great. I was not very familiar with Genesis but that makes sense. I trade equities with Fidelity for the most part but I will check them out (Genesis)

I agree that your post is pretty stupid

i agree with rice rocket but where are you receiving these margin figures from? as for your question. You are doomed with 2k and you do not have a prayer

I think 2k is too little to start with. I would open a small fx account if I were you and just learn how leveraged markets move. You can open a mini account and learn to trade with a small amount of money. When you are ready you could move to futures (the real market). I do not support fx...

I would stay away at this point. Look at storage.

Dont worry. If you have a good pair of bollocks you will get back on track. You may want to retune your strategy.

I do not recall that. Maybe I did not trade that day. I was referring to this past Friday. Well, there are many many days this platform has gone down. Thank you for the info though.

This is a ridiculous question. He runs a publicly traded company that invests in other companies. He would not shut his own company down.

I have had no problems with DTN
