Yes, many brokers will not allow a margin or futures account to be opened if unemployed.

Yeah well even though I've been living here in Japan for half a century, I guess I don't know anything about the place. And I showed the OP and those who are interested that your claims were misleading.

Why they didn't let you trade, I can't say.　They should have given you the reason. Unemployed, didn't have sufficient funds to open a margin account, chose a stock that was not eligible for short selling, or whatever else the reason might have been. Most of the brokers promote margin trading...

You say that obviously not knowing that TradeStation and the like are available. And was the OP asking about online transfers by banks? Well the 101st volume leader last Friday traded 4 million shares at around 1000 yen. More misleading negativity! And you seem to be speaking from the...

Yeah well I haven't heard such negativity since the 1960's. And your negative attitude spills over into misleading the OP and others. The OP was asking for information on day trading, and you make irrelevant statements about your feelings regarding politicians etc. and sounding quite bitter overall.

That one is from Kabu.com. The brokers here provide 10 levels, or you can get the entire DOM if you want it.

That is often dependent on the movement of the yen, and arbitrage. Many day traders just avoid trading the last/first 10 minutes before/after lunch. The lunch break used to be 2 hours. There is still talk of eliminating the lunch break. While HFT makes up over 60% of the volume, you shouldn't...

Well before you are swayed by Zzzz1's mistaken statements which are obviously born from his dislike of the country and its people which is typical of foreigners who could not make it here, please be informed that liquidity is NOT a problem, any more than it would be for stocks in the U.S. or...

You must not have been using the platforms that the brokers have been providing since 1998 where the DOM is updated in real time and orders are placed with 1 click on the DOM or chart. Your example using NEC is poor as it is a large capital stock that is sluggish and not appropriate for day...

Yeah, that's a problem for those of you outside Japan. Too bad as you could day trade here with zero commission. Have you considered day trading Nikkei futures on OSE with IB or AMP?

No, it's a problem on CQG's side due to the fact that they do not filter the data that they receive from the exchange, even though the exchange provides the data in a format that makes filtering quite simple. Actually, as I have found with other vendors, CQG may not even realize that the problem...

It would seem that just as the Indian scalped the Paleface by taking such a thin reward, that scalping would refer to taking the thin margin of 1 tick. But on the other hand, if a trader who normally swing trades for days or weeks just happened to do a 10 tick trade in a few minutes, to him it...

Yeah, the $29 that AMP charges is the Professional rate for OSE market data. IB charges the non-Pro rate of $4. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=14193#market-data-fees

What is your typical day trading like? Some advice for you. 1. Never take a laxative just before the market opens. 2. Never take Viagra just before the market opens. 3. Never take Viagra and a laxative together. You won't know if you're coming or going.

when is this market going to top? 1. When your broker says "This could be your last chance to buy at these prices". 2. When the cleaning lady asks you to recommend a stock. 3. When CNN says "We told you so". 4. When the Newbie ratio reaches an all time high on ET.

So maybe someone from the AI crowd could give a detailed example of what AI would do if ES was last quoted at say 2200 or whatever.Or if a stock is trading at $50.

And in doing so Mr. AI will surely discover that prices have always moved in trends and that it is best to follow the trend. So if Mr. AI learns his stuff, there will always be trends for us humans to trade.

It seems that many traders fear AI by thinking, AI will be to humans what humans are to animals. Well, even with all our smarts today we still find it difficult to swat a fly, wipe out cockroaches, or capture a wild monkey in the jungle. So something tells me that we'll survive!

Trading will be dead in next 10-20 years If history is any indication, the misuse, lack of use, quality etc. of AI may result in it not being what many envision, such as the following proved to be: Segway: people would never need to walk again microwave ovens: no need to cook again condoms: no...
