Not sure what that means. Did he signal for a trade, then deny it when it instantly went against him? It's funny. Futures trading, and trading in general, is always depicted in movies as being so high-class. Expensive suits and Bentleys. But it has always seemed very blue-collar to...

Sounds like you're good enough, you're smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like you! :D

Yes he was investigated by the SEC for securities fraud. During an appearance on CNBC (he used to appear as a guest with Haynes) he blabbed about how he was going to short the crap out of some stock, etc., etc. - the usual Cramer style. I watched the the show that day, but I forget the...

SHLD, DNA, DKS, CELG, FLDR,..., ..., ... Okay, maybe he got GOOG right, but tracking sites I've seen show Cramer not beating the indices after commission. And the "from the gut" trading style is what almost ruined his hedge fund. His wife had to step in and save the day. And from what he...

One of the better quotes around here! :p

How do you find these ancient threads??? :confused: Oh yeah, you're Sherlock Holmes! :cool: Good trading to all. C

Just move to the West coast! Good ole PST works for me. My job is from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, so I get up around 5:00 AM and start all my systems and monitor until about 6:45 AM. Only gives me about 15 minutes of the NY open, but that's all I need. Come on over, the weather's nice. All we...

I remember one of the writers over at Real Money describing his (proprietary) automated news/sentment grabber. It would go to various places on the web and gather board posts and news articles, and then parse them (it probably had a list of keywords and added up a sentiment "score"). I...

Selling the 70 Oct Puts instead of the cov call is much more margin efficient, and still has the same r/r and p/l graph. But I will agree that sometimes it makes sense, and the fact is it is very easy to over-lever with NPs. Doing the CCs makes sense with that in mind. And if you are going...

I just got a cool IB ballcap in the mail today! Anybody else get one? Hey, I deserve it - I've paid about $20K in commish the last few years! (yeah I know, I'm a piker) :p

Yeah, what's wrong with EE work? It's been berry berry good to me! :cool:

keyser's last post: A.D., check out this thread -- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...&threadid=52424 I tried to turn 5k into 260k. So far i'm pretty close to failing, but this is good for you... Due to the law of averages, if I fail, that means you have a better shot at it...

You might try emailing or PMing ET member kjkent1. I believe he is a lawyer. While I'm sure he wouldn't give you free legal representation, he might give you a couple clues as to what could be your next best move. Good luck...

Sorry, it's just that the performance and trade lists look exactly like WL's, but inputted to Word... Heck, I use WLD and like it. My only point is that, if I was running millions of dollars in OPM, I'd afford a better system than a free web-based one. :D

I don't get it. This is from the Wealth-Lab site, using the free web-based port $imulator. (and fwiw the other systems discussed on this thread look like WL systems too) You are a fund manager and you use these types of tools?

Yeah ES, It would be great to nail those guys. I also don't see how they can keep getting away with it. Everybody who uses the 'Net can be traced to a physical location, can't they? I guess you can use fake ID to set up ISP accounts and servers, but isn't everybody's NIC (network...

I've been following this thread and I have yet to hear how these Etrade thefts happened? The posters here who have thefts still seem to indicate that they have no idea how it happened. They have said they did not respond to those bogus Etrade phishing emails and revealed their account number...

Everybody, please, get and use one of the new electronic (physical) security token devices. IB has these. They are free if your account is over $100K. Interactive Brokers Issues Security Tokens to Prevent Fraud GREENWICH, Conn., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- To prevent any risk of...

Hey, at about a 30% tax rate, that's $20,000 you won! Unless they are digging out a pile of penalties too... But I think if you win more than $2500 they make you sign a form. Sure as heck never happened to me. :( p.s. now that I've made my usual off-topic nonsense post, you can close...
