means 15 pts which is for ES 15*50$=750$...

I saw it in FFastfill office in Paris during a 1 hour personal demo. Didn't like it, looks like Windows 3.1 icon, you waste the space with many graphical things that we don't need, the best thing is the scalper module which is a pale copy of JTRADER DOME... Really you should do an effort...

Exchange fees for EUREX : DAX : 1€ R/T ESTOXX50 : 0.6€ R/T Euro BOBL / Euro Bund : 0.4€ R/T including clearing fees So I guess it is 3$ R/T for DAX, 2.6$ R/T for ESTOXX50, 2.4$ R/T for Euro Bund/Bobl FFastTrade... But unfortunately I have seen a demo of their platform and...

very very rarely...never seen a change on DAX since a while!
