    Ok Guys-here's The Deal With Prop

    Realistically you need 30k to daytrade. That 25k figure is the threshold that separates day traders from regular traders, so if your account balance drops below that figure, you are already flagged. This is why Assent and Genesis require 30k to open a retail account to day trade. As to IB...

    Which Futures & Forex Brokers are recommended for more than $100K?

    You know something? If you think the "house" is always out to get you and you have little or no chance of winning, don't trade it. Stick with futures and equities. As to variable margins, have you traded with IB or another futures broker lately? Have your margins stayed the same? Has the...

    Question on Interactive Brokers?

    As to why one would trade the mini? Volume, baby! You can get the daily volume figures off the CME website, but as an example, on Weds past, e-mini total volume was 1.6M contracts whereas the big contract only did 32K.

    Which Futures & Forex Brokers are recommended for more than $100K?

    Actually the increased margins on the weekends are a good idea for those who go into the weekend carrying a position. The decreased leverage will help insure that you won't over-leverage your account over the weekend when it could gap up or down on the open. They're not the only ones who do...

    FDIC looking to boost headcount by 70%, prepares for bank failures

    I was saying that back in 2001. Those dollars would have had a better return had they been re-invested in back into this country through various infrastructure jobs that have, over the past few years, become evidently in need of repairs and major upgrades. Think about it, bridges that may not be...

    hotpsotfx as pure agent

    Their commission is more accurately stated as: $3/100k b(ase) c(urrency) u(nit) per side/leg. Translated, if you trade GBP/USD, a 100k lot is 100k GBP bcu's and even tho dollar value is around $200k, the commission is charged against the units, not the dollar value as most other ECNs...

    Question about IB (since they won't reply to my emails)

    IB has, what they call, a Universal Account in which all funds from trading different products are aggregated together. Anything they list on their webpage that you are legally allowed to trade (I think US residents can't trade certain non-US equities?) can be traded from the one account...

    What is your leverage at Oanda?

    20:1 I use the same leverage levels I get on HotSpotfx so that trading styles will stay the same and we won't take unnecessary risks just because I have higher leverage on one vs another. But with Oanda, that leverage is misleading. At 50:1, that's the leverage you need to open a trade...

    IB for daytrading stocks?

    If you want to trade equities and you place it side by side with either Anvil or Laser (the 2 most popular) you will notice a noticeable difference in execution and performance. I feel the problem lies in the "jack of all trades" approach to the platform and the fact that it's front end is Java...
