according to your website, they're approved for US traders: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/eligibleProducts.php?ib_entity=llc yes, please double check (though it certainly appears that they're approved), and if you have any information on how i could trade them thru...

bump (since it's trading hours in asia now)...

According to the IB site, the US regulatory site, etc- options on the HSI/HHI.HK futures are approved for US traders. but... nobody actually offers trading in them (not even IB)- at least not that i can find. i would really like to be able to trade these. a little thin, but spreads are...

thanks for the link. i never saw that episode of the daily show- funny stuff. 'msnbc's dirty over 30 anchors' made me spit my water.

has anyone else noticed that Maria seems to be trying WAAAAAYYYY too hard to compete with the younger fresher meat on cnbc? she's laughing and overly animated in a Hillary on the sunday morning talkshow circuit kinda way. frankly, if you watch her eyes darting and looking back @ the camera...

it must be related to the US server. i am on the Hong Kong server and it is working fine- i just closed down TWS and restarted it to make sure (it's the lunch break in Hong Kong, so i'm not trading now). figure the data point might help you guys. amazing that this is jsut what a said i was...

Anek- mind throwing in your .02 HK$ on this (on topic, different market).. i imagine you'd wait for a level of confirmation on any reversal- something that can mean missing 10% in the HSI (Hang Seng). if you look at the HSI...

i've had this happen a couple of times. my guess is that the code sequence goes awry and it's either looking at the previous or next code generated. what i did was make sure i had entered the last code, then shut down TWS, rebooted my computer (prolly not necessary) and then tried again- each...

no, you would be the stupid fuck. "m"= 1,000, "mm"= 1 million. my post said 100m. i operated under the assumption that on a financial related site, people knew what "m" meant. the point was that i cannot believe that people would keep over (here, i will help you out this time) $100,000 in...

"NetBank had $109 million in deposit accounts that exceeded the FDIC limit. Those customers will become creditors in NetBank's receivership, the FDIC said." wow. who are these people?!? given the known issues with this bank i find this figure incredible. even more as a % of their deposits...

yeah, that's a fine idea. i'm a bit tired of IB reps pretending like you respond to trouble tickets (and then acting incredulous that anyone would say otherwise- as if the person were lying). my early july trouble ticket just got it's INITIAL response (ya know, the one you guys tell us will...

i use IB and, in looking at the various options chains on the different wheat contracts, i do not see ANY volume- ie: zero. could you direct me to any wheat contracts that actually trade- i assume i'm missing something...

agree with your 'line in sand' for shorts. what is the basis for your 1523-25 being the 'last hope for bulls'? are you just taking a few points off of support as 'proof' that it it's broken?

the only problem with the theory is that EVERYONE subscribes to it. when they interview people on the street in China who are buying with both fists, they people say the govt. won't allow the market to fall b4 the olympics, so it's up up and away at least until then. so many Chinese believe...

i spent a fair amount of time a few years back around an Aussie and a Irish guy who both used it, and it kinda stuck. funny you would bring it up, as i have bloomberg Asia on in the background (i trade the Hong Kong markets) a fair bit. a couple weeks ago i heard an analyst use the term- made...

how is it that us punters on this thread seem to have a better grasp than our elected and appointed 'leaders'? collapsing $ and bonds- gee, didn't see that coming. how exactly has the yield run up in the 10 and 30 year treasury mortgage benchmarks help the people with mortgages resetting...

thanks for posting- was wondering where your stops were. the ER2 has been a leading indicator today and it's bounced quite a bit off the low. i'm also disappointed that we haven't really been able to muster a good woosh down- been in drips and drabs.

little harsh. if he was a broker and decided to try trading his own acct., he might not want to park it @ a prop shop as there is a stigma attached if he later tries to/needs to get back into that game. so, if not @ a prop shop, it's quite difficult to find someone who will let you hang your...

nice to see somebody in the press has an understanding of what just happened- had to cross the pond for it whilst the heads @ cnbc were so giddy that i thought Maria should excuse herself to go clean herself up and grab a change of clothes...

could see another 1000 points on the already overbought HSI tonight. i got my head handed to me a couple of days in mid august and i've been clawing back (recouped about 40% of the loss so far) as the market has been back to more normal volatility for the HSI/HHI. a bit afraid to trade it...
