If you are talking about futures industry introducing brokers, people use them when they have small accounts. IB's will usually service small...
It ALL depends where you live. The City (SF) has micro climates that vary greatly even within City limits. Go inland, south or north, and the...
I used to live and trade in SF. Rents have come down since the dot bomb, but it used to take 1500 to get something decent for one person to...
I never knew this. How does it work when a market order gets you out of a rapidly moving market, but your unhit limit order is dead in the water?...
I don't use any for entry. I just lose the spread. I almost always get filled, but then again I never chase a market, so if its rising real fast,...
Just click on the bid if selling, and the offer(ask) if buying. The exception to this is if you are already in a position and NEED to get out...

We will be meeting for the first time this Sunday at the Heathman Hotel lounge. 12:30 PM. Jay
Absurd statement. I have been trading futures for 15 years. I have not been wiped out yet. Jay
It always cracks me up when people think a President can actually effect economics. The Fed (which is non partisan) has major power. Clinton...
I never trade against the 15. 1 minute may be going nuts, 15 sets the trend. Jay
Bracket trades on actual fills, not orders. Def, you have always been helpful, and I don't mean to put IB down in general, but this is really a...
