I can't believe it took 12 pages of replies for someone to correct him on this. I noticed he replied to you and tried to argue that he was correct because of his age or some such shit. Yes, your age makes your improper English suddenly acceptable and correct. This a/an before history or any...

Thanks for the reassurance. I know it is. If I were wrong I'd have a few locked accounts right now.

Despite your belief, and misinformation, you are wrong. So is nlslax who posted after this. I'm not speaking from my ass on this, I'm in a cash account and don't get labelled PDT and don't have a 25k requirement. The majority of brokers follow the rule how it was written, not how some...

No you don't.

So long as he stays in cash and keeps margin off he'll be fine. Judging from his pretend trades he has no real use for margin.

I'm just curious why you bought a RIMM call and an AAPL put. The news that is expected tomorrow should affect entire sectors generally the same (maybe except banks). I don't see how Geithner/Senate news tomorrow could cause apple to go one way and rimm the other... I guess in a way you could...

This is incorrect. The part where you said "can only trade in margin accounts" is wrong. If you're labelled a PDT you must have over 25k to keep a margin account. If you do not raise your funds up to 25k most places will change your account over to cash only, some will actually lock it fully...

My theories turned out to be quite accurate as I found out today. Everything between the smiley faces is how, and isn't a secret if you just ask them.

So Zecco CEO is currently posting to his forums to answer questions people have about them changing the requirement of $2500 for free trades to $25000 for free trades. In one he posted a "glimpse" of the new interface/platform they are working on: Does this look familiar? Anyways. That's...

I wondered how they could do the prices they do for a while. I came up with a few theories but in the end don't care really so long as my orders execute as I expect them to. As far as my theories go? .. Maybe they do the math on their side and the amount of people who execute 1 or 2 contract...

Speaking of Zecco .. haha .. I think they're about to have a mass exodus. They just nixed the 10 free trades for anyone with an account value under $25,000. Minimum used to be $2,500.. My bet is people will go to TK or if they really want low commissions they'll end up at EOption if they can...

Yah. I went and added something to my watchlist after you said that and sure enough it doubled up in there. Strange. The only sections I use on the place are the account and options tabs. Occasionally the hotlist and indexes but never seen the place screw up. Anyways, good luck to you either way.

Just curious what web browser you use cause I've never had problems with the website. .. I've also never added anything to my watch list so I'll have to try it and see what happens. (FF 3.0.* here)

I can't speak from personal experience, but no you don't. It says it right in the FAQ, Trading subsection, number 13. An account is considered a Pattern Day Trading Account if it has more than three Day Trades in five business days. Industry regulations require that pattern Day Traders...

Yah and I don't trade spreads but they now do 14.95 per spread up to 4 legs. One way I figured they could be saving money is if they're using some of Peak6's network capabilities. Piggy backing on their internet uplinks etc. If Peak6 had enough unused bandwidth that was being paid for already...

Yah I got an advert about the road show in Palm Beach. Going to try and make it to that one on Tuesday or whatever day the paper says just out of curiosity and because I have s--t else to do. I've never used TOS and at most seen a couple screen caps from people but safe to say no it isn't as...

Strange, I've never had any issue like that but I'd guess if the records do show 5 executions of the same trade in a short amount of time they would realize it wasn't something you did intentionally. .. Not even sure you could do that on purpose that quick.. guess it depends on how long a few...

I use OH and have for almost 3 months now. The flat commission is great and I like the interface. It's my favorite interface of any broker I've used. Simple and to the point. They have a few tools but I've never used them, don't need them. My only wish is that you could route orders to specific...

Anyone else read "unions" as unicorns and still think it made sense?

Actually it's like 2300 a person, using his choice of numbers. (EDIT) Wow. He deleted his original post, too bad I didn't quote .. ohh.. wait..
