Do you think that one who does not understand what leverege does can manage his risk aproriately? That is the why many don't recommend high leverage. You also forget that the more leverage you use the more you need to control the drawdown...unless you're a gambler.

Market overreacted and it's pulling back. It hardly means the major trend is up.

Leverage is good as long as you don't put all eggs in one basket. For example, you could use 25% of BP for trading 25% for averaging and 50% of it for hedging.

Try PsExec. It will let you select which processors your app can run on. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx

No, it is not legal. But then they propably dont's say "not responsible for any financial discrepancies" ... Just get the card.

I think OP does not have a problem with getting the margin call but the way IB handled it. I'm with IB and also interested how other brokers would handle the situation. I know TDA and BoA give days of notice but that's apples to oranges....

That's a false sense of security. If market tanks automated system will liquidate at the worst possible time, in large numbers. That's a recepie for a large number of IB customers to go insolvent. Better for IB to keep margin requirements high before sh*t happens.

1.We had a lot problems with Acers. 80% died after 16 months... 2.Lenovo is not as good as IBM, I got T400 and I'm going to return it. 3. HP laptops are good but low res I really like the sony FW170: 1600x900, 6.4lbs, good keyboard, fast and cool P8400 25W CPU...

TDAmeritrade has a free blackberry and iphone software to trade and monitor stocks/portfolio/news. I tested it on BB and found it too slow ,EDGE network, and too small. I think Nokia N810 using VNC/RDP connection to a real PC would work much better. Personally I'm waiting for sub-notebook...

I find 25tick charts quite relaxing. I'm not in it for the money :D Enough about me, I meant what I said: what's stranger to do, lie and prise the desist because it's a nice thing to do? It's best to say nothing, but this is internet...

Looks like you're looking for pity from strangers. Many view suicide as a sin or easy way out. Personally I don't know what I would do if I had lost so much money but hopefully I would find a reason to continue. Perhaps this is why some don't think so highly of the departed. I'm sorry for...

Thanks for mentioning it. I'm looking for graybox functionality and I think this might be it even for someone who last programmed a decade ago :)... I was not even aware that I can get c# IDE for free. mr

thank you for clarifying which douche, you hope, we vote for :p One wants to spend our money the other our children's money...

It was good in the past but, in my opinion, it is too risky right now due to governments involvement in financial markets.

That is true, unfortunatelly right now and for the near future it will show us, very efficiently, how screwed up we are. walstreet is just the manifestation of the crisis. If market recovers soon - it will crash again until all govenments agree who pays and how much for all the debt...

I think right now people are scared of Monday. This week did not offer a pop so Friday is the last sell oportunity (since Monday could be black). Self fulfilling prophecy...just like technical analysis. I guess, with upcoming earnings reports, negative GDP, >150k unemployment, and low-key...

Thanks for the hint. It took me a while to find it. Here's the link for anyone who's interested: http://radiotime.com/program/p_55566/This_is_America.aspx

Education, work ethics, productivity is all nice short term. It's all about resources and who controls them. Period.

Mozy is useless for archiving if that is your intention. For cheap and unlimited storage you can try a combination of jungledrive and amazon s3 service.
