Hello, A quick question for the board. Is it unusual or noteworthy if a prop firm weren't registered with any recognized regulatory body? I've noticed that some of the LLC props have no listing at NASD. Thanks!

Hi Baron, I'm sure you are already aware of this situation, but I just wanted to point it out in case you didn't know / authorize these mails. Here is a copy of a message I received the other day. I haven't been active at ET for a long time, so I was surprised to see it. The subject heading...

After reading "how I made..." I picked up "Las Vegas" and was pretty disappointed. It's not a bad book but I wouldn't describe it as inspirational nor educational. You'd be better off putting some $$ elsewhere IMHO.

Why did you make Gordon Gekko so stupid?

Since downloading this version of TS some of my custom indicators have gone ka-blew-i (that's the technical term). A red line forms across the screen - even on indicators with no red plot.

Jetheat, Ignore Harrytrader for now - he's either brilliant or crazy, most of us haven't decided which, yet. Either way he'll probably just confuse you. So far you've gotten a few replies that contradict each other a little because you haven't told us what you are trading. The nuances of...
