Thank you neutrino. Evidently Tums can't read. I thought I would give some background to my answer. First, I have withdrawn money from IB for years, having it sent to my bank account. No hitches at all, ever. Now, let me also reiterate what another poster said just above here. We have...

Of course it matters where the page comes from. Because it doesn't exist as a part of the regular IB website information on margin. When you execute a futures contract mid-day, you're using intraday rates as set forth on the webpage I linked. Somehow, you managed to take a relatively...

I see what your link says. Unfortunately, I cannot find your link on my own by going to the Interactive Brokers home page. For instance, here are the links I find: http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/marginRequirements/margin.php?p=f&ib_entity=llc...

How does it work when you're "staked"? OldTrader

I definitely remember him as a philospher. Nice guy. I'm glad to see he won the bracelet. Good for him. And thanks Pabst for posting the news. OldTrader

Or 3) there are better ways to accomplish this. But thanks for the info. OldTrader

OK, I more or less knew this in a sort of generalized way. I thought you were saying this could all be accomplished after death. What I was attempting to say in my post earlier was that IF you gave an asset to a beneficiary after death as the OP seems to believe you can do, then it would...

Thanks for the info. Maybe it's obvious from your post, but I just want to clarify this for myself. Are you saying you can shift assets from a decedent to a trust, in other words, after death? Who is empowered to do this and by what means? OldTrader

Glad to see someone around. LOL. OldTrader

It occurred to me. But on a down day for instance, it would need to keep declining since every 5 minute reading would make it more negative. Looking at the example Becky posted, it didn't look like it was doing that. In fact, it looks like it takes a difference between A and D, then plots the...

OK, I'm closing the other half of my long ES out at 1292.50. Profit on this half is just under 12 points. Don't particularly want to be long into the news. OldTrader

No, I don't see any humor at all in your posts. Here's one you posted just today....was this also an example of humor? By the way, you don't have to post you're quitting on the internet. But you did. LOL. When you're a moron, nothing can help you. OldTrader

Just a small point, but according to Barrons, every day last week we traded more than 3244. So I would guess that number is out of date. Here's a link to Barrons. Scroll down to NYSE Composite Daily Breadth: http://online.barrons.com/public/page/mlab_trading_diary.html You can also...

Here's what your opening post said in your thread: From this we learn you've been a part-time trader for a year, who cannot follow a plan, have decided trading is not for you, and that you're quitting. Evidently you have not reached a "successful" level (you heard it takes 5 years)...

Steve: Don't know if this post was directed at me, since I first used the number "3200". In any event, I've been careful not be critical of Becky's system. In fact, I don't really know what her system is. However, as to the NYSE A/D statistics, the total is 3200. This includes both...

Here's what gets me about this post of yours. I've been trading for several decades, successfully. One of the things I look at is the A/D line. I didn't say it was the only thing, but it's one thing. I said it provides context for price action. Now, I recall reading a thread of yours...

Let me see if I can clarify this for you. On the NYSE there is a total of something like 3200 issues that trade on any given day. For instance, today, 3287 issues traded. Obviously some issues advance, and some decline. A few are unchanged. Today at the close we had 1321 Advancers on the...

Obviously by giving it to the "beneficiary", it removes it from the estate. I don't see how it doesn't avoid estate taxes....IF in fact it exists as you say it does. OldTrader

OK, if Ameritrade and E. Jones really do it, then switch your account there. But again, I've never heard of a setup of this type. Think about this for a minute: when you die, unless the assets go to a joint holder, then your asset are potentially subject to estate tax, depending on whether...

I've never heard of a "beneficiary" to a brokerage account other than an IRA. Maybe it's just me. Or then again, maybe it's you and your lawyer. That said, you could put your money in an LLC, and then set up these so-called beneficiaries as members of the LLC. You would be the managing...
