If you understand "Price TA" and can make "reasonable trades with tight stops"... then you can get by with <$30K/contract margin. If you're NOT doing that, you should not bother with trading at all.

Correctamundo! Even if the performance is "theoretical"... if you're "holding yourself out to the public", you're not allowed to lie/exaggerate.

I once opened a futures account with a check... broker wouldn't clear it for trading for "9 F'n Days"! (Broker could have called the bank to see if the check would clear, you know!) Just goes to show... if you're a financial person, you want to grow up to be a bank/insurance company/broker...

My experience with ACH has been somewhere between "next day" and "4-5 days", depending upon the institution(s). Protocol for ACH says, "up to 6 days"... and of course that's BS.. they're just "playing the float" for whatever tiny amount that is these days of ZIRP. Wires... those are same day...

Kinda sucks. If you're smart/lucky enough to capitalize on a trading situation (even when it didn't involve insider info or front-running), you might not get to keep your profits. Though in Madoff's case... involved fraud. No surprise about the claw-back.

$100K gain regularly would need to be a on a large account. To promote otherwise is likely fraud.

Check the DOM and roll any time the bid volume is bigger than your size. If that's not ever going to be the case, you'll just have to accept the split fill. Market or limit should be about the same.

Politicos are often to "Ready, Fire, Aim".

There's the "resolution" thing. Have you considered 2x, 27", UHD monitors in portrait mode? That would be 4320x3840 resolution and would be 29"x25" size.

Hey... it's California, baby! :) Q: How long will the state presume that I am still a resident after I leave? A: You are generally presumed to be a California resident for a period of 18 months after you leave the state...

State income tax, I think.

CA wants to an likely thinks they can. Doesn't CA already tax those who leave for 18 months? ??

"... The threat of a wealth tax is spurring conversation among California’s wealthy and their financial advisors on whether they should move now... as the proposed wealth tax carries an unusual feature: The state could assess it for 10 years after someone leaves California..."...

Looks like it had a "cloud" to it. Pelosi appears to be gasping for breath and wanted to raise up her mask, though that wouldn't have done any good. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy/pair. :)

Looks to me like no significance at all.

How did you "gamble" in a pool hall? Did they have slot machines? Keno? (Playing pool for money isn't gambling. I did plenty of that myself.)

Is the buyer looking at $10 Million/year in property taxes?? Even that is "only" ~1% of the property value per year. Property taxes where I live run about 0.6% per year. I talked with one poor slob in New Jersey whose property taxes run 2.5% per year (gotta fund them public employees...

I'm not a handgun "expert"... nor any kind of gun expert. But I have qualified Expert Marksman with a battle rifle on a military range 4 times... once with an M-14* and 3 times with an M-16. I've got me some hand guns... hope I never need to use them. * That was on the 400 meter range at Ft...

What happened to that? You mean 44 Mag, don't you? I've got me a 357 Mag one of them!! (It's very loud.)

Sorry if you took offense. Arguing trading is like arguing religion. Traders are very stubborn about what they believe. (I'm that way too, of course. I'm willing to consider that I'm wrong if someone can show me where... but not just because somebody "says so". I'm not some "ET wannabe"...
