Hi Patrick, I am a Singaporean trading US markets. I'm using IB because of the low costs. Do let me know if you can find somebody cheaper than IB. Thanks and good luck! Ben

I think IB still the best option if you are retail trader. Even with a big account. Unless anybody else got any other ideas.

Hi all! This is my first time back on ET for ages! Good to see this thread and know that there are other people like me staying up late into night trading a market on the opposite side of the world. I know I would love to have some company on the slow days/lunch hours and I actually get...

Today is the kinda of day I'm dreading. Prematurely exiting a good trade leading to me trying more losing trades. Opening was very strong and long and I zoomed in to smaller TF to try to catch retracement. Went long on DIA and SPY. Minimal pullback and did not fill my entire position. Was...

many many times lol

Yesterday post was delayed as I was so tired. Very busy period now for me. Had a long bias after the weekend based on how far we have retraced on the bigger picture. Had some longer term trades filled due to the retraces and was looking for some bounces. Price took off right at the open...

Switched to the new TWS today after being forced to by IB. Was pretty ok actually just that had to reset some of the defaults. if you have experienced any bugs with the new TWS please let me know so that I can be aware. anybody knows what is post-only function? Thanks DT

Strong opening right from the start and no pullbacks. Was looking for a place to get long but it was wishful thinking. Reminded myself not to short indiscriminately against such an opening due to to prev experiences. Was pleased to have performed better resisting the counter instinct...

What are some of the algos for reducing exposure in a losing period? Pls share. Thanks

No disrespect but I do not agree with your recommendations as they might be abit too simplified. If you trade fix lot size you are not position sizing. Risk must be kept constant each trade else you risk losing big and winning small. I agree with you for upping size with good performance.

Hey Nodoji, I have something to share regarding your choice of stop. You seem to be moving up the stop too tightly for your trading timeframe (price comes back and stops you out and moves on without you.) If you have an inital stop maybe you should keep it there till you have met your...

Hey hey YO Keep in touch ya DT

This a problem I face. In a winning day I'm usually done early and also in on just one or two trades. Whereas if I am wrong for the day I'm usually losing at more trades. Though my R:R is pretty good this is still a problem I'll like to fix as it will save me from a large part of my...

Bought 99.99 DIA in the morning. off the second leg with some yummy confluences. Stop was 99.84. Took some heat to 99.92 ard as expected and then got a good response. DIA really took off after sucking in shorts in a half hearted attempt at a reversal. Surprised by the strength and the speed...

Well I got no kiwis but I've plenty of nicks. 50 rupees buy! lol
