    Commission Negotiations

    Whatever you negotiate, get it in WRITING!!! I got ripped-off bad after being told I was going to be given certain fees, but was actually given something else. Later the company reclaimed what was not charged on 1900 trades! Sick!

    Court Rules: Charged anew 11,000% of comm. fees for 1900 trades, and 570% Comm. Fee

    Yes, thanks again kjkent1. Sorry to hear of your serious disagreement with this website’s management. I can guess at what issues you have. I’m playing it PC here, so I’m not going to go there. The trial was very short: 4 hours tops. We committed to finishing it that day. The judge...

    kjkent1 thanks I needed (and was looking for) that clarification. Yes, the defendant relied on my admitting to the original agreement tremendously. Yet, I didn’t want to lie (Christian I am) and I didn’t want to be caught lying. However, I did hardly remember the terms of the agreement when...

    Now that it is over…. I confess what I lost in dollars I made up with just the laughs. This incident is hilarious, and I got a lot of down-to-the-core laughs just seeing and expecting everyone’s reactions to it here. The laughing was uncontrollable for a few days after I posted the story on...

    Court Rules: Charged anew 11,000% of comm. fees for 1900 trades, and 570% Comm. Fee

    Verdict in: The judge did not accept my version of the agreement; although, the ten or more arguments I made had nothing to do with proving “my version of the agreement.” I think he restricted me to that argument because of the way my claim was written. He said he found this case is of...

    How do retail brokers work?

    Mistake: should have been "transferred from the seller to the buyer" Thanks for the future reference biologymajor, but routing is not what I’m referring to. Here are good article on ECN’s and exchanges: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/basics/04/092404.asp...

    How do retail brokers work?

    Can someone explain to me how retail brokers work. So they provide the software you can use to trade. That is obvious, but what do they do behind the scenes. Okay, so let’s say that I route my trade, and it is executed. How does it execute? And how are the shares transferred from the buyer...
