Also, Pieces of %$#@, please have the balls to use the TradeStation Message Center for what its primary purpose should be. To convey when the system is having technical problems - not to sell tickets to your conferences and "training". "Training"? @#% you guys!

BTW - You should consider trading the following amount of capital with their spot currency trading division: $00.00 USD.

TradeStation - WTF is up with you pieces of %$#@. In the last 2 trading weeks you have had 2 full on US equity data outages and now a spot currency data outage. For all you rocket quants that still work at that firm, that is 3 major outages in 3 weeks. INSTEAD OF ADDING YOUR...

My point is that it does not matter if the decision making process is discretionary, automated, or a combination. An executed trade is accounted for...

EX: let's say you are sharp on stock XYZ. It is much more difficult to make money if you have someone else with 10x buying power piggy-backing off your entries/exits. I see a degree of collaboration at times in certain stocks - seems like a double edge sword as liquidity at key prices is...

This thread is intended to discuss possible conflict of interest and risk derived from prop firm staff and/or other traders in a prop firm having access to your position, trading strategies/tactics, etc.

Maverick74, thx for the update. I can go outside tomorrow because the sky is not falling! BTW, SEC and CFTC should merge and start watching real issues like the CDS market and black box muni bond underwriting...

In all seriousness, you are joking right? How stupid do you think traders are? Ok - Why does the entire bid/offer move off of one limit or market that is executed. And I am not talking about when the market is moving around at all. And please tell me the entire bid/offer moves for all...

I know exactly what you and they are talking about. I, however, don't assign a different definition of Market Maker to spot forex. The mission is the same: "@#$% those guys" (ie customers). They are all out to know the market players' positions and take advantage. The world is not that big -...

A Market Maker does not have to take the other side of every order to be considered a Market Maker - look at stocks, options, futures, etc. I have TMBR on my execution reports frequently - that is why I posted until they changed their intitial denial to acknowledgement. Timber Hill, LLC is...

IB is a market maker in spot currencies as well as most markets via Timber Hill, LLC - they are the same organization. Review the thread "IB New Forex Spreads" for their acknowledgement of that...

So that's it? We have now reached the universal equilibirum point in discussion on this? (Yes I acknowledge I have absoluteley nothing to add at this time either). Interesting to see a @#%load of fury of doom reported by some and then, poof, nothing...

Prime Brokers make a killing on servicing hedge funds. And they provide a great foundation in vital aspects if a fund is not able to provide that for themselves.

So to clarify, would the following be affected or not under the supposed changes? - LLC operating as a a Reg T account holder with a firm, 4:1 BP max. - LLC has partners that maintain a contribution in the partnership - Partners are allocated a large percentage of profits (80-100%)...

BTW, Interesting again, Bloomberg reporting potential insider trading via CDS (clear to everyone that it is) off two recent monster deals in the billions - Harrah's Entertainment and HCA. ISDA is the self-regulating body, but SEC just sits there and does nothing to regulate or oversee one of...

I am thinking of calling the NASD/SEC directly and asking. It is not like I would be dislosing anything that they do not know already by my inquiries. Any thoughts?

Sorry to the they that owned the EURUSD 1.2600-1.2850 DNTs due to expire today --> close but not quite. Don't spend your $0.00 USD all in one place. Sorry to other vol sellers at EURUSD lifetime lows. Especially if you are central banks. GFY to the nth degree... But you could have been...

I would also convey that you are recording the call and do so. Even if you are not recording it, you should state this. Tell them that you "hope that they are doing the right thing according to regulations and policies"... and I agree, trigger finger on escalation. With the amount of...

On IDEALPro FX you can trade any amount over the minimum, period. So you can send an order in EURUSD for EUR 25,001 if you want. Their MMs should accept the balance of orders submitted that are over the minimum and then partially fill. Having any remnant under the minimum go unfilled is...
