I’m stuck at the moment Trent… AUD.USD closed above weekly MA(C,50) end of Dec but I haven’t been able to get the hedge on…up until 2 months ago I only traded moc and mrv systems and didn’t have to worry about it……having trouble activating futures in my RegT acct..(IB ticket working through at normal pace)..cfd not available until Australian customers have been migrated over to IB Aus …….and not able to use fx…looking into other options (eg CFD with commsec/ig if cant get futures operational)…are you using futures to hedge Trent ?

of further concern for me is the forced migration of Australian customers to IB Australia coming soon..I have asked IB for clarification on this too but we may lose SIPC protection that currently enjoy

[ScottMcNab]

For Australian residents, are you able to buy AUD.USD in your reg-T accounts to put currency hedge on please ? I get a message saying the forex order cannot be accepted due to new Australian regulatory restrictions.

2x leverage in that system Len ?

why do you continue to trade the ASX growth portfolio

Probably the main reason is that it has done me favours since the late 90’s and from a business perspective is a major part of my reputation.

It can be easy to poke holes in it when things are a little rough, as they have been in the past few years, but when the market starts kicking, like it is now, the Growth Portfolio shines.

In the last two years as an example the XAO has returned 3.5% and with divs 14.5%. The Growth Portfolio has returned 30.9% – and more impressive is that it has only been 50% invested for a lot of that time.

I actually have a signed contract with Trish that our retirement funds will only be applied to the Growth Portfolio.

listening to this episode made me think of growth portfolio

thanks Scott. Where do you get your info from – I just used Nasdaq website time and sales data. But a couple of things on that – sorry if a dumb question –

– but is there a way of seeing time and sales further back than previous day, I can’t see any way to select another date?
– and what do you mean yellow flagged?

As Trent mentioned…time and sales selected from inside TWS… under analytical tools…then enter stock and select time and date want to look at ..i select from chart by right clicking at bottom right of screen ( I look at chart of 1 min bars and click on bar interested in…most often the open or the low)…can look back at previous days

if there is a yellow flag beside the trade, it indicates (I think…I am pretty crap at this share stuff) that the trade was not one that you could have actually taken (when you move your mouse over the yellow flag it comes up with a better explanation…green flags are up ticks and red flags down ticks)

[ScottMcNab]

Time and sales seems to indicate you were in the running for a fill…
open on Island at 9.30:00 at 24.83 which satisfies IB smart routing
200 at 24.25
1600 at 24.16
neither of these had yellow flags

Only time I had similar when I quizzed IB they told me it was because my order was an odd lot and therefore in a separate book and I was not entitled to a fill…haven’t seen it again though

[ScottMcNab]

Personally, I struggled with the decision for many weeks. For several days after I paid for the course I was still kicking doors thinking what an idiot I was. It was because there are so many con artists out there that there is no way of knowing that Nick/the Chartist is different until you’ve paid the money and done the course. In retrospect, the course has not only paid for itself but made me money (cost of time). I’m not sure how you get around this as nowadays every con artist has testimonials all over his/her website too…word of mouth I guess

[ScottMcNab]

Thanks Len…Merry Christmas

At this stage I am just using all in group 4: ETF which is 2756…..but most dont meet volume requirements (using MA(Volume,25) > 500k to 1mill at the moment..).just want liquid ones without cherry picking etf’s …ideally want as much diversity as possible away from stocks…might be worth trying without stock etf…early days but encouraging
