when does NKD start trading? Apparently in Japan it's already traded but the CME NKD hasn't shown any new prices...

RunTrade, Mark Cuban is one of the luckiest market timer. He sold his company to Yahoo during the PEAK (circa 1999) for BILLIONS. Then he bought PUTS on the yahoo stocks to hedge himself. So even though YHOO crashed he still net billions! In additon, at markets low 2002, he put in more...

traderstatus, So, should I segregate my futures into 6781? and the stocks trades into Line1 of Schd? Or can I commingle them all together in line 1 and add up the total losses? thanks.

tradestatus, So, do i need to print out a D-1? Or can I just submit tonsof trades from TraderLog? I thought that was sufficient. Also, in line #4, there's a form called 6781. It deals with futures. Do I need to submit that? Or can I just commingle all the losses into line 1 and say see...

hi jerry, do you have historical chart for the NKD contract yet? How abotu the ags(corn, cattle, hogs, soybeans,etc.) just wanted to kwno the progress since you said you will have it out in 2005. It's 2006 now. thanks,

It's NOT physics. It's called engineering. hehe

traderstatus, I got a question on the Sch. D. If you traded stocks, futures, and options what do you put on line 2 and 3? "Line 2: Enter your shor-term totals, if any from Schedule D-1, line 2." Is that the total NET gains or losse? Where is the Schedule D-1? Is that a separate form...

i sure hope so for many good reasons... hehe

Joe, I hate to say this. But I'l love to see you go short gold futures with real money. I would bet it will go higher. Though the charts on the longer term looks a little extended at least in the short run. I would n't short here...

Yeah, that's what happened. I'm still trying to get that squared away.

well, the IRS said I made a very substantial amt of $ in 2003 in excess of everything I ever made or own multiply by several orders. When in fact, in 2003, I had my biggest losing year in IB! So, the only way for that to happen is for them to count the notional value of the futures...

vhehn, thanks for your informative response. I appreciate that. So, how do I respond to the IRS? Where can I get the forms and the info to justify that I had a HUGE LOSS not a huge gain for 2003? I'm using TradeLog and I was able to generate 2004 and 2005. 2003 no monthly statements...

vhehn, The freakin' rocket scientists at the IRS don't understand futures. And IB sent them a stmt for 2003 and they take the NOTIONAL value as a gain. Geez. How do you report? Please advise. thanks

Hi def or any other IB support person, I'm using TradeLog software to do Schedule D for 2003. The IRS doesn't understand about futures and it said I owe a lot of $ when in fact 2003 was by far my WORST(large negative loss) year ever. :( But in order to use TradeLog sw I need to import...

def, I'm a long time user of IB and I really enjoyed the platform. Last night, I put on a YM trade. And I put a stop (buy stop since I was short) at 10951. But this morning when I checked my trades TWS bought the contract at 10971!!! Why did TWS covered me like 20pts away(that's...

Nice to have a at least $100M in your "PERSONAL BROKERAGE ACCOUNT" LOL! Imagine that. Logging into IB, E-Trade, Fidelity and whip around a $100M, which Buffett considers too SMALL for Berkshire. A $100M is practically the size of many mid-sized hedge funds. Buffett is DA MAN. He likes to...

Dang. This would make IB cheaper than some prop shops! Whoa. And no desk fees crap either. And no push for volume too. Interesting.

NOT POSSIBLE! And wouldn't want to! I'm a white collar professional dude. Anyhow, I was thinking of trading futures or fx at night. But need to find a liquid and deep markets with decent moves and vol. Know any?

steve46, I actually have a valid edge now. Took me a while to get there. I spent 3 yrs doing full-time trading. The last year or so I went back to a full-time normal regular job. I do a little bit of daytrading and now some swing trading. And the funny thing is that I see some really good...
