And what is your RATIONALE for this??? :confused:

This discussion just shows how ridiculously complicated our tax system is. How about doing away with it altogether, and implementing a flat income tax (10% perhaps?) and / or a consumption-based tax (e.g. VAT). :confused:

Has any CTA tried Interactive Brokers? What are your experiences?

Hi, I'm interested in setting up my laptop computer with a multi-monitor system (two additional monitors would be nice, for a total of three). I checked with Appian (from which I have a quad video card for my desktop), but they do not make a card for laptops anymore; searched the web...

Can this Book Trader somehow be integrated with Bracket Trader? Or perhaps Bracket Trader or another front-end platform has a similar function?

Does anyone have any knowledge / experience in comparing E-Signal's Market Scanner with HotScans / MarketGauge ??? They seem to have similar functions, but how do they perform in real-life / real-time trading? http://www.esignal.com/scanner/default.asp http://inb.dataviewllc.com/...

Hi Volker, perhaps you could design a program for Wealth Lab that has essentially the same function as Trade Guider!? :)

Does anyone know of other service providers that do not rack up your minutes when using your cell phone as a modem??? Thanks. :)

Hi Hanseng, one alternative to WiFi would be to use a cell phone as a modem. This is possible by using a cable ($30) and software ($30), which can be purchased from FutureDial: http://www.futuredial.com/products/P_SD.htm The software supports multiple providers ("Sprint PCS, Verizon...

Hi, I just wanted to announce that we started a traders' group in Marin County, California (just north of the Golden Gate Bridge). We have a Yahoo Group Page (which is currently our web page); the web address is: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/MarinActiveTraders/ If you would...

Trading volume (on an annual basis) is probably a good indicator for when to take a vacation. Volume seems to drop most in the summer (i.e. July and August) ... that would probably be the best time to take a vacation. Volume presumably drops during that time because most of the traders are...

The cost to start a "Hedge Fund" can be very low. For example, one can start an LLC or LP for less than $1,000. One can then run a "Friends and Family" account at Interactive Broker at very low commission cost. This does not require any registration / licensure with the NFA / CFTC / SEC, as...

Are there any traders in Marin and Sonoma Counties, Northern California? Perhaps we could start a club, similar to Orange County Daytraders, with monthly meetings, etc. We could call ourselves "NOBAT" (NOrth Bay Active Traders). We could share trading ideas, have seminars, have an...

Hello, are there any traders out there interested in joining a small traders' community / office in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. I would be interested in sharing my house with other traders. Currently, there are 2 rooms available (a third room might become...

The October issue of Active Trader magazine (page 20) has a blurb in their New Products section that Wealth-Lab version 3.0 can now be used as an order execution platform using compatible brokers (currently only Interactive Brokers is supported, other brokers to be added in the future). Has...

Because I wanted to be able to trade (and use my laptop on the road in general), I switched to Sprint PCS (from Verizon), bought a Sanyo 8100 phone ($100 with a one year contract), and FutureDials SnapDialer and cable (about $80). I'm clocking in at 115 kbs, which is a lot faster than a dial up...

Just curious, I often see RVs with satellite dishes (presumably for video signals). I'm wondering if there are any traders out there who trade while on the road in an RV / trailer, etc. via satellite dish? :)
