Hi Dan which indicator u use for confirmation? ADX? .

missed the aapl boat, will long when it draws back.

heyiah...the GLD didn't gain as much as AAPL!

normally when dropped like crazy, it'll either bounce back as dead cat bounce, short-covering or dip buyers or everything, i just follow...no fundamental . On 3rd/4th candle it may draw back or continue downtrend or etc...So, have to let go everything on the 3rd/4th candle. yesterday let go half, today might let go everything.

the cimb brokerage not expensive?

aapl good for you

most of the US broker fulfill ur requirement plus u just need to send a hardcopy form of W-8BEN. i'm using ameritrade ThinkorSwim.

US brokers' charges is per trade basis. Yes u can trade ETF, stocks, options, futures and forex, mostly everything in US.

Option charges:

01) $1 to $1.5 per contract depending on your size, volumn and pattern of trading, if ur volumn is big, they can give you $1 or lower per contract. How big is considered big? u hv to chat with them. This option is also suitable for small volumn.

02) Also, you can opt for their other selection which I had forgotten, something like $0.70 per contract + $9.95 per trade. This option is meant for bigger contract.

As u can see both option 1 & 2 is suitable for bigger contracts, I opted for 1st option due to its flexibility between larger and lower volumn.


I couldn't recall the stocks charges bsc I seldom trade mother share but their option. I think the package is as follow:

$0.015 per share, min $5 per trade and there is other package which I had forgotten, u'll need to check with them.

More info on charges:

What I like abt TOS is their platform and their efficient chat support. Though their platform is a bit of flaws but so far ok lar......

how come the non-farm employment change and unemployment claim is all positive but the market dive....?? very confusing...

the UE rate is higher meaning more ppl do not hv jobs (nett job loss), so what it increases to 195k, the retrenchment or etc might be 300k,400k and etc.........very confusing...

Differences bet Warrant & Option
01) Companies issue warrants to raise money but companies do not issue options.
02) Exercise of warrants would cause dilution in shareholding base but not options.

Similarities of Warrant & Options
01) Expiry at pre-determined date
02) Based on an underlying asset.
03) Seller obligated to honour terms of warrants and options
04) Buyer must pay a premium upfront.
05) Exercisable at a strike price.
06) When underlying asset is less than the strike price, price of the warrant or option is based on time or volatility.
