The OP is long from 1500 on the SandP, so give him a break. He's sat through a huge draw down. This rally and screaming at shorts makes him feel like he's getting his revenge. Remember, those who are not successful traders, hate and demonize shorters. They blame shorters for all their...

Got any more details?

It would be far more simple to just say it is the index of all these stocks, because the index as well computes no dividends.

I would just move to scottrade and pay much higher commissions. Screw it all. No seriously, IB is for professional traders, and it's dirt cheap. You can have your cake and eat it too.

I was short and I lost 50 bucks. On my last winning trade I made over 2,500. So no, I'm not getting burned. Only losing traders try to pick market direction.

Consider it just like trading a broad market ETF, it's the same thing. Index futures are cash settled, so in reality you're buying nothing with an index futures contract. Here's a nice and free into video to futures...

I see, Mr. Double, so you answer your own questions? Why just open two accounts and trade the opposite of what you do in the other account. If you still lose money, then your problem is money management.

One thing you have to remember about Buffet, he didn't see the first crash coming, so I'm not sure why would see the second crash coming.

I agree with the other posters. For those who take the time to learn the tool, we don't need nor do we want little pop up windows popping around all the time.

I can't watch it either, has anyone found a link to watch it? I found the trailer for it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWRphrYmj94

Simplify your life, you're probably trying too hard to predict the markets. Here's a good video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EJijCXfuzo

I'm not sure why every one keeps talking about the spread like it's a cost. Even if it were then the YM would not be cheaper using that metric. With the YM you'll find your stop getting busted through, and often times the spread will widen. The SandP 500 is the leading world index, so I...

Picture SSO, and SDS. If you buy SSO and it moves up you make money, if it moves down, you lose money. Same for SDS. Same for the ES. You buy it. If it moves up 1 point you make 50 bucks, if it moves down one point, you lose 50 bucks. You don't actually own anything, you're just borrowing...

Looks like no stop loss.

But there are few successful traders that would have time to post rude comments on a forum, if any at all.

Has ET become so desperate for advertising dollars that these appear: http://www.wallstreetwindow.com/twofoldformula.htm I'm afraid to even click their link for fear of adware or malware.

Granted with SPY you can actually be paid to trade if you're trading very large size.

Esignal offers the program through IB with no problem, so what is IQ feed's problem? Fills are better with IB than infinity, and the platform is far more reliable. Infinity will randomly crash and do crazy things. Also, contrary to popular opinion, they do not put each trade through to the...

As seen on CNBC is a bad sign.

Every one trades the ES, and also the big SandP contract. It is the leader of the world.
