They are only trying to help. They do not understand exactly where the problem is and figure that the two of you might be able to sort it out on the phone. That is usually a good idea. I know who the firm is from your file upload and they are reputable and would never try to cheat anybody...

In my opinion you would be better to find a single transaction line that is wrong in their statements using their method of accounting. In other words, put their statements into a spreadsheet using their method of accounting (which you will have to figure out - yes this is complicated) and...

Balances cannot be wrong on their own without an underlying transaction being wrong. Your daily and monthly statements show how the balances are derived from the transactions on the account. You need to go through the daily and monthly statements and find a *transaction* that is wrong and...

What's the point of posting on a two-year old thread? Better to start a new one and link to the old one.

They are newbies who do searches on some subject and then post on any thread, no matter how old, that turns up and seems remotely similar to their subject of interest. They do not want to start a new thread because they are vaguely aware of admonitions on some other forums not to start new...

That may be applicable just to the TT charges rather than the commissions. I can tell you that is the way that CTS charges - just one transaction charge on a native spread - and I suspect TT is the same. Commissions are another matter.

I have observed this problem also. I think the best solution would be to just automatically lock a thread once it is inactive for 90 days. If it were just a warning they would just ignore it.

No that was just because the email was sent by them. Anyone can sign up.

I got this email and it might be very educational to take the trial. ====================================== Many of you already know Jeff Augen as an acknowledged derivatives trading authority, and author of six books revealing and demystifying the technical complexities of options...

(1) Earned income means money from a job. So probably no unless trading is your job. For more exact definition see http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/What-is-Earned-Income%3F You might be able to do it if you set up a corp. and have it pay you a salary. (2) Only in certain cases on...

They only had enough money to barely cover the customer accounts and even that was doubtful until MFG Trustee Freeh gave up a little from the secured debt holders. I do not even think that all of the debt will be paid off, so that would leave nothing for stockholders.

Net saving. I would not make the terminology too complicated. They will understand what you mean easily enough. If you succeed, it will be in significant part because they admire your gumption.

Our user group is hosting this meeting. It is a large meeting room so we still have room for some more people. The meeting is free to anyone. For anyone who wants to come without joining the Meetup group, that's fine, but in that case I would appreciate a PM or email so that we can plan...

Agreed - I would go for a business litigation attorney in the state or province where the owners of the business live. They will be all set to issue liens etc., whereas if you go with a general attorney that will be further steps away.

Didn't I read somewhere that they cut their maximum cancel fee to one cent? Or is that for something else.......

Failing all else you can associate with an options-oriented proprietary trading firm in the U.S. Clearing would then be under their name so Canadian regs. would not be a problem. People in the Prop. trading forum could help on that. Or you could incorporate a U.S. or other-country company.

Any platform that can route to Interactive Brokers should be ok since your IB account can be with IB Canada.

Exactly right......

Ratios are bad. They amount to selling naked legs. They represent a huge waste of margin and will tie up a huge fraction of your account for no real prospect of gain proportional to the margin you are tying up, even assuming that you choose to ignore the unlimited risk of a sudden market...

The thread title is completely wrong. The original poster is in Alberta and (incorrectly) generalizes his Alberta problem opening an account with a non-Canadian broker. Obviously there are FX brokers in Canada such as Oanda Canada http://fxtrade.oanda.ca/ "OANDA (Canada)...
