    Can amazon be worth 40% of our national GDP??

    Amazon is my largest long term hold since they announced adding over 100K + jobs asap. Even after covid-19, I think people will get used to ordering their drugs and groceries from amzn plus keep their prime. I predict that the company will be the first to reach 2T in market cap in 2021, or at...

    buying options for the stock of my employer's will it cause trouble?

    This isn't a tax issue, it's a securities issue so you'll need a securities based lawyer (there isn't a shortage of one). If your broker paperwork states your current employer it's probable that you're already being monitored from trading their securities. Insider trading charges could easily be...

    BOEING is going DOWN and it's taking whole market with it. Crash is inevitable

    I don't agree with "market crash" but I do believe DJ30 is in more trouble than S&P/NSDQ. Short dj/long q's may be a good play until early fall.

    MCD is in big trouble. May not exist in 5 years

    Too many stupid people have poor taste and MCD control so many core locations - it's hard to avoid. Tim Hortons essentially sells bland hospital food and they've exploded somehow (nearly 600 stores in USA, nice one). Don't underestimate a growing idiotic and careless population.

    Canadian available brokers - Fastest first 15 min fills

    It's better to be a dick and make casual traders question their abilities rather than give them benefit of the doubt and let them fail. The 2 main issue with Ross' style is that he always buys too late into confirmations and scalps /exits too quickly. Quite difficult for people to duplicate his...

    Canadian available brokers - Fastest first 15 min fills

    I specialize in the top 10 weighted Nasdaq stocks, minus pep, and I actually avoid the first 15min unless I have reason to believe the stock opens severely undervalued. Unless you mainly trade google, amazon, and tesla (market makers kill intraday traders on the first two stocks) then your fills...

    Canadian available brokers - Fastest first 15 min fills

    Paper trade until you're green 3/5 days a week, 3/4 weeks a month, until then your broker choice won't matter. Us Canadians are stuck with IB or centerpoint unless you want to work for or partner with an international firm.

    CERB and day trading..maybe someone can help

    It depends on the frequency which is CRA's call and it also depends on if you report it as income, but the default is capital gains. If you are doing this almost every day then switch to a registered account or open a corporation. But let's be real, the start of April was the market bottom and...

    how to learn trading?

    Learn equities, it's the easiest route. Once you learn equities then futures become easier. Just pay a trading firm that can give you actual proof of results. Who cares if it costs a few grand if they can teach you how to make 6-7 figures and give you the best deal on commissions, execution...

    Which ECN to use for MKT & Stop loss orders?

    Thanks I'll look into it. I was also advised to check ALLINWT as this apparently will fill the best price?

    Which ECN to use for MKT & Stop loss orders?

    I mainly trade the highest weighted stocks in nasdaq and dj30 and was advised by my prop firm to use ARCA since it routes out to other market centers in the event of no liquidity on the book. I'm curious if people use ARCA for this reason in order to obtain the best market price available...

    GMT & MGB Trading

    Thanks for your comment Baron. For me, it is odd if they were trying to screw me over, they never requested a deposit yet but we agreed on an amount. Sand, this is a prop sub-forum so IB's 4x intraday leverage isn't what we are looking for... Voltaren, did you wire either of them a deposit and...

    GMT & MGB Trading

    I'm curious if anyone else is having issues with Global Market Trading or MGB Trading (Canada). For GMT (global market trading), we agreed on all the terms via e-mail but they were not ready to process a formal application because they were changing clearing firms but will be ready by very...

    How to obtain stock price target changes as its public?

    Hello, What is the fastest ways to obtain price target (usually 12 months) updates or even buy/sell/hold recommendation changes from major analyst houses? Example, UBS improved outlook for BA pre-market and there was an easy float from market open to close. I've signed up for UBS free news...

    Underfunded fx daytrader looking for advice

    I tried binaries out of curiosity 3 or 4 years ago. I didnt do well transferring my futures strat over. I should have done well since i used similar time frames. Is it easier to make money in binaries these days? Im sure competition has opened up since then so maybe payouts are better.

    Thinking about CME/IOM membership

    This should be only for corps/people residing in the US I assume. People/corps outside of the US shouldn't have that issue since this is a US tax.
