Don't you think that if money management worked, they wouldn't of done it already? There doing the best they can, with the best strategies, and they can not make fantastic results.

I sure can. JWH was a main attraction in the book, with his theories and all, that's why I mentionned him. Theres tons of hedge funds who average 10%, but why put it there, where these funds are considerably riskier than mutual funds. I just put money in my bank where they've been averaging 15%...

Couple months ago, I read a book called "How trend followers make millions in up or down markets". It talked about hedge funds and great traders who averaged like great returns, year after year. One of the important people in that book was John W. Henry, and how he's great and had averaged 30% a...

Thats great, I hope it'll work out. But I'm just wondering, how can IB open for Canadians and not the other ones(like MB)?

actually, I checked a few ones, and almost none accept Canadians. oh well, looks like its not only MB's policy.

huh? They take Kuwait, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Czech Republic, Peru, Russia, all the countries ALL around the world, except their straight neighbor right on top?? Whats the deal? I want them cuz their minimum is $1000 to open an account. I'd love to go with IB, but transfering $5000...

I trade with a demo account with IB right now. Every time I try to buy a SSF for a stock, like 7 times out of 10, I get "Could not value the contract at this time". Why is that so? I see the bid-ask prices, and I see the bid-ask sizes, why doesnt it work every time? Does it happen to anyone...

Till now I've only been trading with a phone broker. The only internet trading that ive done is in Forex. I thought the stock markets for nasdaq, nyse, amex...was from 9:30 to 4 ET. Now I read that when I trade online, like with IB, I can trade 24h a day with ECN like smart, arca,island...

Just a regular long futures contract that I bought at 1230, that at expiration date is at 1280, im wondering what happens when it arrives at expiration. He told me the difference (50 points=1250) is settled in my account, but thats only the profit. What happens to my original contract at 1230...

k thx, i was kinda thinking that

Im learning options right now. Since someone who sells a call can cancel it by buying it back whenever he wants, does that mean that someone else you bought a call, can have his call cancelled?

but do I still own my original contract of 1230, or does it go back to my account directly? Or that amount just disappears? or maybe my 1230 position is now 1280 plus the 50points profit i already made?

I have been trading for 1 year on stocks and stock options. I decided to try futures. I read a few books on it. However, I'm still confused. When an futures contract expires, like say the ES on march, does that mean that it just expires worthless like a stock option? Or that it will be sold on...

What? Do you know what scalping is?

People who scalp, say the Forex market, how do they make money, since the best you can get is 3pip difference? Say the eur/usd goes up 4 pips, you make 1 pip profit. If it goes down 4, you lose 7 pips. Its insane!! Also, how do the forex brokers get their rates lower. Like they offer us 3pip...
