Using spread trading with futures(mostly treasuries) on the OEC trader demo, I made 23 million in a week. And supposedly the OEC demo trader is...
Thanks for the info bone. I posted this as I genuinely have an interest in finding out more about electricity trading. Seems though like it a...
You really are very quick to dismiss aren't you? What's the real issue for you, me or someone else asking the question, or trying to learn more...
I'm sure I read somewhere before that the margin for one of the Ercot contracts is 50k. But I have seen the swap margins on CME and some margins...
Yes, I agree. It is like giving false hope to those looking to trade live eventually. At first and for a while, I thought it may be showing a...
Oh this is a permanent feature on all the Ironbeam brokerages I've used, from Generic Trade to Zumo, Insignia Futures to Go Futures. All show...
No. It is normal in the regard, that it's the usual buy at ask, sell at bid. But it's showing unusual prices at the entry level.
If they can't be bothered to fix the issue in the demo, who's to say it wouldn't be the same for the live account. Either way I haven't invested...

I refreshed the account and placed that trade just before posting it on this forum. Point is, this is always the result upon opening that...
I didn't enter it at any price. It is a market order, this is what I'm trying to tell you, that is the result that comes up when you open the trade...
Ok so the profit when I now open this trade is just over 1 million, but it varies, and was 2 million until recently. Here is the screenshot. This...
I will screenshot it on here. Bear with me and I'll upload that.
Actually, most of the demo accounts I have used, will not allow large contracts. You are limited to whatever the market can handle at the time....
I have used a few Demo accounts that do take slippage into account, so I think it could be a liquidity thing I'm seeing, particularly in the...
What is the Margin required for an electricity contract to trade? Why would no retail traders trade this commodity?
I agree. But the reason I'm asking about electricity futures here is because from what I have heard, it is not unrealistic to make big money. If...
The idea of trading is to dream, and to make decent money. Otherwise why would anyone bother to do it. A positive attitude is a must in this game,...
