Like Mav said, these positions are things of the past. Pits are gone for the most part. I suggest to start reading this forum and try to figure out what kind of trading interests you.

I have exactly same thought. As the whole credit crisis was unfolding, Fiasco came to my mind more than once. I read it in late 2006, and was amazed at the "legal" schemes MS did, especially at Japan. Liar's Pocker and Fiasco clearly explain what clients can expect from these firms, yet they...

Hi ET99, Please feel free to post anything related to trading on the tread that I started. Regards, redduke

Rollover come to mind, but it was made in early 80s.

WTF... ... Assuming an average of 29 trades per day at $10 a pop, the typical day trader would have to make $72,500 per year just to break even! Haven't they heard of pay per share?????? ...If you're not among that 1% of incredibly lucky traders, don't worry. Your odds of stock market...

Yes, these volume spikes used to drive me nuts, I could not figure them out. I do not think they are aggregations because if you put IB T&S next to what ever software you are using, you will not see them in IB but will see them in 3rd party. The way I got around this is to code that if last...

Slippage in HSI is a nature of the contract. It used to have average 2-3 ticks spread and was much easier contract to trade until summer 2007 (if memory serves me right), when it got opened to mainland. I listed in earlier posts, why I think KOPSI is the best Asian market index contract to...

Exactly why I made the switch. The lifestyle change is great, and the potential for intra day trading on KOSPI is much bigger than DAX. Paul is a great guy. It would be good for them to add this contract, but unless it can be traded via Ninja, it is a non started for me. Do not feel like...

If you can only start at 9:30 CT, that means you missed first 2 1/2 hours where usually the volatility happens. I do not trade it at the close (gotta have some sleep :) ), but have periodically seen decent moves around this time. Middle of the day, it tends to slow down.

I just got a call from some broker, and the lines were taken strait of boiler room movie. ... A junior broker called you some time ago, and I am getting back to you, as promised, with investment idea... Told him that I never got any calls. Then he says: ... If you get as many phone calls...

Not sure where you got these numbers from. I am not seeing anything even close to it.

Is this a joke? 3 year old kids can use it after few minutes playing with it. If this is not intuitive, what is??????

Amazing - perfect insider trade. Also, I remember reading an article about how they risked so much and were so brave to put this trade. What a joke. Here is from MarketWatch: Paulson helped Goldman structure the deal and then bet against it, making huge profits when the housing...

I read in WSJ that not.

Com on, we all know what will happen. GS will pay some large fine 300-500 mil (large in the eyes of a public, rather small in their terms). If convicted they will issue the apology and maybe 1 or 2 people will go to jail. Just a small cost of doing the business.

I think you are wrong. Things always look bright in bull market. If there is another massive crash, it will be blamed on speculators and TT talk will regain strength.

Probably not. I read it in order to stay in tune with all major developments. I day trade, so most of that stuff is not really important to me. Regular wsj is good enough.

Same here, no issues. it is a bit slow from time to time, but this is it. Have been using it for about 3 years.

Getting no KOSPI June contract data from IB. Anyone else having this issue?

When iPad was first introduced, I was saying to everyone what a disappointing and had no inclinations whatsoever of getting one. But seeing youtube videos, from real people, of what it can do over this weekend, I have to say I am impressed. I will not be getting the first version, but when...
