airspeed, simply ask permission for the posting, I'm sure that they are aware of the frustration of these complicated legal contracts with the wooden handcuffs (they certainly aren't golden, unless you have all the other features of the professional firms, and making hundreds/thousands in...

so Gene, initial capital contribution, must age for 12 months, however, any and all future additional capital contributions having to age their own respective 12 months seems beyond reasonable. I'm with Onsite, regrettably, and not with Bright. I was quite jealous of your firm, Bright...

why does it matter?, and how do those 2 choices differ? also, why not consider the dual-Athlon or the 2Ghz P-IV? from what I've heard, having a fast machine processes the responses from the Internet conection and forces the software (direct access software, charting software, email, web...

Professional firms which require licensing and provide 10:1 margin should also offer various trading features to achieve elusive success, like bullets, conversions, 25:1 margin/100:1 margin, high share trading volumes and most importantly low fees. Pseudo professional firms require licensing...

they are forthright... by telling you upfront, instead of requiring you to see the small print and prefortell the conditions which are hidden in that small print, you know what is required of you, and what you can expect from them. the professional and public firm that I'm with holds your...

you(S) guys saved me a lot of delusion with the notion that if I just get Starband 2way Sat/Internet, things will go better...... POTS has worked, continues to work, and will work even during diasters, heavy snow/rain/wind storms and the like. anyone have an address for this multilink service?

sniper - thanks! there is a difference and other means to express sympathy, sympathetic association and feelings and identify with those who are suffering, and essentially all the actions that we are calling patriotic fervor. simply put, we are all humans, and we are all hurting, however...

yeah stock-opt... bicycle, hike, brisk walks, pick-up game in the park, short jog, whatever works... rtharp - cool beach on, I presume, West Coast... shee'sh, I'm jealous

rarely do I ever call one's postulations irrational, except in this thread/case. we already have highly decentralized markets. many trades are "done away" and simply reported on the tape for crossing means and not matching means. we already have highly decentralized trading, as many of us...

Mon, Sept 17 was horrible, as usual in dealing with Onsite and their chornically undependable systems. Although they use SLK's Redi+, as well as other systems, their executions continue to be the worst, and plagued with delays in cancellations as well as extremely bad fills. Just imagine...

I posted this reply to an associate, who sent me email from the Taipan Group, whom were forecasting Monday's outcome, on Thursday, last week. I was so incensed that I replied: If you're paying attention, then, this Taipan Group is speaking only from their own lack of knowledge in the...

judging by the recent replies, clearly firms like Bright and Echo are not for TraderX, or for those who don't see the outstanding opportunity they offer. I would be loathe to be associated with a firm that was "not for profit" and existed in the "trading business". How would such a firm...

I found Bright Trading to be more than forthright and up front in their books, their records, their recounting of their trader's profits for the current year to-date and previous year. And, get this, they actually had their K1's issued and in the hands of their traders by mid January 2001 for...

You never know when you will need a hand. Today's competitors are tomorrows partners, especially when the overall bigger picture of the "industry" vs. "the company" is looked at. Simply put, its far better that there be a negotiated truce or resolution to one's firm than allowing the...

they say, everyday we spend above is 100% successful, instead of being below or flat on the day. funny how life, trading and similar terminology equivocate in meaning. being 100% successful in trading is what we all are when we look back or when we're dreaming, but certainly not when we're...

excellent commentary, I thought this thread died, long time ago. Yes, they did package all the accounts and shift over to AB Watley. Who really knows why?, however, its far better than letting it fall apart and actually expecting the SIPC safety net to kick in. I don't think that catch net...

High leverage... there are some essentials to remember when firing the big guns for the first few rounds... first forget that you have the leverage, and treat the money (full leveraged amount) as if you actually had that amount on account, or half that amount (using RegT 2:1 public customer...

Gene -- love your commentaries. Could you simply "keep typing" without concern for the "text box". Evidently you hit the return key every time you get towards the end of the text box, which makes for short paragraphs and long scrolling messages. Excellent arguement for trading with your...

their class (something to the title of) Advanced Trading Tactics of the Pros, cost $3,000. The class was beyond excellent, informative, hard to get scheduled and well worth the lessons and issues raised. It seems that getting qualified training in this business goes against the grain of...

andrasm --- please "preview reply" before submission. 1) correct mis-spells 2) slow down, whatever anyone has to say is not that "time urgent" that one can't properly SPELL OUT one's words correctly, so that your intent is conveyed 3) explain "terms" in parenthesis, don't assume that we all...
