    KOSPI 200 Futures - Traders

    Not that I know. I have only 1 issue with IB, their intra day margin. It is about 14.5K USD, and they do not offer 1/2 margin for this contract. I day trade, and do not like to keep that much margin per contract at the broker. But regardless, I am grateful that IB offers it, otherwise this great...

    KOSPI 200 Futures - Traders

    You just need to open an account with IB. Then you can use data as long as you need, and do not need to trade. I do not remember exactly, IB will only charsge some small fee like $10-$20 per month if you do not trade.

    "Traditional" TA that is described everywhere is what does not work. In order to have a decent odds about intra day moves, one needs to understand 3 things right: price action, tape and dom. Dom is the hardest to master since so many games are played on it. In order to master dom...

    Russia, group

    I did not say what they teach is useless, I said that there is a high probability that it is. Unless, someone really takes their classes and tries to apply what they teach, it is just an assumption. That being said, all that talk about why they share is just BS. If something really works, you...

    Thanks. Yes, I can read in Russian. Gotta agree with him about uselessness of most public fundamental and technical info out there. There is a very high probability he will not teach anything real these guys, but may be will at least save them from most common mistakes.

    The whole rally since march was a massive transfer of wealth

    It is all about where you live. I live in Brooklyn, and had it not been for media I would not even know about Great recession. Most of tri state area does not really feel it. I know few people whose consulting income dropped from 250k+ to 130k+, few small business that were selling crap...

    copies of this were sold on Ebay +$1k

    I watched this video on Tudou several months ago. Nothing is revealed there at all, just entertaining watch. I think PTJ mentioned the reason for suppression in his Schwager interview. He just wanted to keep low profile. Sorry, but there are no mystery. I could be wrong of course. redduke

    Best markets to trade for 9-5'ers

    Trading DAX is similar to trading YM. Only DAX point value is much higher. It is a thin market, but it can move very well. Trading more than 5 and sometimes even less contracts per clip will result in slippage. The main 2 news announcements that need to be monitored are ZEW and IFO.

    Best markets to trade for 9-5'ers

    It works he following: You open account in USD, but after you make your first trade, part of the account will be converted into EUR and used in the future. You will see it in your first statement. No clue, how it will with IRA.

    I did not explain the whole picture. Trust me, it is not EASY. I have over 10 years of development experience, I would have programmed it a long time ago.

    Boredom

    I utilize certain charts patterns in combination with market depth patterns and t&S to trigger the trades. Sometimes I have sub 10 seconds to make a decision sometimes over a minute, this requires constant concentration in order for odds to be in my favor. When I start missing trades here...
