    Loonietics

    getting a nice move on that. Cool that you've locked in some profit on a retrace, but I think this does have a little bit to run. esp today. Dollar has alot of strength (relatively speaking) going into the weekend.

    Does this offer seem legit?

    Melbourme IT is the choice that Microsoft uses to register domains with their free Office Live web hosting service. Since MS is not a registrar, they have to use someone. Could have been GoDaddy. But in this case, Melbourne IT. They are also nothing more than an Domain Name vulture. They...

    ECN or BANK

    Unless you have 10MM+ most banks will not deal with you. You are better off with ECN model. There is one firm out there that offers prime with 100k to start, and scalping (in that I think you mean very short term trading) is not a problem.

    H-1b

    Anyone can submit an application for H-1b visa sponsorship but generally there are strict requirements that the employer has to present to justify the application. Plus gvt only issues 65k new H-1b visas a year. Based on the needs and resources I have seen and read with most prop shops, they...

    Does Opening a New Credit Card Ding Your Credit Score?

    opening new card will knock about 10 pts off the score which could take 6 months or more to regain, especially if you use more than 30% of available credit when they report to agencies. If your credit is spectacular, not a bog deal, but if your are Alt-A or subprime, it hurts.

    Is there a faster way to get economic reports than CNBC or Bloomberg Channels

    If you want "free", open an Oanda demo account and use the integrated news feed. Not as fast as paid Reuters/Thompson or DJ Newswires or Bloomberg terminal, but you will get it quicker than waiting fore that ubiquitous CNBC portfolio challenge to finish.

    New York Area Traders

    Yeah I know they did, but makes sense as Goldman Sachs clearing is on that side of the river. I live in JC. Rosie's is one of those nice after work places to go. And not really across the street. More like right outside the Path entrance. 25 steps.

    Trading on Presidential Futures

    If the economy tanks going into the elections, McCain is toast. No Republican in recent memory has won the election when the country's economy has been in a recession. I think the spreads are what's important on a bet like this. As it stands, Obama has over a 15 pt advantage on McCain. Depending...

    What can a trader do as a secondary job to supplement income.

    If you stop looking at equities after 1130, try looking at other asset classes and start looking for patterns that may develop in these time frames.

    Ride up is over

    Short what? It'd be really cool if you referenced the pair in the title of the post or in the first post's txt rather than only on the graph. Make it interesting rather than ambiguous. Ambiguous should only be used for metrosexuals.
