Why do you think IB's Market Making algorithms are ultra-sophisticated... But their retail risk management algorithms are primitive? They use much of the same code across the board. For example... When I get a liquidation warning... The IB algorithm is clearly looking for action on my...

Not true, this is your invention... IB does it in a MUCH more sophisticated manner... There are probably the world's largest Market Maker in illiquid options... And, therefore, also futures. Your Portfolio, on the other hand... Is very simplistic and very concentrated... If you wanna...

You have zero credibility with me. There are probably << 100 Poker Pros that make $1,000,000/year... Probably less than 50 and that's with wild variance... And most of those have endorsement deals, etc... And are 100% totally committed to poker... And exactly ZERO of those would come to...

This was a gray area... Until the OSC sued clearing firm Southwest Securities circa 2001-2... And kicked Southwest out of Canada. Since that court case... It's been CLEARLY ILLEGAL for any US broker to do business in Canada... Unless they open a branch office in Canada that is regulated...

Windows Activation plays no role in this... certainly not in Windows 7. I just bought a new HP 8540w Win 7 Pro with USB 3.0 for about $2,000... And have been playing around with it. I cloned the primary drive to an Intel X25-m SSD... Housed in a Vantec External Enclosure connected by USB...

This is like saying... I don't know how to use a scalpel... And I don't know much about basic science or medicine... Nor do I have the time (10 years) to learn... But I want to perform brain surgery on my cat ASAP... Is there some software or "Neurological Surgery For Dummies" out there...

I don't believe your are turning marginal "poker pros"... Who are degens almost by definition... Into successful FX traders... this is just LOL. ALL Poker Pros survive by bum-hunting fish or whales... There is no parallel to this in FX trading.

There is a directory in JTS that will look like "drfwjxldvt"... There is one of these for every account your ever used... You have to copy this entire directory to another PC's JTS directory.

I could have said this for the old Casper XP... But the newer Casper Secure is unreliable... It fails OFTEN on "Shadow Volume Copy" issues... And destroys the backup, too. A failed copy that destroys an existing disk clone... Is 100% unacceptable EVER... no possible excuse... The kind of...

Basically this. Have the agreement written by a lawyer... Courts will often enforce Confidentiality Agreements. But it all depends on the developer having something to lose... Like some real estate... Because if your developer is broke (usually the case)... Or located in a corrupt...

This is quite perceptive... But we now live in an America... Where there are so many laws... That the average citizen commits 3 felonies/day... And 1 in 40 Americans is in jail or on parole. http://www.threefeloniesaday.com/ 100% of people that surf for free pr0n... (Which means about...

As someone who is a VERY successful trader... And have executed about 1,500,000 trades in my career... And have put a LOT of time into poker over 5 years... I almost 100% disagree with you. Your thinking is based on the erroneous belief... That successful traders make large directional...

Today, I made 1,170 trades = 183,461 shares: NYSE 81.7% ARCA 4.1% ISLAND 3.0% BATS 4.6% NSX 0.6% DIRECT 1.5% SMART 4.6% Over the past year SMART has ranged from 3.0% to 30.0%... But NYSE has clearly been re-gaining market share all year 2010... Though different stocks may have a...

Google is not your friend.

It's not about multi-this or that... and smoother curves... The only way you make money is with a *** COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE ***. If you can't tell me EXACTLY what your competitive advantage is in 30 seconds... Then you don't have one, sorry, maybe you're on a heater. And it's hard to...

Unbundled means IB can do whatever it wants with your order... Including holding/delaying it 1-2 seconds for any reason... So I don't see how a leased line helps you much with IB... But then all kinds of people seem to play out their fantasies here.

In 2008-09 when the Financial World was imploding... It was nice to know that IB would be the last one standing. IB is run by very smart, very ruthless people. They don't care at all about some nano-account that does 10 trades/day... And, equally, they don't care about a Pro Firm's...

This. For all intents and purposes... Even low end freeware like TrueCrypt... And low end corporate like PGP ($150)... Is virtually 100% secure AS LONG AS PROPERLY IMPLEMENTED: Professionally installed, strong password, PC is powered down. That's why encryption is illegal in many...

You watch CNBC and paper trade, right?

This I absolutely agree with. Great software engineers... Have made a total commitment to their software careers... They are not dreaming of becoming "traders".
