Umm... Something is off. If what you say is true then they broke a pretty well known rule regarding the handling of customer orders.

To be clear 0.20 cents per 1000 is basically clearing costs and it is available via many firms - usually with a profit split and large monthly volume requirements. Do note you'll be paying other fees which can really add up - SEC, NSCC etc

I think Hold Brothers accepts both, not 100% sure though.

Exactly... I trade with a firm that does.

Your statement implies that one doesn't get a K-1 with a CBSX firm? That doesn't sound right.... In any case I think it would be wise for Echo to start taking S56 traders. I'm surprised they haven't done so...

Lots of these guys sit on the bid/ask with size using specialized routes. Its a form of rebate trading using a route that allows fill priority.

Totally agree w/CVS. Why am I paying the same rate for health coverage as some guy who eats crap, doesn't exercise and is significantly overweight when I am very fit and take good care of myself? I'm basically subsidizing his health care costs. There is something wrong with this model and I...

Could it be self-selecting bias? Those with higher than normal incomes are more likely to report it to a survey like this whereas those in the lower brackets are not? I'd also be curious about how these numbers are confirmed... one cannot exactly call an employer to find out what someone...

I'm married to an attorney (she used to practice real estate law) and I can give you some advice based on issues we've encountered in our area; note all states/counties are different in the way a nuisance is handled. First, make notes of what is happening - writing it here is actually a good...

Ok, thanks. So I'm buying a call spread and then selling a higher call spread. My gains are capped and I'm not sure how this trade takes advantage of dropping vol? How can I alter this trade to take better advantage of the dropping vol, and, take on more risk? I am willing to own the...

Hello, I'm looking to take a straight equities trade and trade it using options. Here are some of the details of the equities trade and what I'd like to accomplish with the option trade: 1. The equity trade buys when vol is up, I want the options trade to be short vol. 2. The equity...

Actually, I posted my track record from IB on this site a few years back... so, I can back up my stats. Come to think of it, if you're so inclined; let's talk about track records... please point me to a managed futures fund that has over 10mil in assets with risk to reward metrics of greater...

The more I think about this scenario, the more I see the potential for TST. Its clever. From a business model standpoint, the $160 per month fee for the *opportunity* to trade on a sim is quite a lucrative income for TST. It's a revenue stream wherein they can screen out good traders based on...

I think this study is a result of incorrect inference. As a result of the foods involved, it is hard to get the same number of calories from a veggie diet when compared to a meat based diet. An 8 oz steak is roughly 400 calories - its essentially a small, dense, calorie delivery device. One...

LOL Holy shit that's funny :)

If you understood how your desktop operates, then you'd understand why your cell phone affects it. It's a trivial effect based the operating frequencies of the components in both devices. It is simple electromagnetic interference. Really now... the sun doesn't effect your PC...

This idea that cell phone radiation is harmful is the biggest load of crap. Read this very carefully so you and others stop propagating these uniformed opinions (I'm an electrical enigneer BTW and have studied electromagnetic radiation extensively): The spectrum and intensity of radiation...

What's your experience level? FPGA design takes some pretty serious education and experience to get started, specifically you have to understand the nitty gritty of hardware/software interaction. You also have to understand the embedded nature of S/W program execution as well as the basic &...

I've developed a ton of stuff in both. Altera is my current choice; the tool set is a huge plus. Never upgrade development environments unless necessary. And dear god, never ever let a software engineer design HDL, or architect a FPGA solution, in either A or X. Its not software !!!

http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/whole-foods-ceo-why-pay-employees-more-131203168.html I thought this was an interesting article for several reasons, mainly due to the opposing political belief systems that seem to be working, dare I say it, together. Whole foods, by many...
