If you qualified as a trader last couple of years, but not this year, can you get capital loss carryover on this year's tax return from those years you were a trader?

Are there any single stock futures that have decent liquidity?

What is the best daily pivot point setting for E-Minis? The 24 hour high, low, and close, or the regular session high, low, and close?

Worthless huh? So far the only thing that is worthless is your post, because you don't actually explain why Oanada is worthless.

It's hard to scalp when there is no DOM. But I do it sometimes with OANDA.

The 95% loser stats probably has much to do with the fact that there is no weeding out of potential traders. Anyone with some money and a computer can become a trader. Other professions weed out poor candidates beforehand. Look at it this way, out of all the people who at one point in their...

Trading edge is not easy. If you are discretionary trader you cannot separate edge from discipline. Without learning discipline whatever technical edge you have is almost meaningless. If you are automated trader, which I am not and just speculating here, but seems to me then technical edge is...

Yeah. Sorry about that. This laptop misses keys often. Not sure if it is Vista, or Sony Vaio, or what is causing it. Got the hardware checked and they found no issue.

Thanks.

I'm interested in trading the KOSPI200 through my IB account, but I have some questions: 1. Will my stock trades in the KOSPI count as day trades in pattern day trading rule? 2. I'd rather trade a KOSPI ETF that follows the KOSPI, rather than trading regular stocks or the index future...

Thanks Wittgenstein. Lots of useful information on his site about trading. It is rare to see such useful info on a site that is selling a product, which impressed me.

I had never heard about Dan Zanger until now. Having looked at his website: http://www.mrswing.com/beans/dan/index.html I gotta say he is the real deal. A genuine guy, has good credentials, and is very straightforward and I don't feel he's trying to rip people off. His top 10 trading rules...

I noticed some analysts on bloomberg say march 9 lows on S&P, but on my charts it is march 6, at 666. Another question I have is, do you think someone, or a group of people conspired to make 666 the low at 3/6. Seems too much of a coincidence that on 3-6, there are 3 sixes, and of course...

If you elect MTM you file form 4797, and attach a statement similar to schedule D. And yes, some brokers do provide Schedule D, Interactive Brokers is one.

How do I get gain/loss reporting for tradestation, something like a schedule D. This site http://www.traderstatus.com/planning.htm says: "FREE gain/loss reporting service Now available to certain other TradeStation Securities clients, this free service provides cost basis and capital gains...

Thanks. I could use lessons in Economics. But with all due respect, I think you need a course in vocabulary. I'm aware of demand destruction and did not say this significant decline is the result of Obama's perceived "dovish" attitude as your assert. I said A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS DECLINE...

I'm not expert on oil, but I do follow Iran news, since I was born there. Seems to me a significant part of the decline in oil prices can be credited to the Obama win, or when it was shown in the polls that Obama would be the likely winner. Obama is seen as less likely to war with Iran. I...

Hello. I was going to start buying usdchf today, but realized that with the amount I want to buy, $500, I cannot use IdealPro, and Ideal allows only limit orders, and thus no stops. I was wondering if there is a way to do this trade with a stop, or must I find another broker for Forex? If so...

I used to watch CNBC when I first began trading but later discoverd Bloomberg. CNBC tends to have more screaming, and more sensationalism than Bloomberg. Not a good thing if you're trying to be objective. Also it is annoying. They have nicer charts though.

Agreed. Lack of proper communication with their customers and lack of respect for customers' time is a major problem with IB. Interactive Brokers is not very interactive at all.
