And you'll really, really, REALLY like it at $200! :p

Funny. LOL

What the world wants to know. What the world NEEDS to know, is what is going to happen to Surf Fest??? Steaks at The Four Season's? Or sliced mutton at Achmed's cart?

Fundamental analysis and buy-n-hold has always been an illusion and an accident when it worked. The answer? Short term trading. 1-5 day holds and small profit targets. Set buy limits under and look for smallish profits. But it's not for everybody... Good trading to all.

No worries. There's hope yet. Obviously, trading and markets aren't Surfboyz bag. But there hasta be something he can do. He could...well maybe not. Hey how about...nah. Okay. I give. What can he do? Or for that matter, formerly employed "quants"??? :D

I strongly suspect Surfy didn't come up with the 7777 figure on his own. I believe his oft-mentioned "we" are his hedgie masters. So this probably means VN or whoever took a (another!) goodly beatdown today.

Did a recent Windows Update change your Power Control setup? Check Control Panel ---> Power Options

This is extremely important IMHO. Why? As traders we must extract a percentage from the market, over time, from many many trades (bets). The parallels to beatable (positive expectation) casino games are strong. There will be lots of in-a-row losers and bad beats that will want to shake up...

What I mean by "unlimited energy" is that the treadmill can couple into the vehicle whatever is needed (within limits of the tire-surface friction). This, really, is like having an electric motor actually on the vehicle, with wires leading to a power source. Or instead of the propeller, there...

I still don't buy it. You are introducing essentially unllimited energy into the system with the treadmill. It doesn't matter how fast or slow it is going. That treadmill is actually "geared" to the vehicle through the wheels, the pinion gear, and into the shaft and prop. The prop (an...

You got $500K and you can only trade to 14% apr? If I were you, I'd put it in some Muni's. Seriously. With the interest they are paying and the tax advantage you'd do pretty well. This ain't no market for new traders...

Thanks again, def, and the other IB reps who wade through the BS and bashing to give us info. We appreciate it! :) Good trading to all.

Like others have said there is no "automatic" edge to selling options. The very nature of options and put-call parity argues against this. There may be a very slight upward bias, close to the risk-free interest rate (demonstrated by the sp500 covered call index). But I wouldn't call that a...

You didn't sign up for the IB Reimbursment Program???!!! With this program (quoted from the IB site): "Interactive Brokers Group will reimburse trading losses for traders we like. These traders must not be a pain in the ass and complain on ET about crap that is not IB's fault..." :D

Nope. I don't buy it. You are imparting energy, through the wheels and into the prop, from the treadmill. That's not wind power. The fact that it goes faster than the treadmill is not important. You have created an energy transfer from the treadmill motor, not the wind. Actually blow...

If you mean "RFT", most of his wit, wisdom and trading info can be found in this important forum: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=54

You should be able to find all that you need here: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=1

Has anyone ever called you a fucking idiot? I bet they have! :p

You can try this and see for yourself, in all kinds of scenarios, using the IB demo. just enter edemo into the TWS logon, instead of your regular account name. Then use the password demouser. No security token needs to be used.

We aren't offended, we are puzzled. From pics surf has posted, you look almost normal??? 'Tis true what they say "There is somebody for everybody!" :D GO SURFBOY! Get 'er done!!!! :cool:
