    Does anyone feel like this economy is full of expendable jobs?

    Yes. As a European living in the USA it scares me how many people are just wasting hours and think they have a hard time at work. It's because the USA is cheap that this still can go on. Europe is expensive and is much more optimized because of this. For a job to be done in Europe it's...

    Different IB accounts, different deltas ?!?

    I have never seen a delta at IB that matched any other software package. We need to use IB as a broker to place orders, nothing more.

    90% of all orders on the ES E-mini book are not executed. You are wasting your time. Big orders of 1000's of contracts are been cut up in 1 and 2, 3 lots, automated, combined with market and limit orders. Maybe in 1995, but welcome in 2013.

    Safe Investment?

    Organic food is allowed to use around 50 pesticides. They are less strong, but still strong enough. Enough to kill the bugs. There is no food possible for commercialisation without pesticides.

    Holy Cow! Velocity commisions just became a joke!

    Velocity is a broker who is barely making any money. They suffer from volume drop and lost a few really big traders. Wouldn't be surprised to see them gone / taken over in 6 months. DDT, deepdiscounttrading.com is much better for small retail traders.
