hitwyzard, thanks for the Oscar update and warning. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but experienced futures traders knew Oscar was a snake oil salesman right from the start. Futures trading and snake oil salesmen are a well known combination. You have to do your own work and...

IB sends these special insider buy signals to their customers because they want their customers to make lots of money and have large account balances. That way the customers pay more commissions over the long run.

For ES TWS gives you an instant fill on market orders after you transmit the order. Limit orders get an instant fill once the ES goes at least 1 tick past your limit price. If you are an active trader then look at IB's BookTrader.

What spam? If large numbers of ET traders used Ameritrade then there would be lots of complaints about their quotes being down all day. It appears that the vast majority of ET traders are smart enough to use real brokers and not bottom feeders.

It applies to all futures.

Yes, GM maintains a top secret website that only super special pricks like me can find. If you can't find the 3 billion news stories on GM you need more help than I can possibly give you.

Why don't you read the ubiquitous GM news reports and answer your questions yourself?

I think you misread your prize announcement. There were six winners, so you are only going to get 10.6 million pounds. I hope you are not too disappointed. My $23.5 million from my dear friend in Nigeria will be showing up any day now. I gave them my account number for my account in the very...

It is really great when you win a lottery without buying a ticket.

My credit union gets 4 stars and ranking of 2. I only keep $75 there because they pay near zero interest on savings and checking accounts, but they also have zero fees. Makes a great account to link with banks like ING Direct that pay higher interest rates.

There are plenty of stupid people out there. There are the ones that put more than $100K in a bank for a measly 25 extra basis points knowing that the FDIC only insures the first $100K per person. And there are the ones that have a couple thousand dollars and withdraw all of it because they are...

Traders use IB as a broker for two keys reasons- experience and expectations. If you understand how the markets work and how brokers work you want to use a broker that has the same understanding. You don't want your hard earned capital being risked by the broker or by the broker's other...

All 500 stocks in the S&P 500 don't open for trading at 09:30. At 09:33 the SPX was at 1215.94 before it had an uptick. There is normally no arbitrage available at the open.

With a TD Ameritrade account you get 20 days intraday. I just looked at an overnight chart of EMDU8 and there is proper empty space when no trades occur. Handles globex emini hours just fine for me.

Range in the ES today is almost 30 points, that's $1500. I wonder how many accounts at the brokers that have $500 margins for index futures got blown out today?

It applys to all futures contracts.

Since they are Marxists they don't mind being called socialists.:D

It is if you trade futures.

I do not believe that the risk of a highly leveraged, unlicensed and unregulated firm is easily quantifiable. I do know that it is outside my idea of acceptable risk parameters.

Why does anyone with any sense even consider dealing with BS unlicensed firms like this? If you want leverage, then trade futures and blow out your account with a fully licensed and regulated futures broker. There are a number of futures brokers that offer $500 margin for daytrading ES...
