Companies would often use a "filter" that block "inappropriate" Web-sites. If a Web-site occurs that is not white-listed or black-listed, they would send it to the filter developer for classification. In either case, checking cash balance with a stock broker or bets with a betting web-site is...

For your order you have the size, the price and the execution time. Ask the broker on which exchange the order was executed. Many exchanges make trade records public. So, check if at this particular time you find an execution matching you size and price. If the execution is found, a) check...

From your description I am not sure what exactly happened, but 1) If you got executed at a price that is far from the market price you can probabbly trace your order to the exchange and see what heppened. In this case it's probabbly the broker error and you can claim full compensation; 2)...

Any LCD monitor has a backlight. It works on the same principle as movie projector. There is white light; and the film contains colours of different brightness or totally blocks the light to produce shades of black. In an LCD monitor backlight is the source of light and liquid cristall filters...

WHich other countries, in your view, qualify as "welfare state"? Germany pays "vodka money" to people with alcohol dependency, UK pays benefits to "work shy"...

A broker may also go to trouble to borrow stocks from other brokers. Such borrowing is usually a 1-day rolling contract. So, each party can terminate it any time they want. So, if other clients of the broker close their long positions or the party the broker was borrowing from stops lending...

When market volatility increases (like on May 6) IB dramatically raises margins. With good capitalisation like yours it isn't an issue - just something to be aware of. Also give a try to TWS demo. Some prefer 3rd party order entry software.

There are plenty of forum members who trade forex... and a couple of moderately active threads on EUR/USD... mizhael, maybe you'd like to start a journal to liven things up?

Apparently, public servants there are paid extremely well, receive two bonuses a year, are paid extra allowances for using a computer, for speaking a foreign language and even (hold your breadth) for coming to work on time. They enjoy attractive pensions, and on the demise of a pensioner it...

I understand set-up is when you can explain (and put into a pegeon hole) why you enter a trade. It can be "on a pullback of a trend" or "after the price hit the revious low but didn't fall through". There may be setups that you can't describe. So, you may think there is no setup. First come...

4 months is way too long to start warrying about (presumably substantial) sum of money. You will want to talk to a lawyer at some point. If the "prop" is in a different country, it complicates things... but you can always enquire with a regulator: Are they regulated? If yes, can you file a...

xiantian, your post sounds like an ad. No disguise
