First of all, you lose all credibility if you even suggest that a financial transaction tax will pass in the US. And if it did, aren't you bright enough to know that people trading from offshore would be subject to it as well on US transactions, even if not through a US BD. But no, I know...

From what I heard, Dimension is done or almost done and now a sub of WTS. If you are talking asking about the international Dimension / WTS, I have no knowledge or opinion. If you are asking about the US WTS BD, they are a registered CBSX broker dealer (which is good) with a ton of...

I'm ready. But I don't think a Belize broker dealer can avoid US laws or Canadian laws if they are located in the US or Canada. See other story about non-US entities being taken advantage of and the SEC getting involved. It skips FINRA or the CBOE and goes right to the SEC b/c these firms...

I know exactly what I am talking about. That is what you don't like. I didn't say the sky is falling. It isn't unless you're wrapped up in this, Tuco, or Team Trading... Or the next one I just say / said to choose a registered company and ask a lot of questions even to them. WHAT IS...

What international broker dealers? I haven't heard of active traders working for Banco Santandar or BNP etc. The controversial companies in this case are not broker dealers. The releases specifically say Mercury and the Alchemy where the trader traded were not registered BDs. And...

Not according to their website. http://www.tmglobalcapital.com/faq/ 6. Is TM Global Capital a Brokerage firm? No. TM Global Capital is a private corporation formed to manage and trade its own brokerage accounts. We are a proprietary trading firm only. We do not accept customer or retail...

Kevin, included in the SEC's lawsuits (posted on SEC.gov), among the other charges, all of these companies are accused of acting as unregistered broker dealers. There are diagrams, details of deals with traders etc. Its pretty clear these guys were just trying not to be registered but they...

Claims to be an Isreali company. Has a 514 area code phone # (Montreal). Has a 917 area code fax # (New York City). Admits it isn't a registered BD but requires capital contributions. (All in the FAQ.) Initial gut would be to stay very far away, especially since there are many better...

Here is the Canadian aspect. http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2012/34-66248.pdf See # 6 http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2012/34-66249.pdf See # 20 (screenshot attached) edit: Sorry I can't get the screenshot to post so you'll have to click on the link.

You are right about the IT and potential of the online brokers being victims when it comes to the actual registered broker dealers where the hacker stole the account info. No doubt, the clients of those firms will be returned their capital. I posted in the 'prop firm' section since I think...

Most idiotic and inaccurate reply to date. 1) First of all, Mercury Trading is a Canadian firm. I don't know about the rest. Read the SEC press releases and cases against them. 2) And I guess I manipulated the Wall Street Journal article headline? You credibility is kind of shot if you...

I posted a news story on another thread. 4 unregistered BDs just got busted by the SEC. Literally yesterday. I wouldn't send one penny to them, and I'd withdraw your $$ now. Registered bds may be a different story, but you'd better do your due diligence there too.

SEC Files Charges in Hacking Case Commission Says 4 Firms Unwittingly Helped Latvian Trader Gain Access to Brokerage Accounts By JEAN EAGLESHAM And ANDREW ACKERMAN U.S. securities regulators stepped up their battle against hackers Thursday, filing civil charges against four firms that...

Can someone find Broad Street's balance sheet online on SEC.gov. I tried various versions of the name. BSTG, used ST instead of Street, tried one word name, two word name. I can't find it at all. If it isn't on there, it isn't a bd. They hold themselves out as a BD, so it would be pretty...

Uhhh, I was quoting YOU saying they trained on BAC. Last year or so I looked BAC was under 10 bucks. I know what Scalping is, and maybe you do or not. What WTS teaches is rebate trading, and you may as well save your money instead of trying that punishing and futile exercise. By the way...

So by 'scalping' do you mean trading stocks under 10 bucks? You guys realize that strategy won't get 99.9% of you making money above the poverty line? And even if you have a good month because Ford is in play (until it reverse splits), then wake up because the strategy and your earnings aren't...

Thank you. I am just trying to point out obvious questions which should be asked. I am not sure why some people get so pissed and keep saying go away go away. Everyone should look at public info themselves. The SEC's website offers balance sheets and other information from all registered...

For newbies who don't care about their $5,000 or $1,500, ok. But for any real trader, your monthly paycheck is at risk. And you risk downtime if the firm goes down. Regardless, with about 2 hours of effort, there are several resources to try. 1) Kick the pavement, check out their home...

It says on the top of the article Cap Traders Group contributed the article themselves. Face it, its an advertisement, not an article. Again, everything the guy mentions in the article but extra BP is available to both retail and prop. You seem to know about these guys. Are they a...

Of course i have a problem with them. No one answers the important questions. 1) How do they have international traders if they are a CBSX broker dealer which I was told does not permit them? 2) The question which will shut me up permanently I can not get an answer to is how much of...
