I would like to make a clear distinction in this discussion. Profiting from a crisis, even if it was caused by terrorists, should/need not be a moral problem to a trader. Not in general. If you have a problem with that, don't trade at all. However, knowing that the same terrorist groups...

OK Candletrader, you've made your point numerous times now. There's no need to repeat your utterly simplistic view to the world again and again. Your repeated call for violence and conflict as well as rejection of reason actually makes me believe that you and TraderX - with whom you had a very...

Well, no, you don't anger me by saying that. In fact some relegions appear to make some people susceptible to manipulation. But having no religion at all is imo a guarantee for being brainwashed sooner or later.

Reading this discussion a few ideas come to my mind: 1. The simple idea of retaliation ("talio" which is basically "an eye for an eye..."), driven by a feeling of need for revenge is never going to bring any good. And in fact I don't think any American would think that whoever did this should...

Two series of impressive NYC pictures: http://www.brandtheory.com/press/ http://www.leighsmith.com/PhotoAlbum/TradeTowerAttack/index.html New pics are still being added to the second link.

Yesterday all European markets closed 5-8 % lower. (I have no exact figures.) At this moment, when most markets have been open for 1-1½ hours here's some figures: London (FTSE-100): +2.03% Paris (CAC40): +1.22% Frankfurt (DAX): +1.69% Amsterdam (AEX): +1.62% Brussels (BEL-20): +0.13%...

Zarrar, I feel sorry to read that you live in NYC. I hope you did not lose any friends, relatives or collegues. I also hope that you will find the peace of mind to somehow come to terms with Tuesday's terrible events. I agree with Kicking and I suggest we drop this 25K issue for a while...

This is not the time/place/occasion to discuss the SEC 25k rule.:(

I was just having my first trial day at www.daytraders.com's Trading Desk. What an introduction. They cover it fairly well. Sign up for a trial and you can be in it in 10-15 mins. (read only). I wish to express my sympathy to the people of the United States. I'm shocked.

- originally by def - i didn't mean to imply you shouldn't check all details as certainly mistakes can be made. What I clearly meant to say is that IB has a solid reputation and the implication that the firm does anything unethical with an order (i.e. doing anything but a best effort basis to...

OK let's stop bashing the poor kid then. I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for him.

And what about voodoo_investments_inc? I wonder what his IP is.

And what happens when I press "kill"? Is it the same as ignore? I surely don't want to kill any of you folks, but I'd love to try it out. Or shall I use myself as a guinea-pig and risk committing suicide?:D

def, Please don't take all this personally, but "Trust us or leave us" has never been very convincing to me. However Turok has shown that with all the regulations and controls and openness (to those who have the tools and the knowledge, like Turok, that is) it has become extremely...

Rigel, I think you very rightly make the distinction between illegal and dishonest. I don't think any broker would try to break any law or regulation, they know too well that they won't get away with it. But in matters of money a good dosis of mistrust/suspicion seems to me a healthy attitude...

Thanks Baron, the chique beige is back! I agree with DT-waw upon the space line, but actually that's no big deal to me. The main thing is: legibility is back!

Turok, Thanks for your elaborate reply. - I'll open the T&S window more often and study it. With the IB trigger system based on prints in addition to bids/asks Where do I find that triggering system? I only found some general remarks on their website. Could not find the "double hit...

OK thanks, Next time I'll do that immediately then.

OK def, Can I still do that now, the day after? If I find the time I will do that, unless you mean that I should have done that immediately when it happened. BTW I now remember that I did hit the chat and e-mail options in the help menu, but I got an error message (still do). I should then...

Baron, can we please have the colored background back? White is pretty uncomfortable to the (already tired) eyes. For the rest, this new look seems quite OK to me.
