    Need 10:1 Leverage

    That's even more stupid than LTCM's, "PhD's behind it, 100-1 leveraged play". We all know how those "big brains" fared.

    Need 10:1 Leverage

    So... you want somebody to back you... to leverage $25K equity on a $5,000,000 overnight position... where a 1/2% price hiccup wipes you out? "Experienced trader" or not, what are you... nuts?

    Trump Says The Internet Must Be 'Cut Off' To Stop More Terror Attacks

    Unfortunately, the definition of "Republican", "Democrat", "Conservative", and "Liberal" have been fluid over the years. Presently, "Liberal/Progressive/Socialist... even Nazi for the extreme psychos" ~ = American Democrat party. Bad for all of us. :(

    What makes you angry when you trade?

    Ditto. You need to place a stop on the trade, then leave it. Works or doesn't. If not it's only one of hundreds throughout the year... win or lose it's of no real consequence, regardless. Unless of course you get psycho about this one and turn a routine trade loss into a big loser by not...

    I'm looking for a GOOD charting package... any ideas?

    There are some Youtube videos on Sierra. Looks worthy of consideration.

    I'm looking for a GOOD charting package... any ideas?

    Update, FWIW..... Still can't run IB's TWS on my 24" secondary monitors. Will run on any single monitor + 2x, 20" monitors. Tried swapping out computers, monitors, video cards, cables, drives... no joy. Just seems to not like my 24's. Tired of wrestling with it... will just have to make...

    Does anybody really want to throw out good young people brought here by no fault of their own?

    Does anybody really want to throw out good young people brought here by no fault of their own? Ridiculous question. Illegal is "ILLEGAL". THROW OUT ALL OF THE ILLEGALS! MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THEM TO OTHERS WHO TRY TO ENTER ILLEGALLY. No different than robbing a liquor store, then not being...

    For all the DACA people out there.

    Maybe right. But the alternative was HELLARY! I'm still hoping Trump is able to accomplish something beneficial for America. Even if Trump is coopted by the left or turns tail... at least we get 4-years of "NOT HELLARY". Anything to slow the Leftist juggernaut! :(

    The best and worst indicators

    You do realize, don't you... that' you've describe "straight line" as both "best and worst". Well, at least you got it about MACD. Stupid. 2nd derivative of price. If you haven't figured it out before the "MACD cross"... (When somebody tries to explain a market thingy using "MACD", or...

    Futures have dropped! Great buying opportunity here?

    A 1/4 of 1% "dump" is a "great buying opportunity"??

    This is the time to talk about climate change

    Seems "truth/fact" is more a function of "who gets paid and how much". :(

    JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says bitcoin is a fraud that will eventually blow up

    Easy to understand. Before, bartered goods were "backed" by goods received for goods sold. There was/is always gold and silver. Then, there was/is paper money backed by some "government's promise to honor" currency as legal tender. What does bitcoin have? Besides the faith that "someone...

    North Korea Openly Threatens Electromagnetic Pulse Attack for First Time

    The "bright side" to an EMP attack. Who knew?

    They probably said that about tulips, too. Oh, wait... :)

    Funds availability for deposited checks. Is anyone worse than IB?

    Brokers don't have that, right?

    Funds availability for deposited checks. Is anyone worse than IB?

    I recently deposited a 6-figure amount to a Fideltiy trading account. Was reflected in my account "next day". Not sure what went on overnight to verify funds... "Overnight clearing" of funds between banks is most common these days. Requiring "10 days to clear" benefits someone, but not you.

    Funds availability for deposited checks. Is anyone worse than IB?

    Almost LOL! My bank (a regional) puts a 5-day hold on anything greater than $5,000.
