what kind of laptop.. model and mfr please...

I can understand what you are saying... but I am thinking we have different definitions as to what entails inside information... I think broader when it comes to the markets I trade(aggrs)... like yields, conditions, etc... more than dealing with just a single or few farmers that will give a...

you would be the first and only one, assuming you are not regulated, that would not trade on close knowledge/information about a business... I know that if I breathed/lived beans, I would trade nothing but beans... so if I breathe/live bellies... then I would trade bellies...

misinformation is a bit of a strong word... and what you are asking him to ponder below is nothing more than what one should do to identify what is best for one to trade, nothing more... I would have presumed anyone has asked themselves that question before ever trading...

accounting firms are still made up of people... I will just say: Arthur Andersen... Balance Sheets can still be falsified, even with a top tier accounting firm auditing them.... too many companies to name in that case to show an example... the only real way for an investor in...

perhaps due to order internalization within SCH?

and more importantly, if your current IRA custodian does not provide you with sufficient variety and access to products, just move it to another one that will...

cash on a futures account is not covered by anything... only Broker Dealers (BD's) as long as you had a securities account, are covered by SIPC... to the best of my knowledge, IB accounts are SIPC and Lloyds protected against the failure of IB... keep in mind the equity of the company is used...

regardless of whatever market you choose, or instrument/product, there is always counterparty risk... can't be avoided... your ability to get your funds from a fx broker is as good as their reliability... MFG and PFG were not the same case... PFG was outright fraud, MFG was the violation of...

so we are in the same page, I am not saying that stops dont work.. what I am saying is that they are not the best method to prevent damage... shoot up, gapped, running through... depending on how many orders, and their size, were resting at the level of the stop and whatever positions the...

LOL.... give it a try... let's see where it gets filled... if there are no bids/offers at that level where your stop is... you will get filled wherever they exist at that point in time ... so in the example provided... if the cross moves $10 against you, and your stop was at -$1 and you are...

+1 for the dark pools... but as to the HFT... you are mistaken on that one... granted, not at the sub-penny level... but more about influencing price discovery...

in FX, the broker PnL is on the spread.. so there is commission... and while available 24x7... the spreads widen when trading outside of the main market hours for many crosses...

1) not necessily true, you dont have to overleverage... just making the margin is $500 intraday doesnt mean you should trade 10 contracts with a $5000 account. The contract specs are what they are and the margin from the clearing is what it is, but the leverage part... that is the individual...

the only ones that might fit your bill are funds that are already in that space... so yes, partnering might be the way to exploit your edge... i know some investment banks will let you co-lo next to their infra at NY4, NJ2, etc... but you cant be a two legged individual... i dont know what...

I hope you have really, really deep pockets... you are not just talking about co-locating @ one exchange, but multiple venues... if you are trading equities you will need to be @ mahwah, carlstadt, weehawken, secaucus, carteret, and nutley... just to mention a few... but it doesnt sound to me...

no, dont say that!!! ... all those people with 8+ monitors will get angry... they need the fastest computer and the greatest amount of monitors to beat the market... :D

definitely Investor/RT and CQGIC... not sure about ratios with MC and AB...

the age of the OS has little to do... XP is still stable depending on what you are doing with it... and for market data, the end user computer is the least of the worries... retail does not get a raw data feed at all and IB bursts their data, so he is not receiving every single tick across...
