Well, just a remark really. The OP didn't say he was daytrading or anything. Maybe he is swing/longer term trading. For instance, say I know I...
Pardon me if someone else has said this earlier but I am not going to wade through your thread to see. Simply put, you are in need of help....
One nice feature of IB is the ability to have a different interface via the API. It (the API) is somewhat kooky, but the ability is there....
OT, you are usually a breath of fresh air, so thanks for that. At any rate for me it isn't about 500 or 1K or 2K or 10K/car. I personally prefer...
Well, I was of course sitting there that very morning, and as I recall the 9/11 thing happened at around 15 to5 minutes until six am pacific time,...
Oh, just a final thought. Assuming you can trade, the high volatility environment is what we wait for, and can be the source of a huge amount of...
Margin (really performance bond is what we are talking) under a regular FCM being too low is what would drive the FCMs insolvency. At IB, my point...

Hey, nice post, very worthwhile. Surely an important message. Regards.
Shhhh....I don't think you are fully appreciating the true cosmic forces that are at work right here in our midst. It's just like staring at the...

Oh, it's trader69, or is it oblowmewan?? Here, let me help promote your website: On second thought, nah. Fuck off, loser.
ST, I'm serious, we need to get together at some point and I'll buy you a nice meal. It's the least I can do for you saving me all that typing....
Bill, as much as I would like to keep you in ER2 until you're broke, I'm going to tell you a simple fact of life. Now, I know you know this, but...
My these shills are idiots! And forget the expectation, that would involve decimals and multiplications, both, I am sure, several grade levels...
