What have you been smoking? Link please.

I havent read the article but are you sure you are interpreting the percentages correctly? E.g. is the 50k+ group 11% of the original 1000 (e.g. 110 people) or is it 11% of the 36% who are profitable (1000 x .11 x .36 = 40 people). From what you wrote above its not clear, perhaps the article...

I've read every post in this thread and I've found Maverick's posts to be honest, forthright and refreshing - not sure why every thread has to turn into a d*ck measuring contest, if you can't make a rational argument without resorting to "I'm profitable so everything I say must be right" then...

I disagee that a limit order is always associated with a counter-trend, that may be the case if you are placing a limit order outside of the current market (e.g. buying at the current bid or less) Example: NQ is trading 1627/1627.50 bid/ask, if I place a buy limit order at 1627.50 it is no...

Yes, they counted cards. sKaLpZ has stated several times that he is not counting cards. He seems to think he has an edge with varying his bet size yet the method he uses for varying the bet does not appear to follow any logical method that would give an edge, e.g. "If I lose X times in a row...

Scary if you really believe that.

It sounds like you are assuming that there is an equal distribution of open interest across all strike prices which isnt the case.

Interesting, you know two people that you don't consider your friends (and vice-versa) that are willing to let you run off with $20k and lose all of it? Are they asking you to sign anything or do they plan on just handing you checks and trusting you to do the right thing if you do show a...

I think the only issue that remains is whether IB will count this forced transfer as an IRA contribution (and generate the appropriate IRS records) or not. If they don't then there is no issue, you don't report it, they don't report it - the IRS never needs to know about it, case closed...

There are some grammatical, tense and spelling errors that I would correct before sending out.

I think many people repeat soundbites they overheard about this case without knowing the facts, I'm sure there is bias in this account too but if you havent read this I invite you to read and judge for yourself: http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm

Interesting, I pulled the tick data for ECST for this morning and I only see a couple of prints at 3.60 and I assumed they had to be sells. Quite the amazing fill you got there.

Does not compute

You are not liable for their mistake, you are liable for the losses you incurred - their mistake did not cause your losses, your (bad) trading did. Also if you think that a bank error leading to extra money showing up in your account isnt something that they can and will reverse (or go...

kizzy looks like you found the solution to your other post back in Feb, but it doesn't sound like you're happy with it :) http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=686604#post686604

I wonder if there is a business opportunity here, picture a future's broker that offers automatic catastrophic coverage (losses beyond 100 pt move on ES or NQ are covered) of customer positions for a certain cost per contract per time period. The broker would have to dynamically...

Yea, that's actually a pretty old joke, someone sells below his cost but he makes it up in volume... I would bet that no one gets Intel chips cheaper than Dell though & they must have some pretty serious pricing leverage when they go out to buy commodity items like CD drives, hard drives, etc...

Not sure what you get for $2000 but you can get 2GB of RAM very cheap these days (<$200) and I always buy my RAM aftermarket not from the PC maker because they overcharge bigtime. $2000 sounds like a gaming machine with a high-end video card, DVD burner, e.g. the works... not sure why you...
