I've spoken with three companies about this, and I'm getting mixed opinions: First company made no distinction between professional and non-professional data use. If you have direct access to a real-time data feed, you are responsible for the fees. Second company. More towards the...

In my mind, "non-display" means "no API." An Application Programmer Interface (API) is, by definition, not for display, but for processing with code that is not displayed to the screen. This is crushing to smaller investors. What I am uncertain about is the intention of these fees. Are they...

This is not true. Traders saved Joseph's life! They pulled him out of a well, into which he had been thrown and left to die. See Genesis 37.

All the same challenges that Joshua Levine faced when he built Island. Read the book "Dark Pools." There is a real market force at work here: a generation of people who were brought up with laptops and phones. They know how to write code, and are not afraid to use their skill to gain an edge by...

Exercised this morning, ate a good breakfast, got in front of my screen on time, made about 80 trades, fought hard to keep my gains and avoid losses.. and finished the day up $13. Sigh. All that time, and what did I get out of it? "Don't get frustrated, and don't get emotional is what my...

I feel your pain bro. I wrote a long post about this... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/non-display-fees.301156/ I've heard it's because they're pointing the finger at HS/HFT as the cause of the 2008 crash, and want to discourage it, but personally I believe that they put these fees in...

Do you ever miss the hot druggie?

I coulda got him for 15.

It's far worse... I'm a Bible thumper. I want to put the following in my sig: This is first mention of trade in the Bible (outside of the purchase of Rachel as a wife, but that's something else). Traders saved Joseph's life! He'd been tossed into a well by his brothers, because they were...

This post would not be complete without financial proverbs from the original; that is, the Biblical book of Proverbs. In respect of the ET subforum structure, I've created a separate thread for these proverbs in Politics and Religion...

My son, should sinners entice you, and say, "Come along with us! Let us lie in wait for the honest man, let us, unprovoked, set a trap for the innocent; Let us swallow them up, as the nether world does, alive, in the prime of life, like those who go down to the pit! All kinds of precious wealth...

Honor the Lord with your wealth, with first fruits of all your produce; then will your barns be filled with grain, with new wine your vats will overflow; The discipline of the Lord, my son, disdain not; spurn not His reproof; for whom the Lord loves he reproves, and he chastises the son he...

Inspired by the "Best Trading Proverbs" post (link follows), I've put together a list of King Solomon's proverbs, from the Biblical book of that name, which relate to Finance. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-best-trading-proverbs.284308/ The first group are those which I find to be...

In other words, two heads are better than one; five are better than two. (Is there a subset of Fibonacci in that statement?)

Agree... I've seen forums like that, and it is tedious. What's your ask on this chair?

...and volatility.

It dropped almost 14% last month. I don't think that the recent questionable activity will kill the firm. It's just a matter of time before they bounce. I mean, look what happened with Deutsche? We all know that Uncle Sam isn't going to let Wells fall over this. They are, simply put, too big to...

Do benefactors count as sponsors?

I've hunted through all the menus but can't find it. Thanks.

Buying low, selling high; selling high, buying low.
