I'm now logged in, but have no data at all. :mad:

Also stuck at "login in progress" here. Never had this happen before.

You have rediscovered the basic problem with trend catching systems - works great for trends and doesn't work in chop.

When the dividend yield of the index is higher than the interest cost of the index the futures fair value premium is negative.

Go to the IB website and read the details of their IRA accounts. IB has a margin type IRA account that allows you to day trade equities with more than $25,000 (PDT rules still apply when under $25,000). There are many people who actively trade in IRA accounts and I have yet to find a single...
