I wish you also posted the paragraph directly following because it's actually the point I'm arguing about. "It may be difficult for the SEC to prove whether or not a person is a tippee. The route of insider information and its influence over people's trading is not so easy to track. Take for...

- That information wasn't accidentally obtained. Those two had a good rappport so it could be established that some sort of quid pro quo relationship existed. - If you followed the case closely, she was convicted and went to jail for lying about it (obstruction) rather than the trade itself.

Dude read this part and I get a different interpretation from yours: "Insider trading is generally defined as purchasing or selling securities while in the possession of material, non-public information in violation of a duty not to trade." This part is crucial: "in violation of a duty not...

Please link it for me because I think CFA Institute's ethics committee has a little explaining to do if that's the case. :D

I haven't really followed Marketsurfer's calls but in this particular instance, his trade could have turned out to be great - it's just that shorting YM over other indices like ES turned sour mostly because of 1 stock. Hope we realize any of us can be the "weak hand" at any moment -...

This saga is going to be very interesting. Unless they were directly involved in the takeover, it's going to be very difficult to prove the information was misappropriated (this may surprise many, but the insider trading rule doesn't apply if, for instance, the people involved overheard a...

SSEC is truly a sight to behold, I suppose kinda like Nasdaq circa late 90s, Nikkei circa late 80s? "The light that burns twice as bright burns for half as long and you have burned so very, very brightly Roy." - Blade Runner :D

Going back to the OP's topic. . . - Raise your stakes higher, preferrably above 50k. While 25k can be a decent amount in your trading account (esp. if you trade futures as supposed to stocks; imo in order to make some serious dough (i.e. six fig.) as a stock trader you'll need about 100k...

Once you go Bloomberg, you never look back and you forget all about the shenanigans on CNBC :D.

Oh geez, hope you took that loss on your own volition and design and not due to some incessant prodding you took on this board. :( On another note, it seems to be "Rolling-over" time.

Learn to search previous posts first, my grasshopper .:p I alone wrote brief synopsis about my experience with lightspeed twice in the past year. Lightspeed is as good as it can get for stock scalpers and those into earnings plays (but gosh, couldn't stand its ugly layouts). If you can't...

"UBS", just another onomatopoeia for "oops!".

Sure, sure, it was absolutely my fault to not have gone through every single one of your pompous messages about how great you are at trading with your CPA and money managing experience to realize that you have perfectly compartmentalized certain types of trades and therefore you are pure genious...

Is this including or excluding the 27 point loss on the 20 lot you took on ES? How about the 50 lot reversal revenge trade, (which went well, thank goodness for you) is that included? I'm quite curious. How can you find Oscar's 10 point stop losses ridiculous when you have quite wild stop...

Go to Configure -> Feature Selector (instead of Global) --> click on Real Time Monitoring --> click on P&L Columns --> P&L Column If that doesn't help, then good luck!:p

lol Sam, how are ya doin'? :D Where did you guys move to since Simon and Danny parted ways with Swift?

Used it about 2 years ago. Decent, reliable w/ no serious outages, but I wasn't too fond of its visuals or the broker (if you use it, then you know whom). Regards,

Ahem, I suppose the service isn't too widely used among IB users? :confused:

Could people who have used the service rate its reliability and speed, especially regarding the economic news? Thanks in advance.

Price Is Right? :)
