"The scheme apparently began to unravel after the NFA began to press Wasendorf, who was an early advocate of electronic trading, to allow the regulator to confirm balances electronically and directly with the bank, rather than in a hard copy via mail, the person said." This statement implies...

This is actually not what happened apparently. The NFA knew that the documents were not coming directly from the bank. He didn't intercept anything... they mailed to an address he provided and astoundingly knew that it wasn't connected with the bank at all. In recent weeks the NFA was asking to...

If you had your account through their Canadian subsidiary it sounds like you'll be ok because those funds appear to be intact. If your account was opened though the US operation and your funds were held at U.S. Bank, it *sounds* like at least 50% loss and a bankruptcy claim is the only way to...

Peterffy can personally write a check for 800 million without blinking an eye. I sleep pretty soundly at night having an account with IB. They are one of the very few firms that I would trust in this shameful low point of our industry.

Does anyone have a download for 921.5 Unix/Mac version? edit: Actually the Windows version will work too since I only really need the jar files. edit edit: Never mind, I found it it on NinjaTrader's website... if you need it here is the link...

Ah thanks. I never liked Scottrade maybe something to do with the helicopter flying Rodger Riney!! Never trust a broker who flies around in a helicopter!!

He says in the video he used a limit order not a market order. It is also apparent from the brokerage statement in the opening it was a limit order that was expired at the end of the day ... clearly it was a horrible trade from the get go because his limit price was $46 which was crazy in...

great advice Kirk. I'll add that if you trade US products don't bother switching to their Asian servers. The reset times follow the individual markets so the feeds still have the exact same reset times no matter which server you are on.

MS, I guess we are talking about two different outage windows. I trade US futures mainly so the 5:15pm outage is entirely a non-issue for me. I was referring to their nightly outage which resets the market feeds every night for about 10-15 minutes of no connectivity. I don't know exactly what...

No clear answer to the nightly (12:15-12:20 AM to be exact) reset has ever been given to my knowledge. It makes no sense and is rather irresponsible to be honest to have planned outages (especially every night!) at anytime that the markets are open. I believe it is some antiquated procedure...

I agree and I have a good idea who it is. There have been other threads that also discussed testing trading ideas using "unconventional" ideas, methods or information that were banished to Chit Chat in the same manner. It is a subtle form of censorship but all too common here unfortunately.

Yes, it is worth repeating that the predictions they made about the future leader of Iran being a lunatic predated his first year in office in 2005 by many years. Renard had all of the material to write both books well before they were ever published. The prediction is all the more astonishing...

Your predictions about the future life of this thread were sadly mistaken. Oh well, I'm not surprised. Thanks for bringing this topic up it was interesting while it lasted. :D

Here is another interesting trading related passage from The Disappearance of the Universe. The male being Arten is speaking to Renard about interests: "So yes, develop your abilities. Trade the markets if you want to, as just one example. Use technical analysis. Get excited when you see a...

The book in question is Your Immortal Reality by Gary Renard published in 2006 and is sequel to his book The Disappearance of The Universe published in 2004. The visits to Mr. Renard happened well before the publications of these books though. I think between 1992 - 2001 if memory serves...

All screens just went into the Pink Screen of Death. Arghh. I guess IB decided to reboot their servers during the middle of the market session.

For those interested, Google currently has Moneyball the book available for 25 cents on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market) better hurry though it only lasts for a short time.

the link he posted throws in an extra "http://" just remove it and it should work. I watched a little of these but it was not interesting enough to watch 9 hours worth for me but to each his own. Maybe you will get something useful out of it.

This kind of makes me want to stop using the Internet so much actually. rather a waste of time/life when it is put like this.
