    Trying to make it on my own

    You don't have to be so proper on these boards. If someone asks how you trade and you don't want to say, just tell them to F Off. :D Good luck in your journey! Curve looks good from what you posted. Sometimes there are slower, grind it out times; and others will seem almost too easy.

    Compliance/Selling Away Question

    Yeah, I don't know how much difference there is in an independent shop vs a wirehouse in today's environment. Sounds like you know who to contact and what to ask then. Pretty cut and dry. Just expect to be turned down immediately and it might require a few tries to get something approved -...

    Trading Other Peoples Money - What is allowed ?

    That link at IB is a nice, concise view of it. Also call/email the NFA and get info in writing if you have specific questions. http://www.nfa.futures.org/ Now whether or not you should do it is another discussion in itself and there's been plenty of those floating around this forum for...

    Compliance/Selling Away Question

    My experience was that compliance does not like anything done at another firm. Your situation is unique, so maybe they will cut you some slack but I have not found compliance people to be very forgiving. If your dad is independent, maybe it will be a little easier to get the ok vs. a...

    I still have flash as I don't know of a good alternative. Maybe the tech guys can give us an idea if you can replace flash and if so, with what.

    Selling annuities?

    As an ex-broker that sold these things, I highly recommend you get all fees laid out in a format you can read. Annuities can make sense for the right situation; however, annuities also typically pay the broker very well - and that is due to all the fees that the insurance company attaches to...

    CL Redux

    Unless your strategy uses the volume difference, I always trade the contract w/ the most volume. Can never go wrong doing that.

    What antivirus program you guys use to protect your trading computers?

    Update here in case anyone was following along - with the new Avast upgrade, I have been unable to get Avast and SE to work together anymore. So that solution is not one I would recommend at this point. I also learned while reading up on this that it was redundant anyway and actually may have...

    CL Redux

    For me personally, trailing a stop on the CL has never worked. The quick little retraces are excellent at taking you out and then working out as you expected initially. Realize that you will never nail your exits - you will almost always exit too early or too late. Once you accept this, then...

    Best wireless internet

    All that matters is coverage where you will be using it. Verizon is rock solid in the Cleveland area. Anything wireless I have is through Verizon b/c of reliability. But you need to check coverages where you plan to use it.

    Beware of Adobe 8 upgrade

    I think the point is -- drop adobe reader and find a slimmer solution. The program has become this massive thing that every update just gets bigger and bigger -- for a pdf reader. Not worth it when so many good alternatives out there.

    Need advice on internet cards for a Laptop

    With mobile cards, it depends on where you will be and then coverage in that area(s). For example, Verizon is rock solid where I am at and would not consider another provider. They may be horrible in other places though so make sure to check coverage maps.
