My above post was in reply to a post by frugal.rock, excerpt below (original post now deleted)

Can you please elaborate on the incorrect information? You should be quoting the incorrect posting then debunking it by providing the correct information not just posting slabs of FAQ's from the Superhero website. I read all the FAQ's and downloadable documents before posting, if something I has...

Interesting it's been a while since I looked at Thinkmarkets I thought they only traded in Derivatives, Forex and CFD's, a quick look shows $8 flat for trades up to $200k, may need to look at them again for ASX Stock trades. I have heard mixed reports about them, others may care to comment

Well don't get me started on cybersecurity, I believe we are only at the tip of the iceberg regarding cybersecurity issues (equity/derivative traders are especially at risk). The endless race to quickly bring new trading products to market, results in products laced with security holes...

IG charge $5 or 0.05% (whichever of the two amounts is higher), Superhero charge $5 flat regardless of the size of the trade, potentially a massive saving on a large trade. Bit not having your own HIN I consider a major disadvantage, at least with SelfWealth you have your own HIN (but $9.50 per...

Oh I promised to report back (week ago) on how the IB cash account balance affects rapid intraday trading. Well Cutz and Tech/a are 100% right, as long as you maintain USD$25K account balance you can trade all day long (I had a few days with more than 10 trades) turning over the full account...

Thanks very interesting, I see that as long as I maintain an account balance of at least USD $25K (as below). I will be able to day trade to my hearts content (or peril). Now I just need to find what I did with the source code to my app that connects to the IB API to run my intraday algorithm...

I don't trade with IB very often as i tend to use order bulking (so I usually trade with other brokers). But I love IBs software so I still keep a data feed subscription with them, occasionally i put through some trades the make sense with IBs low brokerage (actually more shares do nowadays). I...

It was late 2016, To get us onto the same page I think I need to clarify what I'm talking about. Firstly I'm mostly a day trader in ASX listed shares (not CFDs or derivative instruments). So as an example of my trading day lets say I have $15K in my account, I buy $7.5K of ASX.STO Shares at...

Thanks, well its back to high volume trading of low cost shares with IB. I used to trade a lot with them years ago but I found that the 3/2 day settlement delay knocked out too much trading capital. In those days I used to do 20 to 30 trades a day, at $7500 average for each trade it would often...

Thanks, that's great, do you know when that changed?

Iguana2 Spark is great for intraday trading. The ability to replay the days trades including depth and volume is a great learning aid to intraday trading, when you see a dramatic move in the market you can correlate it to any news/announcements or strategies that the big players are making...

Since IB setup in Aus they have had to add GST so its now $6.60 (minimum brokerage) for trades below $7500, for trades above $7500 its 0.08% of the total trade. But I have a question, does IB now let you use money from sold shares to immediately purchase new shares, in the past if you sold...

I think it may have been because the Platypus was the most different looking (and unknown) creature in the doco, they had Kangaroos, Koalas etc. but many Thais already know about them. Their are a myriad of reasons for eating or not eating certain types of foods, as you have explained, a couple...

I wonder if that is because of religious beliefs. Another Thai story : I was at at Expats house watching an Australian wildlife documentary, his wife (from Isan region) was watching very intently, when the doco was showing the unusual features of the Platypus she turned to us and said "What do...
