We have a publication in the United States of whatever we are anymore called The National Enquirer which likes to present stories like this, along with stories about Michael Jackson and UFO abductions. They like it best of all if they can present a story claiming that Michael Jackson is a UFO...

And you persist in missing the original point that brought you into this whole discussion, which was that no matter how much money is in the damn account (forget about little ol' me, for the moment, this applies to everyone), at least it is the case at IB, if you (however much experience and net...

I was not trying to patronize you. I asked if you actually trade options because of your seeming complete inability to understand the point I was trying to make. I believe your lack of understanding of the point I was trying to make was due to the fact that you probably have not traded options...

This thread must be very hungry, coming out of a 10-month hibernation.

Trade Futures and say "Screw you, S.E.C.!"

I think that it is similar to Pairs Trading. But since it's more than a pair, I like to call it Peers Trading. It's a stock peer-group.

I didn't want to give the impression that I claimed to have what could be called an Edge. But anyhow, here's my two-sentence method: I watch a handful of stocks, that all move together. Those stocks are MXIM, QLGC, QCOM, KLAC, NVLS, XLNX. Each day I simply look for which one of them has moved...

I know they have a Gamblers Anonymous. But do they have a Daytraders Anonymous? "Hello, my name is Bob, and I'm a Tradaholic!" Hi Bob! We're here for you. We support you. We've all been there. Bob: "I love you guys!" Remember, Bob, it's One Day At A Time Bob: "Oh, man, I hated...

No, I was well aware that you can't open a margin account with less than $2,000. I was simply trying to make one single point about options and the PDT rules, and you have not been able to grasp that point no matter how many times or how simply or how many ways I have tried to rephrase it so...

I'm glad I amuse you, but I wasn't trying to be funny. I will now make a confused face for your continued amusement. :confused: Notice the heat squiggles rising from the top of my bald head like you see rising off the pavement on a hot summer's day. Um, I hate to make a big build-up, or make...

Do it your own way. And I suggest look into Futures and Single Stock Futures rather than stocks and options. Don't worry too much about what anybody else says, and don't worry about watching news reports, news isn't as good of an indicator of what stocks will do as we usually start out thinking...

So, I shouldn't say my simple method here?

I think the basic supposition is whether a group of traders can come up with something more successful than the most successful trader working on his own already has come up with. If the answer is no, then that most successful trader will have no incentive in divulging his method to the...

If you lease a car, and a homeloan asks you the value of your car, you should say $0.00, because you don't own it. I understand that. However, having done that, the homeloan people have no business presuming to tell you how much or how far or how often you can drive that car which you are...

Clearly you still haven't gotten over your bitterness from your own past experiences. In that way you aren't very different from qdz and his vendetta against IB. Except that qdz's gripe actually was with IB, whereas your gripe was not with me, and you are merely lumping me with those you are...

I'm not saying that options shouldn't be regulated by the S.E.C. What I am saying (pay close attention, and read this carefully several times if necessary) is that the S.E.C. should not be telling me how often and in what timeframe I can trade options. They do this when they subject options to...

I got rid of the anxiety and depression when I stopped trading options and started trading futures. Time Decay is a mental illness. SSF: ask your doctor which SSF is right for you. Now available without a prescription.

Enthusiasm and simplicity are two qualities I appreciate. In fact, I have little else to offer, and I rather doubt I could pass your minimum requirements. I wonder what the costs of advertising on Elite Trader are? The main question is whether a collective effort could somehow result in...
