who cares, just trade the god damned things ...

'intraday fx player', read it at least 5 times (the best stuff is in the first 240 pages) and have charts from something like prorealtime.com with you while you read and go over the trades. The clue is seeing channels, taking the hourly for direction and snipershooting from the 1 minute risking...

for normal equities trading stops at 4 pm, there are no after hours quotes as the markets are closed. ETF-options remain being traded till 4:15. That's all. The reason: mm can't hedge decently in the underlying so it makes no sense for them to make markets. There will NEVER be options markets...

have you checked your prices of the papertrader with the real TWS. this could possibly clear up some problems ...

it was a long time I thought the same, however a thread on ET changed view about this six months ago. Been making money consistantly over the last few months, I have been profitable every day this month for example, and I am talking over 30 to 40 pips at least for the four hours I trade this...

you probably put it better into words than I did, but this is what I actually been trying to say all along.

I still claim it is quite simple but you are mixing up several things here with the equities transaction and making things difficult. If you buy securities and you convert currencies there is no need of any loan at all so case closed there. If you take out a margin loan for your securities you...

it's obvious you don't understand what they are saying and you are making this way too complicated. If you buy stocks in a foreign currnecy and you have no foreign currency you go debit in that currency they provide you with a loan. It is that simple, don't try to make this complicated.

no, it's not very different from exchange at a cash boot. If you got the currencies in your account you are just converting them, if you convert more than you got you are taking a loan. It's that simple.

Ideal is for small amounts, Idealpro for bigger ones you can use both for conversion as for speculation you only use a loan if you convert more than there was in your balance this is not complicated, please don't try to make it that way :D

this is not true

20 - 25 earnings is pricing it allready optimisticly. 35 is just way beyond reasonable. What kind of growth are you expecting ?

a reasonable price for Visa would be something like 55 USD not the current price. The forward pe at current level is just ridiculous.

This kind of flashing happens in ES too

according to logic, if an inverse fund reaches infinity it cannot appreciate more in value ... You might think I am fooling around here, but I am not, it's just (theoretical) math and logic.

it's related to procentual change. If the index goes down 10% the inverse ETF should go up 10%. If it goes from from 1 to 0.8, the inverse ETF goes up another 20%, if it goes from 0.8 tot 0.64 it goes up another 20%. 0 is the limit move, just like infinity of the reverse ETF. Of course in...

it's infinity

1. all depends on your taste, you can use whatever option you want, although longer term options will probably mean you are going to allocate a lot of capital to that for quite a while. Reasons to take longer term options is that their implied vol might differ substantially from the implied vol...

yes that's it (allthoug I haven't read the article, but that's the concept)

depends a bit on what you need it for, if I want to look at longer term charts ninjatrader is the best, for my actual trading I use the paid version of quotetracker (one of the things I like about it is more indicators and the fact you can more easily draw trendlines, I depend on this last thing...
