Gordon, thanks so much for starting this excellent thread. Brokers, NASD, SEC, GOV, UN, organizations of investors, consumers and human rights are starting to pay attention to us. Let's continue to the nice work. Die in our beds with $2K be draining by b*stards or find one chance, just one...

IMO, IB's strength is ideal for small to mid-size investments. You are right, it is not cheap for large orders at all. But unfortunately through many policy changes such as PDT rules on stock options, they are killing small investors who probably generate more commissions for them. Am I...

percentage payout of principle or profit? I am willing to pay 50% of my profit, commission excluded (that's 200% or so of profit). Thanks.

in some sense you are right, the rules force you to be more precise at your shoot. But it ain't fit my system. My goal is not to pay anything you mentioned, but to make a basic living. You got that? That is for the people at the bottom of the society. :p --- If that can not be done...

I know and feel the same. Thank you. :p

JCM2, I was able to do about 10% per month. I hope I will be able to keep as consistent as that for a while. Then I hope to do 25%. My broker will earn more than what I get. :p. But that is the price I have to pay. What do you think? Thank you. :p

aphexcoil who PM-ed? I didn't. I speak publicly and take insults. I know my friends. I know my enemies. I know what I am fighting for. Just want to make a living. That is what it is. Peace.

Why not, hard? Freedom to trade in the extend with the money that anyone has deposited and be accepted by brokers per customer agreements. Why PDT rules take away that right in the cases where enough cash are available?

Is there society still in slavery? people having less than 2k to trade = moron = lamb supposed to be slaughtered by market manipulators who use regulators and capitalists to take advantage by ripping away their basically equal rights to trade. :p --- Communism coming back.

Okay. Thanks so much for having this thread moved. Appreciate it.

Webmaster of EliteTrader, please remove this thread or move it to Pro Firms forum. Instead given chance to pathetic IB employees hiding somewhere, to insult their ex-customers, I duplicated the topic to Pro Firms. But found it was deleted lately Please instruct me what I should do before...

sit tight. we'll see. :p

Thank you. I know prop firms do not have to. Some retailer firm do not have to neither. The PDT rules is discriminatory, criminal and sucks. Whoever honors it will answer for it. :p

hii a_ooiioo_a, thanks for the explanation. But it may not be necessary to IB. IB was a failure to me anyway. This is not the topic here. Please do not take wrong on merely $2K. I will take care of myself and offer you what you deserve. What I ask for are trading freedom and equality same as...

Any lawyer friend here? The law suit can be a big hit, right? Think about so many small investors screwed up by intraday volatility in the past two years. It can be all the fault of PDT rules!!! This could be a great case in the history like those against tobacco companies. Let us know if you...

Let's storm NASD at email address pubcom@nasd.com with our opinions on PDT rules. How can we file a dispute resolution against NASD on PDT rules? How can we file a arbitration against NASD on PDT rules? How can we file a classic action law suit against NASD and brokers for the loss...

They changed. When I had an account with IB, I had to use check margin every time before placing order. Maybe you want to do that as well. Because otherwise it might cause huge problems later. And I missed buy and sell opportunities. :p

Yes, I keep quiet. Thanks for pointing it out. I mean checking spell did help me this time. Your help and opinions are highly appreciated. :p

No, doher made his or her points. I made mine. Of course, I have my agenda here. I keep quite and read good discussions. I also have to seek help to make a living. The biggest obstacle to me now is PDT margin rules. Of course, I have to attack it. IMO, you should as well. As for IB, you...

Thank you for your suggestions. But ET and AM have the same annoying PDT margin rule that does not fit my system. You are right. Not only IB is not as safe and high-quality as they are, but IB suddenly applies PDT rules to stock options without notification. In my opinion, they are destroying...
