    CL always-in

    no offense DOM but your best sample size is way too small, all bets are off when there is no more fed money in markets, look how different they are with only 20 k pullback (10 more starting in Feb.) you needed to have traded cl before and after fed money to know how differently the instrument...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    It is not about how much money they spend, their budget is far more than let`s say NT through the history of the platform (probably by a factor of 100) it is poor upper management of the programs (given all the negative feedback) the leader of this department should have been fired until they...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    I bet you would really like a 2-hour brokerage comparison across the entire landscape - that does bring me some joy in having you think IB is a great brokerage - in fact, you are the very Muppet IB loves as clients. IB is the greatest brokerage out there:)

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    Ok you win IB is very competitive in Brokerage fees - keep using them for your main broker - you can save $30,000 dollars in commissions every year if you do your research. They are so uncompetitive, that they literally steal from clients accounts - nobody utilizes them for anything but an...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    I do not have a TradeStation account, but I thought that if you had a certain capital amount , and traded a certain minimum that they waived platform fees, and didn`t charge for bundled data packages. Their commissions were slightly higher, and they charged for wires. I am sure regular...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    just look at your annual commissions column paid to IB every year: This number is shocking at the end of the year: They should be giving everything else for free and I mean everything instead of this nickle and dimeing crap. They should give commission rebates like poker sites at the end of...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    At IB you are getting double dipped in fees, first on each trade you pay the exchanges a fee and then IB`s side of the fee, and then IB re-hits you up for bundled data fees for the supposed data costs. And they are so bad from a platform perspective that you have to pay for third party...

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    regulators were alseep at the wheel, too damn much consolidation in the exchanges, consumers/traders get screwed in the process as the exchanges have pricing power/monopoly status and all keep raising fees because lack of competition.

    CME & IB keep raising Fees

    First IB raises DATA bundles, then they align the Brent contract with an expensive bundle that most people don`t trade, so if you want the Brent contract, you have to pay for the entire sub., then they a la carte options, now they are separating vix, pretty dam soon every single instrument will...

    funny story trading in NG was interviewing some guy; I swear this guy was a meteorologist or something....and my desk was right across from the conference rooms they were interviewing this poor soul; it must have been 13 plus people and 5 plus hours later they were still grilling this guy - it...

    Unfortunately, you cannot point out the absurdities involved in the interview process, as that won`t help your situation: Those were pretty easy questions to come up with semi-defensible answers (but here is the catch, almost any answer will be picked apart) so I would come up with an answer...
