    Aww, cry more noob. Like I said, anyone could've requested the security device before it was required. I know making a phone call is such a hard task.

    WTF is it going to to take to get the security device from IB?????

    IB warned that it was going to require security devices weeks before the transition. Anyone could have requested the security device even before IB required it. If this is your business, you should be prepared. Don't procrastinate until you are forced to use a security device and cry like a...

    Do you stay out of the stock market when there is NO clear trend?

    I heard Jack Hershey is always in the market and always on the right side. Please review SCT if you want to make 3x ATR with no losses.

    [IB] Freezing your account for their benefit

    I appreciate the extra security knowing my money is safe. I've closed two accounts with IB and it was simple. I wired the entire account balance to myself in one day and IB will automatically close your account after a few weeks if the balance is 0.

    p/l thread 2007 skeptics and detractors

    Poll: Is it humanly possible to capture 3x ATR everday?

    Hi Jack, I've been trading for 10 years and profitable for the last 4. I have read about beliefs from different books on psychology from Mark Douglas, Ari Kiev and Van Tharp. People are limited by their beliefs which I believe to be correct. Beliefs act as a filter for the mind and...

    My view on the jack hershey method

    Since the strategy is already public, no need to hide your executions. If the strategy worked, either Jack or at least 1 person would post their execution to prove it. Please post your blotter with executions for 2 days in a row showing you are always long/short and captured 2-3x ATR.

    Should I trade full time???

    No, your expectations are unrealistic. You will be humbled. You should expect to lose money or breakeven the first few years. It's not worth the risk to quit your job with a family to have a small chance of making what you currently make now. Take a 2-4 week vacation for small test run...
