Somehow there has be a way for serious professional traders to post and exchange serious trading discussion without getting drowned out in short order. I like Baron's analogy of signal-to-noise ratios.

Unfortunately, even tempered and rational moderation of what the AMP contractor was posting to begin with would have avoided all this nonsense. You can't call this a victory for freedom of speech when only one point of view is allowed to be published on your website. Only the lawyers win.

Anything you can do in terms of weeding out the nastiness and buffoonery, and promoting serious hardcore topical trading discussion would greatly improve the ET experience. There truly needs to be a serious content shift.

I stand corrected and my apologies to BM. Good to see that both parties can put this behind them and get on with their lives. I'm sure both would have acted differently with the benefit of hindsight. In the end, it is the lawyers who profit the most.

In Civil matters, a dismissal with prejudice means that the plaintiff AMP is barred from filing another case on the same claim. Within legal civil procedure, prejudice is a loss or injury, and refers specifically to a formal determination against a claimed legal right or cause of action...

I think that is a really valid and fair point. AMP could have pursued a judgement against the contractor, and then asked BMT for a retraction or edit or whatever. In terms of Free Speech, say anything about anyone you want. But if you're crossing a line into the realm of specific and...

AMP could only file again if the allegations were materially different than the original tort ( that's what the legal term " prejudice" means in the Judge's ruling ). Likewise, AMP could appeal the existing ruling. But it's still low rent white trash to beg your clients to pay your legal...

I have been following the BMT dust-up with AMP with passive curiosity, and it strikes me that to successfully moderate a forum requires a tremendously level head and even temperament. Quite the balancing act. If ET's posting policies, censuring and editing are too heavy- handed on individual...

And that is the most relevant point. IMHO BM brought this upon himself because of his personal style and biases. "Moderating" an online forum, especially one that is a commercial enterprise that takes fees from both members and vendors, is a delicate matter that requires a great deal of...

Low rent white trash move, that's why. If you have thousands of members paying a subscription fee for "elite" status , plus sponsors and vendors and "partners" that are paying you every month for the privilege of kissing your ass and avoiding your wrath and hustling your members - IMHO...

And he's still begging for legal fees from site members.

Sure. And it varies between clients in terms of to what extent that client is capitalized and who they clear quite frankly. Most of my clients use CTS and TT and CQG-IC ( and some are using RTS, etc.) because they are full time professional traders and those platforms are what they got used...

For the first time since I started taking on private clients, I can now say that a solid percentage of my clients are using IB accounts to good effect in order to trade exchange supported futures spreads. I am not referring to creating synthetic spread combinations through TWS - I am...

A gun is supposed to dangerous - that's what it was designed for. Cars and fire and chainsaws and Habanero peppers and red-heads and deli meat slicers and knives and deep fryers and old baby beds and fold out convertible couches and sitting along the first base line terrace section at a...

Hey, if it works you can call it anything you would care to ! I was simply adding some context and clarification to Magic's post regarding your choice of terminology - nothing more. It might be confusing to some readers given the traditional use of the term " order flow trading". Again...

Most traders associate the term "order flow trading" as a very short term day trading / scalping strategy which requires hyper concentration on a singular product's price ladder. Others use the term "tape reading". If you are interested in longer term order flows, I would suggest looking...

A Detroit Free Press article quotes the Detroit Chief of Police: Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police...

There is no record of a member relationship between Newtown killer Adam Lanza, nor between Nancy Lanza, A. Lanza or N. Lanza with the National Rifle Association.

He was the guy in the background yelling: "Let 'er rip, 'tater chip !" and just laughing his ass off at the whole thing.

Was not always that way. The past several years of in some cases police and in manifold ways regulatory agencies hell bent on selective enforcement of the law to achieve a politically oriented outcome is quite frankly a reality these days.
