Thanks guys ... I did consider backup/re-install and will probably end up doing that. Just out of curiosity, any of you ever hear of this virus? The security site suggests it's fairly low risk, but I'm still very leery of anything that could potentially be stealing passwords.

Is this a good solution? .. If so, my problem is I don't see any restore points that I can go back to; so is there a way to fabricate one in retrospect, or some other way to revert to a previous configuration? Further details: the virus is TROJ_AGENT.DQI infecting the system32.regscan file...

No problem. I try. :)

It worked at around 19:30 CDT. Not for +10, but about 7.00, which I believe is within the range of successful 10-rule hits.

You're about 16 hours late bro. My understanding is that the rule wasn't intended to predict price traversing the same 10 point range back and forth indefinitely. :)

My only advice would be trade on a simulator 'til you learn the ropes. Could save you a good deal of anguish and give you a chance to see how far your 'luck' can take you without causing harm to your bankroll. Best of luck in any case. :)

Thanks skellington and Businessman ... I will have to look into this a bit further.

Yeah, not sure we can really trust any of these firms to lay it all out there as to what their true exposure might be. That said, I'm debating whether to move some my funds from Citi over to IB, simply because Citi's been mentioned in a few of these "next shoe to drop" conversations...

No need to cop an attitude, guy. At this point I wouldn't put anything past any elected official. Obviously he's done, I just meant from a legal stance he's probably not looking at real jail time if merely a patron.

Possible he was just a client? ... not that big of a deal if so, I would think.

IMHO a partner is not your solution ... finding a profitable method that involves taking losses on a regular basis is. You need to take a hard look at your system and see if there is a stop loss strategy that could have been applied resulting in an overall profitable outcome. Without this...

You know someone on the board of Ambak? ;-)

O.T. I appreciate your post. As I said, fixed income is not at all my area of expertise, so a little schooling is not entirely unwelcome on my end. I should mention that at the time I opened my Citi acct, WaMu (among others) was offering a ridiculous 6%, which I promptly passed on for precisely...

(tried to attach 2 files but the first one didn't stick) ...

I'm certainly no expert, so ... what am I missing here? http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/insured/yid.pdf

I was using the term "almost" loosely. To be more precise, Citi's rate is 3.92% (4.0% yld) ... = 1.66 X IB's interest. This is what I'm currently earning at Citi. Yes, it is a money market, and as far as I know the interest I've been earning is 'real' money. Citi has fallen from 4.50 to 4.0...

Each of those pushes required a unique stop/target to keep you in the trade and also book a profit. So, how do you arrive ahead of time at which one to use?

Relax, I KNOW it's in line with the Fed Funds rate. I was just bringing it to people's attention for those who, like me, take things like that into consideration when making decisions about how to distribute their funds. Wheras IB used to be competitive with the better money market rates...

I don't hear a word he's saying. All it sounds like to me is "... blah, blah, blah .. ('keep my job') .... blah, blah, blah .. ('keep my job') .... "
