Nope. I always ASSumed that the 2 years is from the time one gets u5'ed. Anyway do you think if I go back to the old pro firm that is in the old SRO I can get back in? I really don't like to spend next 2-3 weeks studying for the 7 again specially since it had zero bearing whatsoever on the task...

I have a question about transferring S7. I was a member of a pro firm whose SRO is the PHLX and passed s7 Oct 2000. I was u5'd by the firm 10/2003. I was hoping to join an NASD pro firm which requires S7, S55. I took the s55 and ASSumed the S 7 can be transferred. NASD told me 2 days ago I have...

So go remote! Assent has nice software for remotes. I can't deal with somebody next to me saying "who's your daddy" everytime he is short and a step down seller emerges. So i went remote only charge is the vpn for $100 per month.

Analyzing pc ratio w/o analyzing the IV changes that transpired is kinda dangerous. Case in point.. Brazil comes in and sells a ton of sugar puts for next 2 weeks, Put OI goes up since they are opening trades hence ratio goes up, is that bearish..of course not. You can't discern that w/o...

sugar traded at the nybot is primarily world sugar #11 which is cane and beet. Primary producers are EU, Brazil US, Cuba. HFCSyrup is not sugar but is in fact an alternative to it which gives sugar a natural substitue. Interesting sidenot is that sugar can be made into ethanol which might play...

jb.. I agree w/ you, if things get really bad those oj constituents will make a big stink in DC and lo and behold, Oj wil be part of the aid packages US sends to N Korea, africa and school lunch programs,etc. They should talk to the sugar lobby. World sugar is 6 cents but the sugar farmers get...

IMHO if coffee takes off huge, SBUX and other coffee houses might suffer since they don't have as much elasticty as non-niche restaurants. It is far easier for the diner to raise coffee prices from 1.2 to 1.40 but imagine a latte grande above $5?

IB is reg by NYSe which has a diff interp of the PDT rule vs. NASD firms. As long as u have $ for the premium which is then release the next day you shouldbe able to buy /sell options. At least that is what my ex-broker told me. Keep in mind that options settle next day which helps. Talk to...

Don, padon my naivete but could u elaborate a little bit on the guys at CBOE controlling IBM? In this day and age of huge $ distributed amongst hundreds of hedge funds, how could "CBOE guys" control a widely held stock. I could see a small stock or cocoa/sugar/palladium but IBM?

Don, I've resigned myself to the fact that instead of fighting the spec system over something that is unwinnable( unless the system changes), I've got to adapt and find a different game within the system wherein his inherent advantage is not going to be as glaring. The system I am referring to...

toonces, check out linnsoft.com . They might have what you are looking for. Another alternative is neovest first alert or insight. I am an "expert" with linnsoft and from your description you can use the "tokens" called avgvol, tickvol,daypct in linnsoft. Tokens are variables that linnsoft...

There are a lot of reasons why conversions should be part of the marrieds ban BUT there are also a lot of elements why they fall outside. It is so gray everyone using them is taking a big chance and everyone NOT using them is taking a big opportunity cost chance (i.e. not making money hitting...

heiken ashi really is much like a Ma wherein it smooths out jagged ohlc bars. Don't see much use for them mainly fillers on stock magazines.

Assent has conversions for retail traders. I just asked 2 days ago. Problem is it eats up your cap.

Hi Djclif Pair trading is quite interesting specially in the summer months due to smaller ranges. My concern in not trying it is that the skillset required to pair trade violates several no's no's you learn in trading 101 such as never average a loser, when u are wrong get out instead of...

Joseph what makes u think they closed it ? just curious... Thanks

Help! My PC is toast. I had the explorer problem detailed in other posts here wherein an "invalid syntax" shows up as the window title. After trying anything and everything, nothing seems to work but now it does'nt even open anymore, I just get a window that says invalid iexplore.exe... In...

Can anyone recommend a retail firm that 1.have electronic front end for options execution. 2. commish below .01 3.will recognize option poitions as part of the net liquidating account to determine whether a trader has the $25000 for PDT purposes. Other firms such as IB are probably bouded...

Cognitivefun, I too, don't understand your comment about Penson- a clearing firm that is a member firm of SIPC should'nt be too much of a concern for there are worse worries to be had specifically trading worries. The equities sideof business is so heavily regulated that it is pretty hard to...
