So, let me get this straight... EUR rallies against others= good news. buy buy buy the DAX EUR falls out of bed vs others= either buy buy or, 'ehh, no problem, makes our exports more competitive' also, ES drops... ehhh, buy DAX, buy! after the move that the dax has made the past...

Sure, NOW you tell me! what contracts are you trading? the options on futures show little to no volume when i look at June. what contract/underlying (ie: are they options on the DAX futures contract) and what expiry date (there are 2 per month on the futures). thanks.

well, you've got the crying part right...

Well, I am going down with the ship. I wired in $ 3 hours ago to double what's left of my account, and now I'm going to hold overnight. So, I guess that means I'm going down with 2 ships! Basically, I have violated the most sacred of my rules and I'm in the prayer stage of an undisciplined...

6) fuck it. Dax to new highs and beyond. unfortunately, #'s 1-5 coloured my view and have done some serious damage to my account today.

I've been thinking the same thing re: the ES going back to the 1162 resist from sunday night/monday morning. Also trying to figure where that would put the DAX given it's extreme relative performance. It isn't just today, either. If you plot the ES and DAX over the past week, the DAX is...

Yeah, I'm one of the short victims. ES actually below fair value now. Dax futures went out at 4pm EDT @ 6047, so they're 65 points above that now. Refresh my memory, is it the US or the EU that's having more trouble right now?! Hoping (ok, praying at this point!) that the recouple...

sadly, the answer is yes. i think i represent a lot of IB customers in that i am a customer by necessity rather than by choice. key word being "choice". much to my puzzlement, no other broker has stepped up to truly compete with IB. therefore, if you trade a lot of shares, plus trade index...

has there ever been a negative thread about IB in the history of ET where old trader hasn't come in to assail the "offending party"?!? makes one wonder what motive would drive someone to have such a tireless obsession to defend IB- doesn't it.

and..... cheese, once again, catches the slow-witted mouse.

originally reuters, but it's everywhere. hell, even cnbc asia has been reporting it for an hour and they're usually 4 hours late on this sstuff.

question for those living is LOS now: 1. is IB your broker and, if so, what is your ping time and server (i assume you use the HK server)? i trade mainly futures (nikkei, OZ, and Europe), scalp and do a lot of trades, so IB is the broker that really suits my needs cost and product-wise)...

no offence, but if you don't recognize that chart on site, you really shouldn't be trading. there is a base basic general knowledge that one should endeavor to attain. it is the nikkei 225. to put the serial bad news poster, s2...., into place though: he is illustrating (knowingly or not)...

and the response.... nikkei up 1.5%. just think if they'd been down 20%, then we'd have really seen a move up.

and..... the EUR rallies. kinda get the feeling that, in this bizarro world market, if they announced that Greece broke off and fell into the sea, both the EUR and Greek stocks trading on the EUREX (since the Greek exchange would be submerged) would rally!

i can help: if the American people are stupid enough to give us a filli-proof super majority.... YES WE CAN and yes we will shove a radical anti-American liberal agenda down the country's throat that will cripple the country for decades to come.

given the % of down payment Chinese buyers ante up, they're not going to be walking away like in the US where 5% down was common, followed by a 110% LTV 2nd! when you have 50% equity from the get go, even a 50% bubble piercing drop will leave buyers with still way too much skin in the game to...

thanks for the laugh- first time i've actually laughed out loud all day. going under the assumption that this thread is tongue in cheek; as asking the ET masses for said advice is either a joke or a serious illustration of the depth of your sickness!

any idea what the news was that prompted the spike? neither my DJ News nor reuters is giving me any clue. along those lines, they prove to be next to worthless when trading asian markets- any suggestions (short of bloomberg- too rich for my blood) for an asian news service? for instance, the...

i just figured there was an order imbalance as teh powers that be debated whether to open it above 6000 or jsut get it over with and open it above 7000! as to the spike- thought it had to be fat finger til it drifted back up there. just think, if Greece defaults in january, we could see ES...
