The Ontario Securities Commission has a simple online form to file a complaint, check it out: http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/documents/en/Investors/frm_20100818_complaint_en.pdf Their site even gives you the contact info for filing a small claims dispute: Small Claims Court Up to...

This drubbing is getting a bit ridiculous. Of course, the market can remain irrational longer then one can remain solvent.

No matter how they draft the rules, the bottom line for a trader who views this program is to ask the following: 1. Can I do this? 2. What are the alternatives? It's a numbers game. If they have enough traders who take the challenge, then eventually they will find good traders. Whether...

Yes, your guess sounds right, they're looking for traders who can choose the optimal 10 days within the month, and the optimal 20 days within two months for the 20-day combine. Patak posted that the issue of changing the number of days traded had been discussed among the scouts, however I'm...

Damn, I didn't even realize that feature, lol! It was greyed out, so I just thought it's not available on the sim. Of course, you have to change the "None" to "Custom" on the DOM, then you can set the ATM targets. Ninja said you can't place and OCO order on the sim (the paid version is...

Good point. The unfortunate drawback of the T-4 during the trial period is you cannot view your stats beyond one session. For that one has to get the separate practice account. However, one can also get a sim account on Ninja for 30 days to test out that platform before deciding to pay the...

Edit: The 27 days I mentioned is not correct, since a Sunday open goes through the Monday close, thereby counting as one trading session. I thought TST would count that as two days.

I thought my point was clear, perhaps not. When I meant "ANY" of the days, it was in reference to trading ANY day within the calendar month, with a minimum of ten. For example, in October there were 27 days when the futures markets were trading (I'm counting Sunday as a day, and let's...

I definitely agree. Given all the recently funded CL traders, perhaps TST will change their motto from "Become A Successful Futures Trader" to "Become a Successful CL Trader". :D

It is currently not "AT LEAST" ten days or twenty days, it's "ONLY" ten days or twenty days, no less, no more. The combine would shut off after your 10th day of trading on the 10 day combine, and on the 20th day of trading on the 20 day combine. You can still use their chat room, even if you...

Your perspective is correct IN THEORY, however for the purposes of passing the combine, trading the larger account size is much more difficult as the parameters are not the same. Review the 8 different combines and compare the difference. My gripe with the TST model is the time limit...

Actually, that's not quite correct. If there's a news event over the weekend, or even between a break from one session to the next, gaps can and DO occur. They are not as frequent as stocks, from what I've noticed. I think that's what Maverick was trying to imply. However, TST doesn't...

Well, it's always a matter of trust, regardless of where you have equity/capital at stake. The reason why many equity traders inquire about Bright and Echo on these boards is due to their solid history, reputation and financials. Those who have been burned by a prop that goes bust without...

Every pullback to the 200 day moving average has been a killer buy since 2010. The price action today was quite troublesome for the longs, however if the market gets the "post election/Xmas rally" and AAPL trades above the 200 with conviction, then you may have added at the optimal point.

Regarding your three points above: 1) You are capped on daily losses in the live account, and cannot hold beyond one session, which reduces their liability. I'm not sure about what happens if there's a "flash crash" type of event, probably something to ask them. You have "monetary...

Trading platforms are subjective. The "best" for one may not be the best for another. Regarding fees, you may want to check out these brokers: http://mbtrading.com/commissions.aspx?page=Stocks https://speedtrader.com/Fees_Commissions.aspx http://www.lightspeed.com/?page_id=5061...

Some futures products are still trading, CL, 6E and 6A. Money never sleeps. :D

I'm having a "deja-vu" of the Team Trading debacle, lol. Yes, you're absolutely right, they will bet on people owed small amounts to do nothing. However, it's not very expensive when you consider all of your options: 1. Filing a complaint with the regulators doesn't cost anything. We...

When Team Trading folded, two traders organized a Yahoo group by posting messages on these boards, and many traders who they didn't have contact information for ended up joining the group (around 80+ traders, myself included). If you do end up creating a Yahoo group then you can organize...

Well stated. Although I've read and agree with the posts who claim you can get a better rates on commissions and keep 100% with your own retail account, what one must take into consideration if you're new to futures and pass the combine, there is NO MONTHLY COST to have the live account (if...
