"Professional advisors that manage client accounts in excess of state registration minimums (generally 16 or more accounts and US $25 million in assets) must be registered under local regulatory law (e.g. Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) for US securities and Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA)...

Thanks. I knew it was it but dit not find the info. Two other comish to the broker, lol. Does someone know of a place where I can get the info on ETF dividend in advance?

I know there is something I dont get. Can someone point to me what it is? Dividend, rebalancement... ? Short: IVV @ 77.89 Long: SPY @ 77.16 I know there must be something wrong but took it for the sake of knowledge. Nothing else interesting on my side.

This idea come up here on ET about once a week :p The problem is that you really got to trade the exact oposite trades and also, you need a CONSISTENT loser. Also, to me, this is not a zero sum game. Spread and transaction fees make a difference in the final P/L. It's the same idea with a...

Isn't it 4 with IB? I think it's the SEC that determines the max leverage, possible for retail traders. If you want more you need to go to a prop shop (Bright, Echo, ...).

I wrote my own scanner in C. I update the data with Yahoo (Yahoo and Google historical quote downloader and an Excel sheet for the intraday update). I run the program once at about 15:15 and scan manually looking at the charts in Matlab. Scanner entries criteria: Stocks above 5$, average...

20 fills, 7 longs, 13 shorts, 13 wins, 7 loss, +0.06 average. Expected a little more but still very good. Cancelled only a few, did not pushed up the share size. PS: EMZ, I did not use OCA this morning and did not have the blue status problem.

Yes, They all went against me at some point but on some I would have had to take some profits quickly because some reverted as expected. I'm only one trade down, no big deal (3 loss, 2 wins, 1 flat). I dont think it's a smart idea to trade the divergence with a convergence set-up. But I think...

Nothing really big. I should be more torough on the analysis. Take losses when I realise I'm wrong. I try to improve my patience in trading so this effort sometimes comes in conflict with what I should really do. I just get my feet wet so it's cool with me. There will be better trades.

When you provide liquidity (buy at bid, sell at ask) you dont pay the spread. I have no clue how they do it but I guess a relly good tape reader can.

Unloaded the whole portfolio this morning. I was down at an uncomfortable level and I had the opportunity to get some at a profit and some at a loss so I covered for a loss on the whole protfolio. Sold ELD.TO 10.63$ Bought AU 37.82$ -5.7% Sold FNFG 11.01$ Bought FMER 17.86$ Worst one...

10 fills, 3 longs, 7 shorts, 4 winners, 6 losers, +0.02 average. Expected more, let's see tomorow.

I do this in Forex. The key is to get out fast as soon as it's not going your way. May be get ticked away 3 times 10 pips but catch a 50 pips on the fourth. I use the tick chart. Also, as soon as I can I lock in a free trade, move a stop to a no loss and trail it. I dont fuck theses things...

The ES is already a mini contract in itself WYI. So please, dont talk about mini futures as 0.1 the size of a mini. What you are talking about it CFDs, Contract For Difference. Some shady market makers outside the US offer them (I have no clue how they hedge) usualy for a comish, higher spread...

Long GBP/USD, look at a monthly chart.

lol, yeah, I'm way behind. But working forward.

2 fills, 2 longs, 1 win, 1 loss, -0.02 average. Cancelled 2/3, too many!

No, I did not expect it to last that long. I also had a view on the currency exchange that was on my side.

"Paulson Buys AngloGold Stake" Thanks man, I appreciate.
