How does she deserve 5 years for lying about a call that she (the customer) got from her broker advising her to sell her remaining shares in a stock that she had been selling already? She deserves a slap on the wrist, it is her moron broker who deserves the jail time.

That might be the case, but that is not how it should be. Noone should be made so pious that the result of lying to him or her about an alledged white collar crime results in this kind of ordeal, especially when no charges are even brought on that alledged crime.

There is a difference between yelling fire in a theatre, testifying under oath and talking to someone.

Ever hear of freedom of speach?

You are a successful trader and so an astute student of human behavior, therefore you must know that he is certainly reading your posts. In fact, I can almost see the grin as he reads this one.

Why only ten days of tick data?

So you will be able to hit bids for free along with everyone else and his uncle, so what? That just means more noise and much less choppy moves upward for the long side - hardly anything to cheer about.

I am so completely amazed when I read Don's recent posts on this message board pertaining to this recent SEC interpretation. This is the head of a trading firm? Who with any sanity would publicly beat his chest about deriving some new sort of scheme in which to circumvent the short sale rule...

You say that the elimination of bullets is no big deal since there are other alternatives. Why aren't you also saying that those other alternatives (conversions) are very expensive (30-50 times so?) relative to bullets.

Why do you need two positions or two accts??? Just put a buy and sell stop 2 points above and below the mkt instead.

With this in mind, it might also be helpful to set the color temperature to a warm setting, thus eliminating the harsh brighter whites.

Someone here recommended increasing the room brightness. For me it has been better to keep the room lighting almost dark, so that I can turn the brightness of the crt monitors way down. It seems to help. It also eliminates all glare and the need for screens. I still prefer the crisp sharp...

IlX or AT financial are your best bets. If you need a new prop firm to trade remote through pm me, I might be of help.

I'm no economist, but since rising commodity prices across the board means inflation, anything correlated to inflation should mimic being long a basket of commodities. Perhaps short bonds? I understand your frustrated perseverence in wanting to find something directly related to the...

Sounds like you must be bullish on Commodities long term, as Jim Rogers is. One thing you might consider if you can't find an alternitive in equities is buying a basket of stocks that are correlated to commodites, i.e. mining companies, oil services.

It looks like the exits are to be non-discretionary and solely based on fixed money management criteria. Is this criteria known now for posting or is it decided upon at the time of entry and will vary for each trade?

This does not sound random at all. It also does not sound like it would hold up well under varied market conditions.

I did not give any requirements for anyone to do anything. I only entered into this interesting discussion with the intention of putting some logical thoughts on the table. It's not hard to understand that if someone can be profitable using completely random entries with money management...
