Have a soybean then See why Greenspan ate a peanut instead?

PDT rules don't affect futures Have a peanut

If Greenspan said that, soy futures would drop. You said it, so it makes no difference

Greenspan eats a peanut. Soy Futures are up.

I think this one belongs either in Technical Analysis or Software then.

The options market is "safer" for those people who don't like using margin. And the newness of the SSF market doesn't make SSF a comfortable alternative at this time, which is what this thread is all about.

As long as it's relevent to the topics he has posted it on, it is not spam. It should probably be moved to the Software topic. But in the meantime, I don't think it's inappropriate to the topics he placed it under: Trading, Trading Strategy, Technical Analysis, and Options.

I'm sure that all the electronic exchanges have had to deal with unexpected difficulties when they first started out. And how long has ARCA been around? I agree with qdz that SSF are not a safe alternative for traders who have been pushed out of the options market by the recent application of...

If there's nothing commercially available, go to the Software topic in this forum, and make the suggestion to aphexcoil in the Jasper thread. I'm sure he'll get excited about it and build those bells and whistles into his trading platform

Some people are impolite because they are bored 14 year olds who come on here just to post insults. This forum is here for newbies as much as experienced traders. If someone asks a question like this thread's, and maybe they could have found an answer by spending a few hours going through...

That would be a good title for a Trading Strategy topic: Maybe, Maybe Not

You see, the problems, and the basis of at least my complaint about these rules, have to do with the definitions of the words "daytrader" and "risk". I'm not a daytrader, if daytrader means someone making dozens or hundreds of trades a day. We usually think of the daytraders as people doing...

Print out your e-mail, and put it in envelopes, when you feel like getting around to it, and stick them in a mailbox, in addition to the e-mail. Might help, couldn't hurt?

I do that sometimes if I see someone who has said something interesting. But then I have to wade through all the one line posts they have made, and usually give up after a half dozen posts. Especially if they have more than 25 posts in their file.

It's kind of like creating a prop-firm. That's how they do it when they hire traders at the prop-firms and they can daytrade with exemption from the rule because they're trading from the firm's collective base assets of over $25,000.

That's truly kind of you TM_Direct to offer, and qdz's extension of the idea as well as vladiator's original suggestion all add up to a very good plan. If a daytrading partnership were formed, with a frozen base asset of $25,000, then members could contribute their amount of money to the...

As qdz has stated, the purchase of long options is non-marginable, comes out of cash. Buying options does not put the clearing firm at risk, since it is paid upfront in cash. No margin is involved. No money is borrowed by the trader from the broker. If they want to say that buying options...

Look in the Hook-Up topic, there are two threads: "Any traders in Houston" and "Houston Traders?" I think this thread will get moved to Hook-Up also

Here's a genuine suggestion: Instead of listing the members with the highest post count on the main Forum page, have a Most Actively Traded list Next to the Edit/Quote/Kill options on a posted message, there could be an Archive option. When you post a message, it would say...

Spell check is a good suggestion. It's right there available free every time you make a post. We all make typos. Some people are better at spelling than others. Take advantage of a service that can save you embarrassment and may even teach you to spell a word or two.
