There are always, disturbed individuals like yourself who desperately try to seek attention to themselves by trashing very useful and informative threads, as this one has been which is full of content contributed by experienced traders regarding important issues such as the Cost of Trading which...

OT, Obviously you're not churning hundreds of contracts per day as I do, because, I find your way of trading very risky and I’m not in this business to try and justify where the market should be heading according to my analysis. The way I trade, the market can do what it likes and frankly I...

Jack, So are mine, in fact, 100% correct. If the posted table is not clear, the pic attached is crystal clear and ver informative.

There is a firm that I do not want to promote here since they clear with RCG which is the most brain dead firm around. Anyhow, they charge .35 per side which is .70 rt + 650 XT / 5000 = .83 / rt add 2.30 for all else and it comes to 3.13 rt Vs. IB at 3.68 the diff is .57 which is a humongous...

This is what is upsetting about IB, they make their comm. Structure so that between the 4 of us not 2 end p with the same results! Here’s how I reached my calc.: Cum. Tot. Comm. Cum Qty. Side Cum Tot. RT Qty. per Tier per side per RT Cum Comm. Side IB AVG. COM All In $ 360.00 300...

What is important is the average cost of course. Then to bring the IB cost down to $1 per RT(which is what others offer with min. a few hundred trades only) will have to do 13,000 RT's with IB!!! Then at 13 k rt, one could get much lower comms from others too. My comfort level is say 5,000...

Shouldn't Fed. as a Band Aid cure, NOT allow shorting of the Bank's and other Financial institutes? As in when one couldn't short on a down tick and now on bigger scale, NO shorting allowed on a Down Hill free fall Share? Like anytime a share tumbles beyond a certain momentum etc.?

"........but the Southern California lender was not on the FDIC's list of 90 banks that could be in danger of failing..." How does one get hold of that 90 list?
