Hello, everyone. I have been observing the price action of /ZN (10 year Tnote) or /ZB (30 year Tbond) since the beginning of this year. As a newbie, I am very thankful for an explanation for the price gap down happened in Feb 2011. On Feb 20 , 2011 (Sunday), both /ZN and /ZB opened down...

I apologize to anyone if this question insults you. I ask this question becuase I really do not know and want some info. Sorry if I waste your time.

Hello. I expect stock ABC may move away from R big enough (either up or down) so my winner's profit will be bigger than loser's lose. Of course, I understand that it may not happen as its price may be around R until close. I am wondering if any program can let me take a long and short positon on...

Hello, everyone. I just want to clarify my point a little bit more. Let's say stock ABC may break resistance R. Its current price is around R. I want to take a long and short postion as I believe its price either break over R or fall from R. In other words, I expect the price will move away...

Hello, everyone. As a stock trading newbie, I have a question about trading venues. I haven been practicing paper trading and hope to join a prop in the future. While paper trading, I do not get opportunities to select a trading venue such an exchange (NYSE or Nasdaq) or an ECN (such as Acra or...
