    doubt it could be a fair trade for that tick data... anyhow who has it, would have paid a few tens of thousands for it... why dont you go to www.tickdata.com and purchase the databases for the instruments you want...

    Need Advice On FIOS

    OP, if you are able to get FiOS... don't hesitate and get it... you will be glad you did... I only wish VZ was around where I am, but sadly I am a slave to the monopoly of my cable company given I am way too far from a CO... you can always have your house cabled up new for around $75 a run...

    IB's IRA Margin Account

    settlement is never avoided, it still takes place T+3... if not, try to take the cash out (well, that is hard on a IRA, but hopefully you get my point).... all that takes place is that you are allowed to trade the "free up" cash from the closing of the trade to open other trades... but...

    How do you deal with the IRS?

    you can't short... but you can trade instruments that reflect your view on the markets... there are inverse ETF's and futures as well... but I agree with you... hard to find a long position when the market is bear... and Roth is restrictive in terms of how to fund it... regular IRA's are much...

    Solo LLC vs Individual on Earnings

    that is naive to think.... a solo LLC can be easily pierce given it is easy to prove that it is the alterego of the individual... consult an attorney if your concern is liability, a combination of LLC and umbrella/E&O might cover you, but if you are trading under an LLC (an make tons of $$$)...

    IB's IRA Margin Account

    yes, and clearly being able to google requires little thought.... how about this... why dont you research instead the IRS rules on IRA accounts and you will understand that what you are getting is not margin.

    Solo LLC vs Individual on Earnings

    just a reminder, US Cit's are taxed on their global income, regardless of which country... there are some countries that have tax treaties... but then again, to make any significant impact on your liability to the rev services you would need to be baking millions to make it worth going offshore...

    IB's IRA Margin Account

    where did you get that idea from? last I check, IRA's do not get mrgin, and I have an IB IRA... so I know this for a fact... that i am able to trade futures and option spreads, does not mean that you are allowed margin.... otherwise, I would be using it to trade as well... if you want to day...

    Solo LLC vs Individual on Earnings

    hmmm... unless you are a corp, the way you will pay FICA is via SE tax... so not sure how you are structured... in any event, to me it is worth it being able to put away close to $50K a year on an individualK plan that enables me to use those funds and turn around and buy real estate with it...

    Solo LLC vs Individual on Earnings

    +1.... that is the main reason for trading under LLC, when not a member under a prop account that is.... you can fund the things you can not otherwise... OP, you should have a free consult with http://www.greencompany.com/ ... they are better suited than any of us to give you the kind of...

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    exactly... but if the "trader" is not profitable... they will have to pay $800 for 1 market or $1700 for all (hey, you get the spreader at least! :)) ... so doubt someone with less than a $25K account can really afford it... so they should just deal with the higher cost of doing business unless...

    The best cheapest monitors??

    sadly... 16:10 aspect ratio is gone the way of the dino... so if you really want 1920x1200... buy now... I personally prefer those as well... everything going forward will be 16:10 or 1080P pretty much... I still have, in the box, 24.1" SUN monitors because they support the resolution I...
