In their email message they said during their pre account opening investigation they came across information that I was charged with illegal gambling in 1998. It had nothing to do with trading. It had to do with illegal sports wagering. Since then I have had accounts with about 4 different...

I forgot to say that Interactive Brokers rejected my application to open a regular account because I was charged with illegal gambling in 1998. So I guess they are out. Eddie

I'm thinking about opening five Roth iras and want to make each of my five grandchildren the beneficiary on one. Can I open five Roth iras for $1000 each at one broker? Can you recommend a broker with cheap commissions and one that doesn't charge annual fees? Feel free to offer any...

Thank you. Eddie

How do you get 4 to 1 intraday leverage?

IB rejected me for an account. First you have to fill out the online account forms. You can't complete the process until you fund the account. So you must fund the account to be approved. I picked a 5 digit user name and they added numbers to it. And I picked a password. I did this...

I use Quotetracke with Ameriitrade as my quote source. What is CQG? I didn't see it on qt's sight. Thanks. Eddie

Fed funds going through the roof. It's 6:10 pm Sun night 8-5. They are bidding aug at 78.5. They are bidding sept at 82.5. They are bidding 540 oct at 90. Bidding over 3100 nov at 95.00. Bidding Dec at 95.085 And there aren't any bids or offers for Jan. I'm completely destroyed with my...

It means the fed funds are pricing in a higher percentage chance of a rate cut the further out you go. I cannot get into my account right now to get prices. So I am going to the cbot sight and using their charts. I hope this link takes you to the 30 day fed funds daily charts...

Rates at 5.25% correspond to 9474.75 and rates at 5.5% would correspond to 9500.00. Each 1/4 point rate is equal to 25bps or 25 points. And rates last week moved more the 5 points. But not the first month which is now Aug. There has not been a rate decision that has not been more then 50%...

Are you talking aboout the 2:00pm central pit closing? Or the 4:00pm closing when all trading is over? I had my biggest ever short position. When Cramer threw his tantrum the fed funds jumped from 76.0 to about 79.0. I closed out many aug fed funds right near the 4:00pm central closing...

Fri the Aug fed funds closed at 9478.5. A 1/4 point rate cut would bring them up to about 9494.4 And no action by the fed would have them about 9475.0. So I think that correlates to about an 18% chance of a rate cut on Tue. The people on cnbc tv often figure it a little less accurately...

quote below "I had about 23k + including margin right now, but because my trading strategy fails most the time, I trade small size and hold for a while to allow the trade to work..but when day trading I can do 200 shares many times a day." I too am interested in starting to daytrade stocks...

I could not find Marsco.com on the list of brokers. Does anyone know if this would be a good broker to use to trade short term stocks and some options? And maybe to do some limited daytrading of stocks until I can get an account above the $25k minimum. I tried opening an account at...

Thanks for the help again. I looked at their symbols. I saw fed funds on their list. But I couldn't find electronic 30 yr treasury bonds listed anyplace. The symbol is zbm06 from the CBOT free delayed chart site. I tried to talk to IQ on their site this morning but no one was around. So I...

I have just started trading fed fund futures and 30 yr treasury futures. The company I trade with doesn't have charts. They just give me level two quotes. Can someone give me a list of companies that would supply quotes to QuoteTracker? I use QuoteTracker to look at stock charts. Or give me...

Thanks Mike. I also read that but in different language in the frequently asked questions in the link I provided above to IB site. Thanks again.

I did briefly daytrade at IB about 4 years ago. In the definition for daytrading the term: Day Trade: any trade pair wherein a position in a security (stock, bond or stock option) is increased ("opened") and thereafter decreased ("closed") within the same trading session. I think back...

I have not daytraded in a few years. I think if you open and close a position in the same day it counts as a day trade. So if you short a stock and then close it in the same day that also counts as a daytrade. Question??????? What is the timeframe for a day or daytrade? I mean are pre...
