Keep this as simple and straightforward as possible: when you trade thru a prop, you generally have to put down 5k and the prop then allocates 10-20x that amt for buying power, or 50-100k of stock you can buy/sell. People do this to escape the pattern day trader rule for retail accounts...

Baron and Co. Thanks for having this board as a means for these hard working traders to communicate and share ideas with each other. However, like all good resources, especially where the membership is free, a pervasive disease has arisen whcich can seriously cripple a board's reputation and...

Rusty Nail? NB Rusty Nail? If so, ah my youth!

250 pips on euro means 1.40 ~ 1.3750. Who's your bank? Vinnie's House Of Pain? Never mind. just looked at exchange center and 250 pips is actually a good rate for money exchange center. http://www.nyforeignexchange.com/?gclid=CKnQhaqU144CFQolHgodVSpm8g Doh!

If the euros are cash, it's a problem as you would have to have it in bank to a) wire funds or b) send check. IB won't accept any 3rd party deposits. If you have Euro bank, yes, deposit euros and then convert to trade or withdraw Also rememeber with IB, if you convert amounts for less than...

And speaking of sophomoric, I present as evidence the previous few posts.

You'll kinda missing the point of posting the article (which he himself posted in a separate thread); Timmay got disinvited to a party he WANTED to attend. Wanted to go so much that he begged, nay cried, to the PTB to let him in. But they wouldn't budge. And then, he (his publicist) calls...

actually I think there is someone else using the handle now. There are definitely two different writing styles present, so unless he suddenly became a better author, I am inclined to think it is someone else. Not the first time we've had this here.

What you said has some merit but not for one important point you stress: even MM's can't guarantee a stop loss especially in a fast market, like Tues Fed announcement. When a market gaps, NO ONE will honor a stop that was in that range. Other than that, MM's are a good place to start for...

At which point TM's response would be "OK then, the girls can come. Not You"

PT Barnum lives.

Apparently he thought the mag was relevant.

Actually, the more I think about it, and being a NYer and knowing that the Post's Page 6 is a publicists wet dream, I wouldn't be surprised if it really isn't just a stunt because the book is supposed to be released in a few days. Cheaper, dollar hooker stunt. But can't ignore the 33% drop in...

Don't want to start a new thread for these morons, but... On Thurs "Fast Money" with DR, he's spouting that the Gulf States have 1.5 Trillion dollars in investment capital, that's 15,000 billion dollars!!!!!!! F'n morons!

Checked their webpage and for a page that has been up since 2005, there are alot of "coming soon" 's on it. And It looks like the page hasn't been touched in yrs. Also, key words on trader 4 hire page, "up to $100,000" also means any number below that, like a banned scumbag forex prop guy in...
