Tried to sell short some UltraShort ETFs, but many of them are hard to borrow. Is this normal? Expected to be available anytime soon? For...
1. Yes. 3G networks are fast enough except for the most extreme fast-paced trading (scalping). 2. Yes they are. There are even some laptops...
Just make it fit! Carrying a 5-kilo laptop around is extremely stupid. All I need is a mini-laptop. Just perfect with a 10" screen and a...
So your volume is about the same as mine. Just never thought of my style as scalping. You're not trading YM ZB ZN ZW or ZC? And you're only...
Two questions for futures scalpers: How many contracts do you trade per day? How low are your commissions per contract?
What, can you use something else than TWS with IB?? How exactly, is it complicated? Would NT also work with QuoteTracker? And aren't those...
Are there any simple instructions for how to get this membership that a stupid foreigner would understand? Last time I looked I could not find...

Of course the government does not set the price of gold, it is set by the market. All the government needs to do is to get completely out of the...
Even worse, they are corrupt. Money and power corrupts. And not just the leaders, or "masters", but everyone. Most Americans, as well as other...
So what? The obvious solution for this so-called problem is price. Add a zero to the price of gold, and there may be enough. If not, add another...
The problem can very well be solved by forbidding fractional reserve banking, a totally absurd system. With 100% gold-backed money, and no...
That's an extremely important article. Too long and difficult for most, but I do wish everyone would understand it.
Are there any such ETFs trading in Japan, denominated in yen, and perhaps much more liquid too?
The Asus EEE PC 1000 is just perfect for trading. Especially if you ever have to do any trading outside your home/office.
15 sec fills are bullshit. Almost always the fill time is less 1 sec.
Exactly. I trade on an Asus EEE PC mini-laptop, never using more than half of available CPU power or RAM. Most important features are weight and...
