This is exactly what I pictured myself doing when I decided to become a trader! From the article: "And in one recruiting Web video (no longer online), an Optiver trader sitting before four giant trading screens is seen ogling two skimpily clad women as they sit on his thighs."

Defazio's bill states .25%, the newest number is .01%, and even Dean Baker mentioned yesterday that futures would have to be more around .001% (one hundredth of a percent -- still a lot for futures) -- just an FYI

Thanks for the info, seasideheights. Would you happen to know a list of the countries that have tried this tax and repealed it? I know India is on the verge of repealing theirs, and I think someone mentioned Switzerland repealed something like this. I can't seem to find any good info on the...

you can't go wrong with either, but like this guy said, RCG has real time info if you need it -- with Dorman, you won't see updated account balance, trade info, etc, until about 8 or 9 pm pst.

yes, they do, and leverage and commissions are considerations . . . big difference between 1 6E contract and 1 mini lot, for example

As mentioned before, T4 mobile is one option for futures trading on an iphone. Dorman offers it. It basically just looks like a DOM with about 7 price levels, no chart. Couldn't fathom trading futures with this, unless your main system/connection went down and you could somehow close out a...

Hey, has anyone used Amp Forex with Ninjatrader? If so, please let us know how it is. Thnx.

For you guys with two internet connections, do you have a dual wan router, or do you switch over manually? Also, if you have cable internet and DSL, which one is your primary connection? I have both and these days am leaning toward DSL as my primary since it seems more stable.

Not looking at the daily economic events calendar should probably be on the list.

I can second Tony as being a good rep. The guy always gets back to me immediately and has been generally very helpful. And to answer the OP's original question, yes, you should just be able to ask for a different rep (you'd probably want to ask Pat).

Is anyone else having problems connecting to Zen-fire right now?

Just curious what book you're referring to. Thanks.

if you need a cheap laptop, you can buy a Lenovo Y530 right now for under 600 bucks -- comes with Core Duo chip, 3gb ram, 16" screen, etc. -- great deal

It's hard to interpret what the co-sponsor count really means. Some people, including DeFazio, have managed to get bills passed with zero co-sponsors, while others get tons of co-sponsors with no success.

Conyers goes into more detail on his website: "One quarter of one percent stock transaction tax". The good news is that Obama has made it very clear that single-payer is off the table for him: http://change.gov/agenda/health_care_agenda/ The better news (IMO) is the fact that GS and others...

I'm with Mirus/Dorman, and they've been great, although I definitely don't appreciate Dorman's lack of real-time access when logging into your account. Can someone confirm that RCG has real-time posting of trades, balance, etc. on their website? Also, has anyone switched from Dorman to RCG...

Not great that a relatively well known guy like Dean Baker is now pushing this tax, but good that this tax wasn't hinted at in the new G20 plan today. Here's a new article arguing for this tax in Forex markets: http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/96916 "The proposed rate of...

It almost certainly will be. DeFasio has no pull, and this bill isn't exactly teeming with co-sponsors. IMO, people should be focusing more on HR 676, which has a SLIGHTLY better chance of passing since it's a health care bill in a year when health care is high on the president's agenda. Yes...

I was just looking at the two previous iterations of HR 676, and they both contain the transaction tax (see section 211). Luckily, neither made it out of committee, so there's no reason to think the newest one will either. Here are the links to the previous two...

they're not DOA until this site shows that they are: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1068 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-676
