    How to deal with boredom?

    I am also bored...so lets form some kind of a networking club to socialize and do stuff. If you do have a regular job in office people go out every week and they have other office parties. So lets start a traders party. Here are some suggestions: 1) Play a sport or work out 2) Watch...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    Yep..that sounds like a good idea. why don't we discuss about a solution! It will be a good idea to have a list of all the prop firms that are members of CBOE since in that case, you don't need a series 7. Also, if the PDT rules apply to both licensed and non-licensed day traders then...

    Lynx Capital

    Lynx Capital was started by a former Worldco superstar trader by name Leon... They teach you market short strategies... With the SEC suing Tuco, not sure if this is a good idea to join any LLC. What is the deal that you are getting there? how much deposit ? comm? etc?

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    I am not an attorney ...so can't give you legal advice. But the whole issue here is this: If an LLC takes the deposits etc.. then the SEC wants them to be a licensed broker / dealer. So the SEC wants the LLC to be licensed broker / dealer.

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    Besides being registered as a broker dealer, my understanding of the issue is this: only 4 to 1 buying power even with all the licenses. So even if they register to be a broker dealer, I don't think the SEC would allow Tuco to give more than 4 to 1 in buying power for intra-day trading...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    Yep makes sense..Thanks I have read a lot about famous scandals Michael Milken.... Harshad Mehta....(The great Indian bull who swindled a few billion dollars) I still don't think it is fair to SEC to come and tell an LLC guy hey, you can't give him 10 to 1... Isn't this like...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    Yes. Dude, all the SEC is telling is this: we want to protect you the people we don't want you to loose just 5000 instead we want you to loose more; 30,000 (since 25k is the maintenance margin; you cannot trade if equity goes below 25K any single second)... This will be a...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    I always wonder where does the money come from for all this 100 to 1 or 400 to 1 leverage? Is it some thing like an accounting adjustment ? since there is no real cash changing hands only buying power to trade stocks......... If some one is getting 100 to 1 rather than 4 to 1 then where is...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    If a beginner wants to learn to drive a car, he or she would buy a car for say $5000...knowing that there is an 80% chance of a "major accident" in the first 3 years. Imagine the government (SEC) having a new law that says all new drivers should only purchase a brand new car for $40K and...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    That means even legitimate firms like Bright and Echo would be affected right? Would love to hear from Don Bright... I know for a fact that some of their traders who do OO or Pairs need lots of leverage.. So this could mean the end of Opening Only and Pairs Trading..unless some one gets...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    Also, just to clarify... so minimum is 25K.. i understand this. are you telling me that even with 25K down and all the licenses they cannot give more than 4 to 1 buying power? then what is the point of being licensed? I thought the whole point of being licensed is to get uncapped buying...
