Was thinking of the ym but read in other posts thats its too volatile to trade in this style? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Little Jonny Little Johnny came into the kitchen where his mother was making dinner. His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a good time to tell his mother what he wanted. 'Mum, I want a bike for my birthday.' Little Johnny was a bit of a troublemaker. He had been in trouble at...

Personally, i think you should go direct rather than via SB. Paper trade for a while before going direct.

Good book to read is The Master Swing Trader by Farley. But make sure you know the basics of TA before you even start thinking of reading this book.

Ahh yeah thanks i think i sorted it out. I didnt select US futures for the products i wanted to trade when i opened the account! Oh well now i have to wait 24 hours till they approve it! Thanks again for your help!

Thanks. Do you have to state with IB that your wiring funds to them? Or do you have to select something else?

I know this has been discussed quite a while ago but I just want to get an update on this. Does anyone transfer funds through their Internet bank to IB? Has anyone had problems with this?

Long time reader of these threads and learnt alot. Hopefully now ill be able to give some input of my own. Interesting to see the 3rd bar reversal on the 5-min chart which tends to occur. Also cross verified/indicated on the 1-min chart by the faster stochastics line crossing over the slower...

Yeah ive read through his stuff...very interesting too. 1-min makes sense as a trade could only last a couple mins, although i thought posssibly that you would use 5-min charts to place the position (thats where my confusion was!).
