    Trading can be easy

    I agree. Trading in a choppy market is extremely easy. Trading in a trend is extremely easy. The only problem is that you don't know what kind of market you are in until it is to late.

    SEC to Nearly Double Equity Transaction Fee

    How true. I watched this phenomenon (socialism rising to power and destroying a country through taxes, fees, increase in the number of laws and failure to enforce any of them, corruption in general) in Europe and came to the US to escape it. I guess the joke's on me. BTW, the fingerprinting...

    Cant really see the advantage of E-Minis versus Stock Options or Stock Index Options

    abenyukh, The difference between trading stock or index options and eminis is like the difference between being a truck driver and flying a stealth bomber. You could argue they are basically the same, but there are also various differences. I would say for your level of experience options...

    Is IB that good?

    Glad to hear that TMBR is making money off of someone. With all the excellent fills I get from them, I was starting to get worried they might stop making markets. The reason why I think TMBR is absolutely honest and fair is that the TMBR quote changes in my favor just as often as it goes...

    Petition to revoke Babak's moderating ability

    I Missed Boat, You wouldn't happen to be a politician? Probably not. Although we obviously don't have the same opinion on many things, I must admit you seem like an intelligent and reasonable person to me. Politicians who represent an opposing point of view usually don't.

    Good entries: 101 for newbies

    This is a very nice way to put it. It means you should enter on a quick retracement, but not a slow, U-shaped one, doesn't it? You should have told me a year ago!

    Petition to revoke Babak's moderating ability

    I wonder where you find all this information. Do you live at a library or something? How about looking up one last bit of information for us uninformed gentiles please? I would like to know which country has violated the greatest number of UN resolutions. I have always thought it was...

    Do you hate doing your taxes?

    My business activity is so small, I don't even bother. I just subtract the cost I pay for materials from my sales. Schedule D, of course, is a different story. If you have a gain from a short sale you have a different cut off date than if it is a loss, unless of course it is a wash sale...
