What is your definition of a confirmed break?

Well the same thing could have been said about his 1289.50 level. That too was pierced on the same day, and the next higher level, 1296 was not touched before price confirmed a break below 1289.5. So, had one followed "the lesson" they either cut their profit short or were stopped out on a...

IMO, LEAPup, there is no easy way out of your situation. Either you continue to suck-it-up and be a modern-day broker with all its warts and flaws, or you strike it out on your own. But, having little capital is obviously a big problem. Oh, you can no doubt find some prop firm to trade...

Close enough. 1 Emini S&P is the equivalent of 500 shares of SPY. SPY closed today @$127.58. So, $127.58 x 500sh x 10 cars = $637,900. $50,000/$637,900 = Equity margin ratio of 7.84%

What is the margin requirement to trade 1 contract?

Only 3 out of the 230 House Democrats voting voted against H.R. 3221. Oh yeah, I can see some real deficit reduction happening in the next 4 years. :mad: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll519.xml

Dude, the OP is the creator/writer of the article, check out the names.

My thoughts? First, you must have given your English teachers fits. What's with the random, improper capitalization of numerous words throughout your piece? Secondly, you speak of the Investment Rate (TM) indicator without ever explaining what it is, or how it works. This is followed up...

Sure replace the fan, no problem, done it many a time. I like the Panasonic Panaflo Silent fans. Find them on Ebay. Your existing fan may be hard wired onto the circuit board of the PS. If so, just cut the wires and splice the wires of the new fan to the old wires. A little electrical tape...

Well, you know what, my shrunken brain as you call it, knew the IB commission per side was $1.20, not $2.40 as you stated. Jeb9999 politely pointed out your error, but you couldn't or wouldn't see it. Tell me, was that due to your ignorance or your arrogance?

Hahahaha, just like everything else ML_Quant posts on ET is wrong, so is his "100% correct" table. Damn, I don't even trade through IB, but I know from looking at their website under Futures Commission, that the IB COMMISSION for the ES is $1.20/side for 300 sides or less. Its not $2.40 as...

Well, I'm no expert, but I have built a number of my own computers. One issue that might arise is if the cloned drive is an IDE drive as opposed to the newer SATA drives you may have a problem using it in a new computer because the new comp. may not have either a power connector that will fit...

Wrong again you lying fraudster. You said your pics "belong to early hours and early morning". Oops, big problem there for you because when the CME re-opens trading @4:30 EST, its a new trading day as far as the CME is concerned. That means at precisely 4:30:00 the ES volume is reset to 0...

Apples and oranges. IndyMac was a bank that took deposits, paid interests on those deposits and made loans, a lot of them bad apparently. Indymac depositors were largely protected by FDIC. Its shareholders are not. Fannie and Freddie do not accept deposits. They make mortgage loans and...

Well, just as love means never having to say you are sorry, (Love Story, 1970. Yeah, I know I'm old.) having hard stops means never having to say "I'm wrong". Its done. Its over with, move on to the next trade. Decision making is taken out of the equation. Doesn't that make for a more...

Perhaps you should consider the following: -2 ES Fixed Stop -2 ES " -2 ES " -2 ES " -2 ES " Net loss = 10 or even -3 ES Fixed Stop -3 ES " -3 ES " -3 ES " -3 ES " Net loss = 15 vs - 3 ES Looking for lesser pain - 2 ES " - 3 ES " - 2 ES " - 8 ES Oops enough...

I think you mis-understood my sarcasm. I'm not looking for anything. Like the OP, it has taken me years to become consistently profitable trading SIFs. Oh, and I didn't get that way except through a hell of a lot of screen-time. Keep that in mind as you scroll through the threads here on ET...

Goodness knows we would miss those after the close, rear-view mirror charts if you were to leave. Oh, wait a minute, you expressly stated in your first post, your purpose here is not to teach. Never mind, feel free to leave.
