Tough call, between a complete idiot and someone with extremely bad idea's.

This whole thread is rather useless. Like said, most prop traders trade with millions. Are those 'big guys' ? I don't think so. Besides, it isn't even very clear if topic opener is talking about buying power or the value ex leverage.

Then I probably misunderstood your comment :) Also agreed. And I also I don't think there'll be HYPERinflation, however I wouldnt be surprised if inflation would become higher than 10%/year and I'm not talking about the CPI, since that's a totally useless number.

No, but that's because velocity is low, because banks don't trust anybody. They just sit on their money, regardless of how much the FED feeds them (which is Bernanke's big mistake in judgement of course). If trust is restored and all the money comes into circulation, THEN you'll get your...

I don't think there's much difference between IB's Android and other mobile platforms ? I only have Android myself (same phone as you) but I do not dislike IB's mobile platform as much as you do. I think charting is pretty nice. But again, like said, I don't consider mobile platforms the main...

I used to be a market maker in Amsterdam, I was prop, trading the house account. The guys who were trading for clients had the most simple task of everybody. The guys who worked for Timberhill even had the nickname 'robots' in the crowds. So saying that trading for clients is more complex than...

Isn't that always the case when it comes to phones and trading ? Like topic opener said, a phone is far from the ideal platform for trading anyway ... My trading setup at the office has 8 monitors, but I'd consider the bare minimum for any serious trader to be two 21" monitors

Android will be the most used phone platform as of next year already. I think that pretty much says it all. Even if your specific brokerage firm doesn't support it yet, they most probably will soon (and if they dont, you should consider changing firms anyway)

Not sure what the goal of this poll is, but just wanted to add that most prop traders will have millions to trade with, most retail traders wont.

Most books on trading are written by people who failed at it. However, I do appreciate the books by Mark Douglas.

I'm pretty sure the US would rather go to war than denominate its debt in metals or any other currency.

Not mincing words at all. I'm just saying that when a company defaults, it ceases to exist. When a country defaults, it just stops paying on its debts. And, again, the US can never default since it prints its own money.

Like noted before, unlike companies, countries can not go bankrupt: companies cease to exist, countries not, they just stop paying on their debts. Besides, like also noted before, any country that has its own currency technically can never default either: they can just print their way out out if...

TWS for Android is out ! http://www.mobiletws.com/mobile/mobiles.php

nice, works perfectly !!

Sure, let's turn this into a blackberry vs iphone vs Android debate, you dinosaur ;)

It says "coming soon" on the IB website ? Not sure how long it has been saying that though ...

LOL. You clearly don't understand what naked access is. Naked access is the situation where a HFT firm sends orders DIRECTLY to the ECN, not going via a broker. Any HFT firm could easily bring down the market to its knees like that since there's NO ONE checking margin (except the HFT firm...

Of course, but if someone keeps repeating the same over and over again, without that being helpful to ANYONE, it clutters up the site and makes it less pleasant for everybody. Baron, thanks for banning this idiot, this is a good day.

I'm pretty sure your account has to be enabled for DDE.
