Without checking out the video, yeah, might pay to think creatively, rather than the obvious like a home safe. What kinda dimensions are you looking at? If you say about the size of an household oven, I might have my doubts about whether it is ...

Seek proper legal advice. After digesting the contract you have with Gain, and the exact facts of the situation, clarification may be sought from Gain. What happens after that is how much you are prepared to spend on legals. In the circumstances, ...

Must be billionaire speak. Suitably opaque and ambiguous, complete with a double negative? Not very precise about who it includes, really. Anyway, the nature of the man is that he knows IB is in deep trouble on at least two outstanding legal issues, ...

WTI Crude Oil Trading

Its a contractual issue. It would be unwise for anyone to provide advice without being in possession of the full facts. Anything else would be speculation. Any communications in any dispute should be in writing. On a philosophical note, I'm a little ...

WTI Crude Oil Trading

I have recently opened a demo account with Gain Capital Australia, trading as City Index. Just coz I can. They offer just US Oil. No WTI or Brent, as such. Maybe that may change with legitimate account, dunno. Daily volume in the middle tens of ...

WTI Crude Oil Trading

I'm not sure if we get accurate news on TV here in the sticks, but I seem to recall that American citizens are openly protesting about lockdowns? Gawd, it makes news here in Australia of all places, and I rarely watch it. I am no gambling man and ...

Margin requirements are a formula. Without checking (I did quite some years ago in a moment of boredom), it goes something like this, but don't quote me, you'd have to look up what is current. Volatility times daily range. Now, volatility is just ...

I find its always a good idea to withdraw a bunch once some big money is gained. Not an issue.

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

That's a really good way of putting things into perspective. Barriers to entry are now so low it makes my head hurt. On a pedantic note, there are just maybe four actual "professions"in the UK and its colonies. Medicine, law, clergy, and military. ...

Successful traders are very, very rare to find

CME has eleven different crude oil products, one of which is a mini. Hey, half size. Big deal - neither here nor there. But they are cash settled, and we have to be grateful for small mercies. Buggered if I have heard of some of the others. Edit - I ...

Your broker is currently being investigated by the regulatory authorities and the criminal justice system.

I think this gets back to discussions of getting little bricks of the stuff - I've read that recently this has actually become difficult.... Yes, sure you can buy it at your nominated dealer where they will store it in their vault. Try asking them ...

XAU/USD & XAG/USD - Gold & Silver Traders Thread

I was recently reading a bloke on reddit who is a high frequency trader with some swish outfit. He answered a lot of questions, and I skimmed a lot. One big topic was what he called latency, and I hope I don't get this too wrong, but slightly on ...

Trading Equipment (Hardware, Software)

Those screen shots are pretty cool. How do you do them from the CME site? I'm stuffed if I can. Must be an editing trick. Technology; I can hardly spell it.

WTI Crude Oil Trading

I missed checking out the options quotes. I reckon there would have been a few puts that settled at 1 cent on Friday that traded today with four or five numbers after the decimal point. Just guessing, from experience.

Thankyou - oh, I got out too soon! I did say recently that I'd trade it down to zero, but ya can't be greedy. Be kind.

Well here I was thinking what to do with my unused Olympic size swimming pool down the paddock. 10 contracts should fill her up..

WTI Crude Oil Trading

Being a position trader (for that one person out there who may not know what that means, I not only hold on overnight but sometimes for weeks or however long it takes) I'd be embarrassed to say from when I have been short..

WTI Crude Oil Trading

Yeah. Happens with quite a few things and you get a one off swap when it happens - nothing "real"changes to your account.. Really buggers up ya charts. Follow futures. Edit - some brokers do offer futures alongside CFDs. A hybrid of a hybrid? They ...
