Gotta contrast on that one. That someone making 250 as a trader is living the lifestyle of someone who does 50k. Don't agree. A TRADER making 250k, if paying 50-60% in taxes, needs a new accountant (unless my calculations are way off, which I'm sure you'll correct me if they are). But...

Would you happen to work at or be a principal of a company that provides the technology or software that would be useful in locating stock, locking in a borrow, in real-time? Just curious.

Specs. may not be bale to initiate downticks, HOWEVER, there are MANY loopholes. The spec. can take part in a downtick. Say 1k bid, if I'm not mistaken, and someone correct me if I am, someone goes to sell 500 at the bid the spec can split it and also sell 500 on the downtick bid. That...

Another smart move by the s.e.c. Keep driving that liquidity right out the window. Yeah, THAT will protect "the little guy".

Pretty sure they were self-clearing.

I should know that. Wasn't really thinking, except for the walter part. Walter is a member of the Bruan family. The Bruans own/run (or should I use past tense!) Worldco. It's been said (not sure if in jest?) that Walter was trying to open an operation in Thailand.

Isn't that where Walter is opening his new operaton??? Oh wait, that was thailand. lol

"... and the people who run it are not hard to sit down with and bs with. " Neither was Walter. :D

I was also wondering about that possibility. You ask if that would defeat the purpose of the deposit in the first place. Well, what if it were arranged so that the money would go into some sort of seperate account or some sort of escrow where the money could only be used against that...

From my personal experience with prime brokers, every case of executing outside still involved a fee by the prime broker. In that case you'd pay a fee to your executing broker, and also to your prime. If you are going to use a prime broker you will want to first figure out what kind of...

THat's what I'm saying. I was dreaming.

Noticed in the table of the various cuts being fought between house and senate versions, from the NYTimes on friday, that the house is looking for capital gains to cap out at 15%. Were they just reffering to long-term rates? (My eyes became watery imagining 15% cap on short-term rates!)

What is that music on your site? I'd lke to download it for trading.:)

MKT closed friday. No?

no. You can always request your capital from your account.

Yes. Once you get positive in your acct. above a few thou. (not sure exactly how much) then you begin to get checks. I believe that at that point you get half of whatever your payout is until your acct. is "capitalized" and then after that point you get the full payout. capitalized is a...

)Payout numbers at wldc are unimportant trader to trader b/c once you get to the point where you are making money you can basically get the payout you want. To 95%+. That's not where the firm makes their money. 2)Holdbacks 15% and down from there. 3)Numbers situation all around (commiss...

The i.p. stuff is where the problem was. Thank you guys.:)

I was just trying someone's Motorola 720 and attempted to find the IB trading site. Couldn't get there. How do you get to the IB trading system using a T720. I didn't see a link for IB in the trading sites drop-down, and trying the regular IB url didn't work either. What gives? Thank you for...
