    Ebay vs. Amazon for selling?

    I was thinking that too, but my worry is getting paid with somewhat well made funny money or having to deal with shooting someone trying to rob me. I know our police department has spots out front for Craigslist deals, maybe will give it a try first and save the fees of the other two. I talked...

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    Just a question, not trying to be an ass, just an honest question , and sorry if you answered it somewhere else in the thread and I missed, but if you are having a problem with the E2T platform that doesn't seem to be a problem elsewhere why do you continue to battle and waste time on it? You...

    Ebay vs. Amazon for selling?

    Curious if anyone has thoughts on the differences between the two for selling? I have stuff from my parents house that has been sitting in our basement and I would like to reclaim our basement. Some of the stuff is artworks, china, 5 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes, that don't fit myself or sons...

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    Wh Why would you have to trade the micros? You can start out with 2 minis on the $50000 plan from what I see, and build as you make profit if you desire. Personally I'm not a fan of the $500 margin per contract for the minis. I see it leading to people getting murdered trading way to big for...

    Sicilian La Cosa Nostra

    The mafia and gangs crack me up to no end. They are all such tough talking weasels. They rat each other out and kill each other all the time. They are such great families, what a joke. I have no grasp how people buy into their "codes", they break them all the time when they go into panic mode...

    Trading FOMC reaction: Got a strategy?

    I do, and have been using it for quite a few years, and other than having to reverse on occasion it has been a very good trade(s).

    Bye bye IB, hello Schwab

    I'll throw this out to you as I have had to contact both IB and Schwab twice in the last two weeks. IB I actually was able to get through to support within 5 minutes and have an issue resolved in under 5 minutes. Schwab my first call involved about 20 minutes to get an answer via chat. The 2nd...

    IB MES commissions today

    I just took a micro russell and usual .47 a side. I'm not going to debate your experience with customer service, but mine has been very good the past couple of years. Last week I had a platform problem and was able to get a hold of a tech agent fairly quickly and they were knowledgeable and...

    Anyone else hit the burnout point with trading?

    Exercise is what helps me keep it together also. My wife notices when I miss a few days in a row that I'm a bigger pain in the ass than usual. I work out in the evening and have been for years, but am thinking moving it to the morning maybe the way to go to help with my mindset. I know at night...

    Anyone else hit the burnout point with trading?

    Thank you for the input and ideas. Short term I spent last night working through some of this and coming up with a couple of at least temporary changes partly as a result of what I read here. First example is right now, I'm taking a break from the markets. I still have the charts open, but...

    Anyone else hit the burnout point with trading?

    I've been at it 17 years fulltime and I do well enough to pay for kids educations, the house , etc, but the last couple years I am hitting a wall of feeling sick and tired of doing this day in and day out. I've looked into expanding into different things like more complex option work, but can't...

    Anyone else having Anti-Virus say the certificate invalid on update?

    Thanks for the video! Everything I've ever read concludes that yes, Linux is a better option. These days as Trader Curt points out, you can do pretty much everything with Linux that you can with Windows OS as your base.

    Anyone else having Anti-Virus say the certificate invalid on update?

    I have a good friend who does exactly as you are doing and is after me to make the switch. At this point the only thing stopping me is laziness. When I have to get a new computer the plan is to go ahead and make the change.

    Anyone else having Anti-Virus say the certificate invalid on update?

    I have ever since we had three boys. :)) They are out of the house, mostly, at this point, but I still feel better with it. My trading computer actually never does anything else, but trade, even still I have it on there for an added layer of security in case I end up surfing on it at some point.

    Anyone else having Anti-Virus say the certificate invalid on update?

    I ended up turning off the Firewall portion of Norton and the install went through. That was from tech support and they suggested if it happens in the future to download from the website to bypass the platform installer.

    40% Off Gauntlet Mini™ $50,000 Account

    Is the potential offer different between the Gauntlet and mini Gauntlet? Just curious as the two time frames are so different and it is easy to see that the longer term one gives the company more proof that the person isn't having a lucky streak or hit a trending easy market to make bank. Also...

    Anyone else having Anti-Virus say the certificate invalid on update?

    As it starts to install the latest update, my Norton pops up a warning that the security certificate is invalid. Usually I can by pass when I get these warnings, but it isn't letting me go through with the update. Curious if anyone else is getting this with the newest update? Getting a lot...

    Total lawlessness in Minnesota

    One of my sons just sent me some video he shot last night while on the 9th floor of a building he works. With night as the background it looks like a war zone. Fires blazing, and can hear what sounds like a couple of gunshots.
