Many thanks for your replies to my questions Much appreciated

anyone think the above is a good plan?

Tim, Can I ask, apart from market orders always getting filled slippage as well on a market order can work in your favor and against your favor am I correct? But limit orders can only have slippage in your favor? One other thing, should you place market orders or is it better to use limit...

Many thanks for your replies to this thread and some of my other threads. Very much appreciated. Can you tell me please, what is ADP data? That software your using for real time news where can I get it? I like the look of it. So your with global futures and your paying a $4.80 round trip...

Well thanks for at least the positive replies and not so much for the negative take the mick ones. This thread is not a wind up, I am one of those very analytical guys...I like to lay everything out in the open, you could say to get things off my chest. Then I feel a bit more relaxed around...

Thanks for being understanding! If the market collapsed after I sold my house, no I would definitely not give the money back. But to me that's alright, I wouldn't care about that, you can't do anything about that. The fact is for me when it comes to selling homes or cars, that person that buys...

That's my other problem, even though I talk of casinos I don't like them and spread betting, CFD's and exotic options such as binary and barrier options isn't much different to gambling and I wouldn't touch them. I would rather trade the real markets if I can at least take wins from the losses...

why am I insane for just stating how I feel? That's an offensive thing to say. Look at it from this way I don't consider my self to be arrogant and I don't think what I am going to mention in the next paragraph is arrogant either: I have worked in a number of different areas during my life...

When I started out I didn't really have any problems with this. I think I started to mentally focusing on this too much and became silly about it as I have been starting to want to move from simulation to real money trading. I know I shouldn't let these things worry me. But I keep thinking of...

well your going to think this is nuts, but I always tried to stay in focus and not let this worry me, but now it's getting me all emotional in my trading. The problem is with the emini s&p 500 and many other markets you got the retail investors and the institutional investors and I what I am...

I know there's got to be a market for trading, I should of said is there any investment product out there that allows you to trade only with the institutional traders and not with retail investors. So you buy from say a bank, they sell to you and then some they or another bank buys from you in...

Many thanks for your reply What I mean is. Let's look at the emini s&p 500. When you say, place a limit order to buy a contract you then have to wait to get filled...but on the other side (sell side) you have to wait for someone that is going to sell to you and vice versa. Now I was thinking if...

Hey Guys, I have been learning for many months all about trading the emini s&p 500 but now have started to also look at other investment vehicles. Such as big stocks and penny stocks, vanilla options, exotic options like binary and barrier options. Now I have been doing some reading on Bonds...

I forgot to mention in my original post. When I say is it difficult to make $150 trading 1 contract. I don't mean all in 1 trade but in many trades, like 10-15 in a day, surely it's not too difficult or is it?

Let's say a US penny stock is trading at 5 cents a share, it has a market cap of 10M and 212M shares. Can you buy a call option? If so how many contracts would you be able to buy with say $500? What would the strike price and expiry date be?
