I was remiss in not mentioning that I am taking the S7 because I need it. I am pretty much decided on the pro firm I'll be going with, sponsorship notwithstanding. You should carefully consider what some of the other posters to this thread are saying about the usefulness of the S7 as a...

From the site that you are referencing above: Quote (their all-caps, not mine): "Will we sponsor you for the exam? ABSOLUTELY NOT, and if you hear about a way to get sponsored without being hired—you are about to get RIPPED OFF!" This info is not quite correct. In WA--where I reside--the...

I haven't taken the 7 yet (next month probably) but I've taken plenty of exams through Prometrics and I know that they administer the 7 in my area. When you take any test at a Prometrics center the exam is graded on the spot and before you leave they give you a pass or fail certificate with...

Not that I really want to throw my hat into this ring, but since the matter of the sacro-sanct "bandwidth" is being raised (the sanctimonious Internet equivalent of "We do it for the chillldrrreeenn!!!"), I'd say that having to scroll through multiple iterations of the hi-res picture of a...

You forgot to say what OS you're running :)

I use Option Money. A bit pricey ($350) but easy to use (fast intuitive data entry); excellent interface, stable and overall a well written program. http://www.optionmoney.com/main/omoney.htm It will generate a year-end summary for the IRS and is compatible with TurboTax. It also tracks...

Well, I trade my IRA account sparingly, and IB works OK for my margin account, but they are a very quirky outfit. So the delayed credit rule doesn't bother me much and didn't warrant keeping my IRA somewhere else. I agree with you that depending on the way you trade a cash account, delayed...

I'm also a refugee from Dreyfus (sweet margin deal that we had there didn't we?) :). I went to IB. You can do puts and calls in your IRA accounts there but due to their cash accounts policy, you have to wait until settlement day for availability of your funds after closing a position: therefore...

And you get what you pay for :D :D :D :D

The "market" does not count on anything. It does not know that you or anyone else exists, and it does not care. Elvis

Bwhahahahahahahaha!!! "Last Year Alone, You Could Of Put $293,560.00 In Your Pocket Using My Guaranteed System!" If his system is as good as his grammar, "you could of" ended up an ex-trading hobo in no time. :D

Yes, you will learn that Mr Schwartz has precisely two bowels movement per day; one in the morning and one in the evening, because as he tells us (and this is very important) "you need to keep the plumbing clean" (or something to that effect). :D :D

Quoting myself here... Follow-up: I checked by email and no, they won't. Only thing different, the person answering said, are the data fees. Elvis

Someone was saying in a thread around here that IB will extend 10/1 margin to professionals with a series7. I don't know... I'll be checking into that. Elvis

So, you average 175K shares a day, for about 100 trading days. That's 17.5 million shares total. Out of which you extracted a gross profit of $166K. That's about $0.0095 gross profit per share (166,000/17,500,000). You say that you pay commission of 0.0078/share (is there a zero or two too...

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that this was possible without affiliation with a prop shop. Elvis

ddlee, your explanation is not clear. Can you please expand on that a little bit? If you get increased margin, isn't that because you are now affiliated with a prop firm or similar, regardless of the fact you trade from home? Or are you a "customer" but because of your serie 7 you are being...

Tom Vu, is that you??? :D

One remark on Bright's office: it's right downtown. I'd be looking to trade remote so the office location would not bother me. But if I wanted to trade every day from a firm's office, having to commute in and out of downtown Seattle, that'd be a huge dis-incentive. Apart from the hassle, the...
