    In fast moving market, IB is a joke

    runner, make your own decisions based on your own observations and your own common sense. There are only a small number of real traders on this board that know what they're doing. cdntrader is one of them. My experience with IB has been exemplary. I can reach them on the phone. They answer...

    yo, help me with video cards, dudes

    The very general answer is just about any combo of cards will work. The specific answer depends on the combo of cards you choose. Make sure to stick with XP or win 2000 and try and keep the cards same brand. I"m thinking get a good agp gaming card and a second pci card. The second card could be...

    Ib Tws

    dojibear, David 1 is right. I had same prob. Called IB support (which btw I never wait more than 1 or 2 minutes and always get a straight answer) and they told me to drag tws to the primary monitor, stop, and drag back. I have to do it once in a while, but it solves the problem. All computers...

    Pristine TPM1 and TPM2 manuals

    I did both seminars. Found both to be usefu and valuable. Truth is the manuals tell all. The seminar is just going through them page by page. Both seminars together cost $4,000 plus travel expense. I'll sell both, unmarked, for $400 and include an hours free coaching time. Yes, I now make money...

    Schedule D and Futures

    Dumb question: I rencently moved to trading futures and can't figure what the correct (acceptable to IRS) procedure is to fill in for each trade on schedule D for the cost and sale amounts.

    Tony Crabel

    freealways, the responsiblity for what YOU did is YOU. People who jump at the chance to blame anybody but themselves is in large part the reason we have the most f***** up legal system in the world. Until you accept responsibility for everything you get rewards for nothing.

    Claiming Traders Status

    Trader status and mark to market are two different things. Trader status essentially means you have a trading business. It does not exclude other businesses or employment. You report trading p/l on schedule D, expenses and depreciation on C. The IRS has a great deal of latitude in defining...
