This won't help much. You still have to pay US taxes for 10 years after renouncing your US citizenship. There is special provision for that. http://www.hodgsonruss.com/article_462.html

MB Trading has COM controls and C# wrapper example. It is very easy to use.

They deposited the money after I emailed them the image of the cleared check. I guess the whole problem is that I'm new customer to them. I don't have issues like that with my other broker.

WOW! One of the reasons I switched to them last week was their new .004 rate. Surprise: it's gone. I'll call them on Monday.

Thank you all. If this is common practice I don't mind. I guess I didn't run into this before since my checks were sen't to already established accouns with funds in them.

I'll do. I just want to understand the mechanism behind all this.

What I don't get here is where is the money during that hold? If my bank cleared the check the funds must be with the broker. So what is the point of holding funds for 12 days after they received them?

I'm using ReadyNAS NV from infrant. This is network attached raid array for up to 2T. You can get it diskless and grow as needed. It can fetch your data automatically from your shared folders over network. I got it just 2 days ago and happy so far (but I'm still testing it).

Well, my bank (Wells Fargo) has rules of it's own: I have to be present at the branch if someone calls for funds verification. Not very convinient. I'll do wire next time.

<i> -- MBT doesn't supply you with software???????</i> The software is very basic but they provide API which is great for automated trading. Or you can use 3rd party soft.

I just run into weird problem with MB Trading. I sent them a check to deposit into my new account and it was cleared few days later. The deposit still didn't show up in my account. I asked them what happens with my money AFTER the check is cleared. Here is the reply: "If funds...

As 1099 contractor you have to pay selfemployment tax which is social security (12.4% for up to $90,000 of self employment income) and medicare (2.9%). Plus regular Federal and California taxes. And you have to make quarterly payments. Just search the internet for more details. I'm in the same...

Has anyone successfully used QuantStudio or QuantDeveloper to build ATS? The software looks promising but examples and documentation are not mature enough to be able to figure out how robust it is. Please share your experience.

> This is what I was going to suggest. In fact I use these extenders with a matrix switch (by NTI too). It allows me to have access to up to 8 VGA sources (I have 3 computers, DISH network and DVD changer so far) from 4 monitors located in different rooms. All connected by CAT5. No video...

You can use CAT5 KVM extender: http://www.networktechinc.com/cat5.html I use few of these, work great!

Well, LKJ seems to be obvious but it contradicts to the phrase "Use the image..." So considering the image, the pattern I see is FJG.

It was not IB though. I transferred to Tradestation.

It took me a week. I also have another account with restricted stock which I was told I can't ACAT. They suggested either to wait untill the restriction lifts or to request paper stock certificate for the restricted stock. The latest supposed to take 2 weeks but in my case it is already 3 weeks...

Just don't accept any ActiveX crap from the internet and be careful installing unknown soft. My Win XP runs for weeks and sometimes months without problems. The only reason I reboot it is to install Windows security updates.

HSA is actually a bank account like IRA. You can deposit as much as your deductible. You have to be on a qualified high deductible plan to be able to open such account. http://www.msabank.com/bl_faq.asp I believe many insurance companies offer HSA compatible plans. If you are in California...
