In general, yeah this should work. Sometimes though, there are conflicts between the two cards if they are from different manufacturers.

I dunno squat about Forex (and there are those who would say I don't know squat about anything :D ), but I gotta say that you want some basics in Fun Fer Mentals. Pick up some basic Von Misses. Realize that freedom, property rights, and limited government is what makes countries do well. The...

And I wasn't replying to you. Note that I quoted somebody else. That's kind of a hint. EDIT: I'll take some of this back, because you posted the interesting August summary over at that other thread. However, I suggest that you observe the etiquette of message boards in general (and...

Time fer some math. One year of trading at +15% per day = 1.15^240 = 36,938,706,618,205,300% Not too bad. So if one started with 25k, after one year one would have about 9,234,676,654,551,316 thousand dollars. Dang. I'm gonna drop this daytrading crap and start scalping! EDIT: I...

I woulda covered at the previous high (100%), and that pattern scares me for some reason. I'd stay away.

I can't speak for bubba7, but I think you assign too much to my call. I would not suppose myself to be able to pick long term tops and/or bottoms, only that I pointed out a location as a point of resistance. And not even resistance for certain, simply a point of likely resistance - such that...

At this point, I might short and cover at the previous resistance that is now support. EDIT: That'd be the previous high.

Well, I did OK. Bought, then sold at the previous high. If partials were allowed I woulda exited 2/3s and hung on for the chance for a new high - but not much of one.

That's the conclusion I've come to, Geo. I suspect that Globex reports on the buyer of liquidity's trade size, rather than the providers. I think it would be too much trouble for IB to consolidate orders on their side.

It's too bad your stop isn't a tad higher, 1010 is (what I call) an Interesting Number. 1010.75 might be better.

$333 each, huh? I think I have a suspicion about how he's gonna react to escrow. But, I'm a cynic. Edit: A cynic who paid more, mind you :D

You can switch his "Truth #1" around. He says that active investors as a whole must average slightly lower than the markets. I haven't wrapped my arms around that yet, but doesn't that suggest a ratio of winners to losers amongst the active investors? Meaning, if one guy makes half of what...

I thought you needed to go long an airline ticket for that as well. :D

Thanks Steve. But it wasn't IB's data feed, rather TradeStation's. And it wasn't a fast market by any means.

Howdy, Today I covered a short from yesterday at close. Bought 2 contracts at 999 at 8:09:57 (per IB). But, on my time & sales window in TS7.1, I don't see the trade. I see one contract at 999, and 5 at 999. No other trades at 999 at 8:09:57 (there are a couple more 1s at 8:09:59 though)...

Thanks DBPhoenix, you've given me something to chew on for a while.

Thanks for your reply, BDixon. I hope you realize that I am not trying to be flippant or anything - but I still don't understand. Maybe it's because I am too hungry, or maybe because I am not yet supporting myself by trading, but I don't see it as more work for the horse, so to speak. It...

How come it's bad to kill animals, but not plants and bacteria?

This has bothered me for a bit. Not that I plan to get rich, but I do expect to grow an income and a few years after I am a successful trader (as defined in Nihaba's post) I expect to reach a six digit income. If I am not a successful trader, I expect a six figure income as a 7-11 stickup...

Unless the market took out both your stops without hitting either target. :D But I understand that currency markets trend more than stocks, so mayhaps this is an unlikely scenario.
