Work on new ideas or if you're really bored get a day job and come in a couple of hours late everyday

Good to know that...I never traded with Merrill so I don't know, but while negotiating with a firm that trades through Merrill, I was told that Merrill will cover losses incurred if their Tradespeed platform goes down...I was actually surprised when he said that, because I'd never heard of that...

Yes you can

Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing...for those wondering what Reg NMS is and why NYSE firms might want to circumvent it, this article might shed some light... http://i.cmpnet.com/financetech/download/REG_NMS_Gatefold.pdf

That's interesting, HoundDogOne, please explain further as to how the NYSE can do that...

Just out of curiosity, what changes that you see have made you not want to go the prop equity firm route?

Yes HoundDogOne, I've learned a lot about electronics rebates by asking a totally unrelated question, which is great, because i had no idea about this apparently hotly debated rebates issue... My first post started off like this: "A number of prop firms are accused of not paying their...

Although I don't know anything about Questrade and am not confirming or denying your opinion of them, i would not depend on number of feedbacks in the review section of this website as a measure of how good or bad a firm is, since they can be easily manipulated through use of multiple aliases to...

Viewing it in a Darwinian way, why would you cut off the commissions income stream to steal the deposit? It's a bit like slaughtering the hen that's laying you all those golden eggs, why would you do it?

When you put up a deposit at a prop firm, are you "loaning someone money" (someone who is a nobody to you, like an acquaintance) or is it like depositing your money with a bank or retail brokerage (an institution)? Is it somewhere in between? I guess it depends on which prop firm you're dealing...

Which part of my post are you referring to exactly when you say "not the case"? Also if you have any links or experiences to confirm, please post them... I finally found a link to confirm that INET hidden orders lose priority to INET displayed orders, here it is: "IF THE ORDER IS CONVERTED...

For NASDAQ stocks, based on my experience, although EDGX offers a higher rebate for adding liquidity (0.0025), placing non-marketable limit orders on EDGX is not advantageous because you will generally get filled after INET and ARCA. On the other hand, as has been recommended by respected...
