They each have their pluses and minuses. I use an automated strategy in a low volatility environment or when I'm not able to be at the screen. I still stick with manual trading during high volatility periods or if the strategy needs constant tweaking. It is extremely difficult to program an...

Yes, I have used Sierra for three years to do all charting, trading (including auto) and backtesting. It is a a solid choice and very reasonably priced. I have never used Ninja Trader for anything other than an evaluation.

Metastock is great for charting (i used it before switching to Sierra) but they have really dropped the ball in recent years by not adding any significant new features and completely ignoring autotrading.

I would recommend Sierra Chart, Ninja Trader is another. Cheers.

This is a nice app and works well with Interactive Brokers xml reports. http://www.tradingdiarypro.com/

The real kicker with this is that somehow (accidentally?) the NFA actually received the real U.S. Bank statement last year showing only a 10MM balance. They then apparently contacted Wasendorf (or he found out from the inside) who then sent them the "correct" one showing 200MM+ and then NFA left...

RealVNC makes a nice VNC Viewer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android&hl=en I have also used PocketCloud which supports RDP https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android&hl=en I wouldn't personally run either of these two...

Is that what made it a green building, just don't cut the lawn???

I would pick Android also based on my 2 years of experience with both a 2.3 gingerbread phone and recently with 4.0 ice cream sandwich TF101 tablet. It works great with VNC and SSH remote connections. The only issue I have noticed with Android is that some apps namely the web browsers tend to...

yeah, really it takes someone that "sophisticated" to fool our regulators. Clearly, the regulators had to know they were not getting statements directly from the bank all along and just didn't care I guess. He couldn't have used the same PO Box for 20 years as they had only been in Iowa since...

NFA's non-executive chairman Chris Hehmeyer's take on the whole PFGBest debacle: "They [NFA auditors] are the ones that uncovered this whole thing," Hehmeyer said, of NFA auditors. "If they hadn't caught him, it could have gotten a lot bigger." There you have it. According to Mr. Hehmeyer...

Wasendorf says that the fraud goes back 20 years... Pretty much back to the year they started in 1992! Please don't tell me he has been fooling the regulators with a phony PO Box for 20 years. Should be very interesting to hear the new explanation that seems to have befuddled our intrepid...

I understand what you are saying and the pay should be competitive and I'm sure they are making a decent salary and good benefits currently even without factoring in any performance bonuses. My point echoes what LincolnArmy said... that there are plenty of qualified auditors and accountants...

How about they will not have a job if they do not perform their basic function. How's that for an incentive?

This is laughable. Offer them bonuses to do their job, which they can't seem to do in the first place? This is pretty amusing. Who do you work for CFTC or NFA? I've heard it all now.

Better grab your PFGBest SpongeBob limited edition set before they are all gone... they are not making anymore of these you know!! Only $259 for 4oz of Silver (2x the market price) and a toy treasure chest but who's counting... http://spongebobcoins.com/

Seems the NFA has had doubts about Stahr for awhile. I just downloaded a complaint (International Commodity Clearing and Steven I. Zander) which stated that Stahr's audits were "woefully ineffective and rarely found any deficiencies". So here we have the NFA still relying on audits from a...

Well, I still don't understand what loophole there was if the NFA contacted the bank through the bank's address which is available to anyone with a web browser and half a brain. Paper documents from the bank would have been just as effective as this "new" electronic verification method at...

It doesn't really matter who the documents were addressed to... where did the NFA receive the address to mail the documents?? My conclusion is they received it obviously from Wasendorf, there is no other reasonable explanation. This is so absurd it almost defies logic how he got away with it for...

Well there usually one main bank that is included in the account opening forms where incoming initial deposits go. My question is what the hell does segregated funds mean if there is no oversight from the bank holding a seg fund account. Did U.S. Bank never question why Wasendorf used the...
