You might have a point there. I happened to be long from earlier that morning and just wanted to see if he and I were seeing the same thing or...
tango29: Sorry if I have to ask, but are you long or short ES? hypochondriac: You seem to be the only ET member who believes discretionary...
If you're ok with the status quo, that is not necessarily a bad thing. But if there is nothing you would like to achieve, that is called wasting...
None of the categories includes what I would like to be: I would like to understand everything that can be understood. Maybe Nobel prize winner...
In the 2 years I have traded with IB I have had a similar problem maybe 5 times on different types of instruments. Another thing that is also...
This is a very interesting and insightful post. However, it assumes that you favor the "American" approach to trading (How can I make the most...
You can say that again! I just spent half an hour searching through their slow and ill-organized website, and it gave some sort of shitty, i mean...
