    Something a trader should never do

    1. Never take a laxative just before the market opens. 2. Never take Viagra just before the market opens. 3. Never take Viagra and a laxative together. You won't know if you're coming or going.

    Another point you should check is if you buy through J-Net do you have to close the position through J-Net too. That could be tricky.

    eSignal : incorrect futures continuation in (vs Bloomberg)

    I don't have time right now to check what's wrong but from what I can see on your chart, the symbol doesn't appear to include the months following the 'B' which may be the cause of your problem. You might want to check out the KnowledgeBase...

    Yeah, 50 yen is good. Matsui has always been the leader in this respect. He was the first to offer lower commissions back in 1997. More than that though, I like the 50x margin rate.

    Nikkei 225 mini from Osaka Exchange, Commission?

    I think the orders/cancellations go through. The problem is that you can't use BookTrader again during the hanging period.

But I dumped that after I learned to read the price movement, finding that there are only so many things that can happen at...

    Nikkei 225 mini from Osaka Exchange, Commission?

    Most of the brokers here charge between 40 and 50 yen. Just one charges less, 35 yen. But even if you wanted to use a cheaper broker in Japan you wouldn't be able to as you must have an address in Japan. Also, IB's intraday margin is less than what the brokers here require, which is mostly 100...

    Please tell me the term for......

    That article has nothing to do with this, and the type of futures position in question is not illegal in Japan and has been offered by the brokers here since 1987. Again you called me stupid. You should go down the hall to your mommy's room and ask her to teach you some manners so that you can...

    Of course he could place a stop buy. But as he does not know the direction of the move, he would need to place a stop sell order too, tying up additional margin that could be used elsewhere. While I personally do not need to use this tactic, it may be sound for some. And I can not agree with...
