After clicking BID or ASK to create an order, if I right click and select "Check Margin Impact", I get a pop-up that states "No Trading Permissions". So I assume I cannot execute trades.

Hi everyone, Take a minute and click on the link below. It will send a nice form email to your congressional leaders to repeal the proposed "Trader Tax". This would be terrible for all of us!! http://www.rallycongress.com/no2tradertax/

Hi Alan, I've been checking your blog periodically, but nothing has been posted yet. Just wondering if you are still planning on posting material at some point? In these tumultuous financial times it would be nice to see ideas/thoughts from a seasoned veteran such as yourself. Hope to...
