sam123, whoa that looks easy! thanks. while i have your attention, do you mind explaining in plain english what "property get" and "enumerations" do for you? why not just use simple variables and constants? i have tried googling but the explanations seem to always be kind of theoretical...

That's the thing. The code in the sample is mixed up with so much other code that i don't know which ones i need and don't need. i'm not really asking for an explanation of code i already have. lets just say you're starting clean. you have a new form and a textbox. you want the textbox to...

if you're talking about the downloadable sample i have looked at it. this is the one i don't understand. can you please give some code that only deals with what i'm talking about or pseudo code or the logic of the connection?

I am having some trouble understanding the code in the sample application. Say I am starting a new form and I have one textbox on the form. How do I connect the textbox so that it grabs the last price. I think after I see this example by itself I will understand. Can someone help? Thanks.

interesting insight into the engineering field. strange how in the business world, managers do not face the threat of becoming obsolete even though they rarely know how to do the tasks that the're managing. instead they become even more entrenched by playing politics and surrounding...

how are self clearing firms more of a risk? can you please explain with examples? thanks.

so why can't an advisor pool client money together like a mutual fund? why can't the broker make this happen? we have established that there is nothing wrong with pooling funds. it's only fair to all investors that funds are pooled.

The math is exactly how a mutual fund or hedge fund works. You put your money into the fund, you get your proportional share, and the value of your share rises and falls with the fund. There is nothing unethical or illegal with what you described. The 4 new investors have put their money...

in the example i gave, investor 2 suffers. it can easily be the case where investor 2 gains but investor 1 suffers instead. suppose investor 1 is fully invested when investor 2 joins. i can then only buy securities for investor 2. at the end of the month, investor 2 has a gain while investor...

okay you are not selling shares. that doesn't mean it's not possible to pool the funds according to proportional interest. you can set up the account agreement so that each client owns his or her proportional interest. for example, the existing pool has $100K of securities with 1 client...

why is there more potential for abuse in advisors accounts than in mutual funds, CPOs, or hedge funds? nice site btw

Why is pooling funds such a bad thing? I have shown why keeping funds separate creates problems. In the example I gave, account 1 has a positive return while account 2 stays flat. That is a fairly harmless case. How about a case where account 1 has a positive return but account 2 has a...

When you invest in a mutual fund, aren't you getting exactly what I'm describing? Everyone is set equal. When you invest, you are automatically set equal to others and your shares get you proportional ownership of the fund. To answer your question, it will be a little different because...

I don't want to put on trades just because there's more cash injected. I only want to add positions if my criteria is met. If I simply add more of the same, my entry is off. Also, in terms of trade execution, there is just no way of getting both accounts to have the same returns if I simply...

I need an advisor account where total capital from all sub-accounts are pooled together instead of segregated. Each sub-account gets a pro-rata share of the cash and securities held in the pool. Below is the problem I am having when capital from each sub-account is segregated. Say at the...
