Can I import Interactive Brokers trade statements (daily, monthly)? That would be the #1 criteria for me.

Here are two recommendations to finish off the macro book idea list. Own & read both. Easy to read. Can recommend them to anybody interested in the macro topic: "Alchemy of Finance" http://www.amazon.com/Alchemy-Finance-Reading-Mind-Market/dp/0471042064 "Inside the House of Money"...

Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate it. In addition to the above, here is a list of books I researched over the weekend. I can not recommend these yet since I do not own them yet. However, they just appear to match my criteria so far and I wanted to share the list with interested forum...

Shanghai Composite Index 02:37 AM 3,699.87 +115.67 +3.23% Looks like a start to another great week!!!! There is no stopping us longs!

Just short individual stocks and go long the index futures bro!!! At least you can rest assured 100% the big indexes will always close in the green so that's some risk less $$$ to hedge out your short stock bets :p

I am looking to expand my library and one dry area is macroeconomy - both theory and application for the world of investment (I am not interesting in texts covering political or governmental issues, such as "capitalism vs. socialism" or "how to combat poverty" etc. etc.) So I am looking for...

C., the only way to find out is by backtesting. Guessing "I think it would be profitable" is a waste of your time and likely also money. You have to throw everything into a system and see how it would have performed under different market conditions. If it did well in the past only then you...

Historically, shorter term premium is priced higher than longer out premia. Since you're buying options you should consider buying the straddles out far enough (1 year) for the prices to develop sufficiently. I suggest you backtest your strategy but historical options data is not easy to...

Thank God you're switching finally, one less 5k account newbie harassing IB with ridiculous questions and requests. Go hassle another broker instead of IB.

What do you expect. Of course they get angry reading these ridiculous questions and insinuations against their company. They know they run a tight ship, and yet have to read through heaps of assumptions and paranoia stories from 5k account "traders". Can't blame them for stinging back!

Breaking through resistance, more upside to come. Easy $$$!!!!

Congrats again to all overnight long index future holders. Enjoy the $$$ and there's more to come!!!

The amount of whining in this thread is amazing! Why not open a thread "WHY DOESN'T IB GIVE AWAY FREE MONEY TO EVERYBODY!!!"??? 1. Use a solid firewall & antivirus system on all PCs 2. Do not place trades from your "surfing" PC. Setup a home LAN. 3. Use IP restriction 4. Once available...

Just goto Etrade newbies. Leave IB alone. It's not for you.

Europe looking good here. DAX +1.1%, ESTX50 +1.2% God bless overnight longs!!!!!!

Good luck to him. Hope he won't have to share the fate of many other bears before him:

You should consider doing both sides of the equation! You are already half there with a solid carry trade, however I prefer JPY to CHF. Basically I just go long USDJPY 1:100 leverage. Nice swap interest $$$. Then, with the remaining cash I go 3xmargin long overnight into YM stock index...

CONGRATS TO ALL NAKED PUT SELLERS IN THE INDEXES!!!!!!!! Those naked SPY short put positions that many put on will expire worthless today thanks to the moron panicky bears that bought them in March!!!!! I LOVE SELLING PUTS TO CRAZED BEARS!!! FREE $$$
