    An educator trains people scammed by other educators

    I've always been puzzled why would people want to pay thousands to attend short courses that last only a few days when they get essentially the same materials from cheap books and free internet websites/forums?

    Why is stock market unaffected by repo turmoil this week?

    Crisis in credit markets spreads to the stock markets. Financial contagion. This is nothing new at all. It happened in 2008 before.

    Why is stock market unaffected by repo turmoil this week?

    Fed's bailout of the repo money market for consecutive days look serious. Why isn't the stock market affected? I'm puzzled. Can the elitetraders here share their insights? It seems like even the all-powerful Fed is losing control of its own interest rate that it is supposed to control. Looks...

    US starts easing Chinese tariffs in exchange for nothing.

    Tariffs affect American consumers by raising cost of living. It's simplistic to think that tariffs hurt China only.

    Cannot enter Good-till-date order on TWS today

    This problem started happening today. I have been making GTD orders for a long time. This is the first time I encounter this error. My TWS version is Build 977.3c, Sep 18, 2019 10:40:30 AM. Anyone encountered the same problem? I wonder if there's a bug with this new version. GTD are basic...

    TWS price alerts suddenly disappeared

    I encounter the same problem here too. IB backend doesn't seem to be as stable as before. This problem is tolerable compared to alerts disappearance. I still can log in by manually keying in the challenge code, although it's more inconvenient.

    The all-in-One trading terminal for Stocks, possible Bloomberg Terminal alternative

    Metastock Xenith is a cheaper alternative to Bloomberg and Eiken. The richer retail investors can consider this option. From Reuters too.

    TWS price alerts suddenly disappeared

    What the hell happened? The alerts disappeared again a few minutes ago. This happened 3 times within 2 days. It's a serious problem.

    The all-in-One trading terminal for Stocks, possible Bloomberg Terminal alternative

    I still don't get it. Why not WhatsApp or Telegram? Why pay $10 or $20 a month per user when there are free options around?

    The all-in-One trading terminal for Stocks, possible Bloomberg Terminal alternative

    As a retail investor, I am confused by the so-called monopoly power of Bloomberg messaging. At the risk of sounding stupid and ignorant, why can't Bloomberg users paying huge fees switch to free WhatsApp or Telegram for messaging? By the way, how much does a Bloomberg terminal cost per month...

    TWS price alerts suddenly disappeared

    The same issue happened 2 days in a row. Alerts totally disappeared the next morning. The first time it happened was yesterday on a Sunday 8Sep2019. Markets don't open in the weekend, so it cannot be alerts getting hit. I created new alerts after the alerts totally disappeared yesterday. This...

    TWS price alerts suddenly disappeared

    I tried but the alerts are gone. I think the alerts are stored on the server, rather than on the client PC. Restoring layouts will not help.

    TWS price alerts suddenly disappeared

    I discovered over 90% of my price alerts have mysteriously disappeared. This is a big blow to me because they represent several hours of pain-staking work. Can the alerts be recovered? I need the alerts to inform me when important trades are ready to be made. Has anyone encountered the same...

    The Hedge Fund That Wasn’t

    Is the impressive historical track record audited? These are numbers that one cannot fake when independently verified by 3rd-party auditor.

    The month that went nowhere...

    Congratulations. Many longer-term stock traders I know who hold their positions for weeks on average had a bad time coping with Trump tweets which strike unpredictably. Are you a short-term/swing intraday trader who hold the positions for hours on average? I'm not into intra-day trading but I...

    Banker blamed in 2008 financial crisis sues co-op for causing ‘severe financial hardship’

    What does he mean by severe financial hardship? That property he owns dropped $5m in price. What is $5m to someone with successful corporate track record as Wall Street CEO?
