Yeah, I saw it when it happened and thought some breaking news about ECB or something significant had occurred. When I read through all of the stories afterwards I'm still thinking "WTF". That was a pretty huge spike for after hours trading / no news.

I trade currency futures after hours and the spread remains tight (1-2 ticks) for all of the currencies you listed (NZD is sometimes wider). I have had some trouble with CME currency futures on Sunday nights but they were more related to technical issues at the exchange than market conditions...

Mine takes about 2-3 minutes to turn on and get going. I have Vista too but would probably go with XP if I had it to do over again. Most of your delay is probably due to Vista's sluggishness loading all of it's services. You can probably speed it up considerably by disabling all of the unneeded...

I agree he is where he belongs. He could still move merchandise more efficiently to third world countries than could FedEx. Sometimes you have to marvel at the cleverness of the the criminal mind. Oh and be sure to put the modern military industrial complex in the same category as you did him...

here you go increasenow, this will help you out. do the calculations over and over until you have it down cold like the previous poster said. g/l

I think by "stabilize the Middle East" he means stability for more wars and arms sales. The war machine has to protect it's future growth prospects right?

If you liked Lord of War you might find this article interesting. It is about Viktor Bout who was much of the real-life inspiration for Cage's character in that movie. Bout was recently arrested in Thailand setting up an arms deal to Columbian rebels. By all accounts, he is a brilliant guy but...

All I can tell you is that your world comes from within and not from anywhere or anyone else. If you have love and joy as your purpose and faith as your center your world will begin to "rhyme" with this feeling. Negativity breeds negativity. If you are not feeling these feelings, start reach for...

I don't disagree with _some_ of what you say but I don't think you are ready to just stay on the "other side". I frankly think you have some evolving to do, based on some of your past posts on here. The purpose of physical life is to experience joy and love and know your spiritual self from a...

They definitely do happen, especially with brokers who have poor risk management. This was part of the undoing of Refco. I am very wary of brokers charging very low margins for this reason.

Only if you are buying options. If you are writing (selling) naked puts and calls your losses are theoretically "unlimited".

Sure... if you have any other questions before deciding just pm me. I initially bought it just for out of town use but now I've taken to using it more around the house than I use my laptop.

Yep. That's the primary reason I bought it. I can trade on TWS and run multiple web browsers, etc. with no problem. The hard drive can get a little slow with lots of I/O but if you just run TWS and minimal other apps you shouldn't have a problem. If you can justify the price to get the solid...

With the double capacity battery and broadband modem it can last about 4 hours give or take from what I've seen.

I have used it for the last few months. PM me if you have any questions on it. I would highly recommend based on use so far.

I haven't noticed any problems on my end. It has been pretty solid this week.

LOL. "That's right. I'm Brock Landers. So I'm going to be nice...Where the fuck is Ringo you bitch?". Yeah, this board needs a Chest Rockwell. How much can you bench?

You must have had a pretty wide stop. They spiked it up pretty big just before the numbers came out. Nice trade!

Yes, you can do this with IB. I've converted Euros to Dollars through them.

I still don't get why you are so bothered by this or surprised that some would exaggerate or lie on an anonymous Internet message board. You can always choose to not read it or ignore those who offend your sensibilities. If you want to see even lower lows turn on the nightly news or read the...
