nitro, you're too funny. :p Incidentally, wouldn't memturbo or a similar shareware utility show actual usage?

Thanks! :)

Excellent solution here, going back 5 years: http://biz.yahoo.com/c/ec/200101.html It was just posted in this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60464 Thanks, macal625!

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49104 Welcome to ET, e-thug! To get the most out of it, you'll want to take advantage of the Search function at the top right. Currently around 1,475 IQD/USD, based on http://www.cbiraq.org/cbs6.htm. ("Sweetish" Krone, anyone?...)...

:D Thanks, SSB. Too bad. Back on Dec. 4th in this thread, I posted this: So, it wasn't my plausible theory #2 after all. It was #3 all along. That's a shame. What a disappointment, after getting all excited on Dec. 3rd (the original IB email date), then patiently waiting for a week.

No. No such option there. Or anywhere else. tt1452, appreciate your trying to help, but... let me ask you: did you actually read my previous post, before offering advice?

def, Well, Dec. 12th business hours are over. When I log into IB Account Management, unfortunately, there are still no menu options to set up a Papertrader account. I've been checking daily over the last week, under "Trading Access" top-level menu, as mentioned by poster u130747 above, as...

If you go to Help - Contents and Index, then look up RSQ under the Index tab, it'll give you the exact formula.

How ironic, isn't it? I say that because most retail forex traders, except the most skilled / experienced ones, would be better off, in terms of probability of becoming consistently profitable, with account leverage externally capped at 15:1 or even less. Averaging P&L of just 10 pips a day...

Michael, I honestly don't know the answer to that. Yet. What I think would be ideal to help arrive at an optimal exposure factor at any given time, subject to user-defined constraints (such as max DD and expected total return, to name two) is a historical simulation of how a hedged carry...

But it's still early...:p OK, thanks, I did see your reply to mahras2 after posting my question on the exposure factor. Now, here's the $64,000 question for you. Why not put on the highest value basket (approx. 32:1 leverage, from my ongoing experience trading a hedged carry basket over...

Are there any noteworthy differences between this system and the one described in your previous Cash & Carry journal? How is the 0.60 exposure factor derived?

Yeah, more than 6 months would be very helpful indeed. If anyone knows of such a calendar / website, even if not free, please share...

kenazen, from your post I take it that you are both new to forex and have not had an opportunity to play with demo accounts yet. Would those be fair assumptions? A demo account is perfect for answering questons like this, among a million others, and you'd do yourself a favor by taking full...

Probably because CAD has been going nowhere but sideways this entire week... You still long USD/CAD, right?

You *might* get a better entry on your 2nd trade, but what is stopping them from "re-adjusting" your spread, once you're in it? That's even assuming that you'll be able to enter that 2nd trade at the better-than-true-market price, as opposed to entering the wonderful world of 1) delays, 2)...

Really? Hmm... Not sure which pairs you guys are talking about, but I found the price action in both cable and euro last night / this morning to be very nice and tradeable. Upside volatility explosion yesterday, spanning 2 sessions, after a relatively slow week... a textbook backfill / retrace...

A few months ago, I resolved to get this not-so-minor aspect of my trading optimally "handled". Researched mice online (CNET, PCMag, etc., and, of course, ET). Narrowed it down to about 3 (corded) models, then went over to a Best Buy and played around with the large selection of mice they had...

How far back do you want to be able to go? Most online calendars I've seen don't allow you to view even the previous week, unless you enjoy playing around with Google Cache search. Up to about 6 months back here, currently since mid-June...

You don't say... How hard is it to establish residency in PR, for tax purposes? Does one need to verifiably spend 183 days a year down there, or something?
