Sorry -- I did not see that LionSec had already started an excellent thread on recent articles or else I would have simply added my articles to it. Here is link to LionSec's thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=2026&pagenumber=1

LionSec, My apologizes to you. I did not see this thread before starting a new one on some recent articles on the new SEC rules. If I had seen your thread first, I would simply have added to it. Thanks for the work you did on this thread

Def, Like you, I "don't see how you can have T+0 settlement without the counter party delivering the stock on T+0." We are in agreement there. That is not the issue for me, rather it is: "CAN counter parties deliver the stock in T+0?" One of Fohat's contribution's to this discussion is...

Meant to mention that Ameritrade support reps told me that I can trade my cash account as frequently as I want, I just can't withdraw funds from sales that have not been settled.

Def, thanks for the explanation re who interprets SEC rules/regulations. It sounds like each brokerage is responsible for doing its own interpretation in conjunction with guidance from SEC in some cases. That explains why differing opinions exist at this late stage of implementation. Fohat...

I think this thread is discussing the bottomline critical issue for traders with accounts smaller than $25,000. My current trading account is less than $25,000 and I can survive as a trader without finding a new source of funds if I have immediate clearing after each transaction. I do not have...

Thanks, Tony01, Htrader, Fohat!

I have read a lot of comments on these boards regarding the deadline for implementation of the new SEC daytrading margin rule. Would appreciate any help in clarifying the following: 1. I read somewhere that the deadline is Sept. 28 for one stock exchange and August 27 for another. Is this...

Redart11, Since first seeing your thread I noted possible interested groups as I surf around the web. Here are some I found, mostly mentioned in newsarticles about the new SEC daytrading rules. Electronic Traders Assoc.(ETA) - Bill Lauderback Dimeplay28 mentioned that ETA might not be...

Hoyler, Thanks for the links. Because of this thread, I will pay more attention to bollinger bands and will look at these links.

I also get blue arrows. Just tried one for the first time -- it worked.

I use ZoneAlarm, not just to protect myself, but also to keep my computer from being used for hostile attacks that shut down targeted servers and/or websites. Hackers can load programs onto unprotected computers and use these computers to send messages that create disrupting overloads. The...

Baron, I like the new, expanded categories for discussion topics. Nice! [I am talking about the categories seen after clicking on "More Topics.." on the elitetrader.com home page.]

Hoyler, Your response took a lot of time and effort on your part, which I recognize and appreciate. Part of the trouble I was having was that I couldn't see that the concept of persistency added much over the the concept of reversion to the mean. That is, it seemed to me that you could...

Thanks for your detailed example showing exactly how you used BBs to trade BRCM. I find it very interesting and helpful. In your linked message, you explain that Persistency is the continuance of an effect after the cause which first gave rise to it is removed. Would you say more about...

Here's an idea. I would welcome feedback from everyone, especially any alerts to possible flaws. You have to have strong discipline and a new credit card(s) that offers a very low introductory interest rate for six months. Borrow the money from this credit card for your trading account...

def, You were right -- I was interested in seeing IB's response. I will post a link to it on a http://www.clearstation.com board. Did not know you had already posted a link to Datek's response -- either it was on another thread at this site or I missed it when reading this thread. I have...

You can get a lot of information about computer memory from the FAQs at http://www.crucial.com. Link is at top of their home page. This is where I learned such things as the difference between CL2 and CL3, between non-parity and ECC memory, etc. I found the explanations to be clear...

Found the following link in a message by woodfish on http://www.clearstation.com. It appears to be the comments made by Datek to the SEC during the comment period for the new daytrading rules. I found it interesting to see what issues were identified by a large online brokerage...
