Wanna.. go to the "my story" thread and you will read the stories of many participants on this board.. also, hitmans journal can give you some insight but dont get too caught up in the pro firm hype/nonsense.. a great book for you to read would be "The Stock Trader" by Tony Oz.. its...

avenida.. for a first step you dont want to make them an offer.. you want them to make you an offer.. you never know what they might say.. but aside from that.. here are some links.. http://law.freeadvice.com/financial_law/broker_disputes/...

Sarasota.. you are correct, my recommendation to avenida would not be in your best interest, since if he is able to work out a reasonable settlement on his own, you wont get paid.. but let me ask you this.. if he hires you, and etrade says "screw it, lets force him and his mother to declare...

avenida.. once etrade knows you hired a lawyer, they probably wont talk to you at all.. the best thing for you to do is what brandon recommended.. call them up.. ask to speak to supervisor.. and tell them that you simply dont have the money.. offer to work something out with them and say...

Funster.. no offense but its not that simple.. 66c per side would only be 100% profit if IB did not have any other expenses.. office space, employees, phones, computers, exchange fees, internet, etc.. next time you go to Outback tell them you only want to pay 4 dollars for your steak...

on the other hand.. if i remember correctly the firm made the position available to hitman because he talked some traders (stockk and his friends) into leaving their current firm and joining worldco.. so, hitman was in effect doing the work of a recruiter, why should he not be compensated...

Hitman, congrats on the nice win.. good luck tomorrow.. -qwik

here, ill give you some new people to insult.. "Now, I am not suggesting that we dont need some form of market analysis or methodology to define opportunities and allow us to recognize them; we certainly do. However, market analysis is not the path to consistent results. It will not solve...

neo, everyone is wired differently.. in basic psych terms there are 4 temperaments.. melancholy, sanguine, choleric and phlegmatic.. each temperament places a different emphasis on task/people and outgoing/reserved.. we are all made up of a mixture of these but generally have one dominant...

Hitman, when i wrote the post describing methods i have found useful for getting out of a slump, i was aware that you are not open minded to most new ideas and generally dont respect other people.. my intention was to bring ideas to the group discussion so that others could comment and...

Qcharts has a little program called Qlink that will allow you to import streaming quotes into excel.. i am actually going to Atlanta today to buy office xp to use for this very purpose.. ill let you know how it works.. here is the link to qcharts if it interests you.. www.qcharts.com this...

Hitman.. my purpose in copying those old posts isnt to say "i told you so" but just to reinforce what im saying.. i havent read all of your journal but ive been following it for the last 5 months or so.. i dont think you have ever experienced a bad slump.. i have been through one.. i...

trader88, thats the same Allen.. he just started working with RT about a week ago and he just trades the Q's for the most part.. i was a member of mtrader a long time ago and i remember the rough times.. he has been doing well for the last week that ive watched him call trades though...

limit.. you forgot two things.. 1) - education.. a chat room is a great place to look over the shoulder of an experienced trader.. also, we become like the people we associate with.. and so being around people who have a proper mental approach to the market allows us to duplicate that...

tah.. hi Don.. i like the new screen name =) -qwik

arnott basically all you need is a flashlight, a stick, and a bag.. then you wait until about midnight and have some friends drop you out in the woods.. hold the bag open and whack the stick on the ground in short bursts.. pretty soon you'll have a whole bag full.. yes, i know it seems...

Jack, if you were on the east coast i might be interested but you are way too far from where i live.. i realize you have gotten a less than pleasant welcome to this board.. it used to be that ET was a place where traders shared ideas.. more recently its attracted alot of vendors...
