Well, it can't go to far down .. not up either .. but significantly up when compared to down. Tom Keene editor on Bloomberg repeats how markets reacted on recounts in 2000; it was on "auto-pilot" without real direction. So consider that the most likely scenario right now. We need some significant developement - Kerry in Colorado and Ohio - or Bush in Nevada, Colorado, Florida ... edit: my spot demo account is almost up 50% for the two sessions on the day .. not too bad.
I use bracket trader to enter my trades. I have 200 pips profit target by default--I usually get stopped out anyway by trailing. I just pulled the profit target to 1.2090, 600 pips just in case of an extreme madness
See how markets react to IB shutdown too ... strange how much of an impact it seems to have; but 00:00 and the date turn is something special too.
You see .. 80s again. Anyone else thought 80s were cool ? 90s were just streesful business and ecstatic techno-parties. Holy, schmoly .. as I write we're into almost 1.27 on FXCM, Refco ...
You can't. But other good alternatives are getting a demo account on Velocity futures with X-trader - $50 per month, or something.
