Kiwi, I am not sure which time zone you are in. I am sure you have heard of DAX futures. It is a very good contract to trade. It is much thicker then HSI, and it is volatile, though not as much as HSI of course. Regards, redduke

Mirus actually has another FCM affiliation - RCG (Rosenthal Collins Group). A huge and reputable FCM. All funds are held in Harris Bank. I chatted with RCG this morning, and they highly recommened Mirus. I spoke with Mirus few months back, and they told me the following about zen fire speed...

Charting in Ninja 6 is very good. I used to have e-signal, but I do not need it anymore.

Totally agree. Starting last week, it basically became untradable. I went back to DAX for now. The hours are horrible for me (wake up call at 2:30am), but I can trade.

Paltalk is free, and stays free if the room is under 100 or so people. I would love to particpate in one, but I found if very distracting if trading on short term basis. I used to skype with few friends, and we all missed trades while replying, so we stopped it.

Like other said before, US financial system will not collapse in any foreseeable future. If the government is forced, they will just print money. Yes, the inflation will spiral, but the system will not collapse. And please do not think that you will be able to use money as toilet paper...

It is again way too volatile. 10-30 point gaps all the time. I am looking at t&s and see 22500, the next one 22530, and the spread jumps all over the place as well.

Hi Kiwi, Actually it is not. As recently as few days ago, I asked them if they support tick data on HSI, and they said no. And volume bars can not be built without tick data. Regards, redduke

i am srprised that yu getting volume bars filled at all. Volume bars require tick data and in does not support it.

I loved that line by Buffet: "I wish I could mark my assents to models and not market". I guess if all these CDOs are marked to market, we will see a blood bath like never before. Let's hope it does not come to it. I learned something new about CDOs, I had no clue they are amrked to...

Same here. Last week was really hard to trade. I also use tight stops and can not justify getting in a trade when my signal appears and spread is often 4-5 ticks or more.

I can not trade the market is a bit too wild right now, so I can post. Kiwi, Did you happen to catch it? Regards, redduke

Not following you here. Like I said, it depends on ones strategy which one is a better choice.

I also have an account with velocity, a very small one. I did not realize that FCMs invest their clients money. Is veloci ty in jepardy?

I remember seeing similar posts in 2000 after the decline began. It is exremely difficult to time such things on way down. It could look like a great buy 1 year from now, but you can loose a lot before you prediction turns right, but then it is too late. gloom and doom is fine if one really...

Very true and old story. People who created and pushed these CDOs could not care less about devastation they could cause. Their primary goal was commissions made in order to get bonus as big as possible. I have recently seen some article that all major financial firms bonuses will be 20% larger...

Wow, I am shocked. What are these guys are thinking? Do they only make exceptional returns when markets go up? I was thinking ranaisance is making a killing in these markets.

I live in Brooklyn. Let's set somethig up one of the evenings in manhattan.

I trade from US so radio is out of the picture for me I guess. However, I always check HK observastory right before market open: http://www.hko.gov.hk/contente.htm I did not trade last night. Was there anything on observatory about category 8 storm at least as possibility?
