    Robinhood New Account Question(s)

    Just got my account approval and my transfer from my bank has been initiated. I get they do a credit check but a credit check and suitability are two different things. I am not complaining, and this was very easy, but even if I have a score of 750 on my credit, that does not mean I am suitable...

    Robinhood New Account Question(s)

    So I opened an account today with Robinhood. The application asked for my name, address, phone, marital status and if I was associated with FINRA. On the next page it said it needed to verify my identity so it asked my SS# and DOB. That was it. I clicked an agreed. So my questions are: 1.) Are...

    Ninjatrader Brokerage Reviews?

    I would say it has been a non-event. I was a Mirus customer before Ninja and still have an account. Nothing bad to say, nothing really good or different to say, just the same brokerage solution as before.

    Gain/OEC: serious lag today or just me?

    The CME data charges are set to start Jan 1, I am assuming this is the "new data charges" you are referring. This is a cost across all futures brokerages. If you are a non-professional the fees are lower $5 to $15 but if you are deemed a professional they are much more substantial. The entire...

    Snoop Dogg And Marc Andreessen Backed This No-Fee Trading App Launching Today

    I signed up a long time ago (they have been developing for years) and got my invite yesterday. I was excited to open an account. I started to fill out the form and it asked if I had iOS7+. As an Android user I checked "no". It basically said, sorry we only support iOS7+ at this point. If you...

    RTD Realtime Trading Desktop

    RTD was primarily used by heavy options traders and many that were making markets. RTS was bought by Bloomberg so I am not sure if the product has been update since then or not. RTD was always very powerful yet not that intuitive to use. Hope this helps.

    Comments on Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. ?

    Thanks for the clarification. I think their platform (white label of OEC) is pretty good especially if you are trading ES.

    Comments on Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. ?

    Your initial post asked about ES which is futures not forex. Your article on benefits of an Introducing Broker is based on forex not futures so I fail to see your point.

    Comments on Global Futures Exchange & Trading Co. ?

    My only comment is that is odd in this day of heavy regulation and transparency that the National Futures Association allows a firm to call itself "Global Futures Exchange" when it is an introducing broker. It is certainly brilliant by GFE as it makes them appear much more significant, like an...

    Trade futures in IRA account

    Go to your broker and just ask them what trust company they use for IRA. Each trust company will have its own rules. You open an account with the FCM and with the trust company. The broker will restrict the account based on the trust companies instructions. It is not a perfect system but if you...

    Trading is like a drug

    I have seen it over and over, like in gambling, a lot of traders like the action more than they like making money. Trading to make money is a lot more boring than trading for action.

    Shorting ES future regulation

    Read the new account documents. The broker can make the margin whatever they want based on their assessment of risk. They can do it by product or overall.

    Trading is like a drug

    Let him burn out, who cares. Once he is burnt out, totally spent and broke then he will realize there is more to life than looking at a screen.

    Trading is like a drug

    Maybe you don't need intervention but certainly some of the best traders I have seen have had a better life balance. You can become too close the markets and detached from reality relatively easy. Obviously, this not a good thing. I would suggest you force yourself to find a hobby or interest...
