churn and burn is excessive buying and selling stock for the sole purpose of generating commissions

Nah, they just kissed and held hands.

It will never happen because.... Obama and his sycophants refuse to use the word terrorist or terrorism. BTW, could you imagine the cry from the press corps if Bush pre-selected reporters and their questions PRIOR to the start of a press conference? Where is the press outcry for...

I can't believe you guys actually didn't see this coming!

From this month's Futures Magazine: Risk control and holding open losses For forex traders, there is a constant focus on the search for a good trade. But successful forex trading involves much more than selecting direction. It requires managing the total account. Even a good trader can...

The politics of this thread aside, this kinda has me curious to how this affects one's info for their trades. If you are trading on limits and stops. doesn't really make a difference, but market orders can get significant slippage if the data you are trading on is behind what is printed at the...

It has nothing to do with you own computer clock. If you look at the CME quote graph and compare it to your Ninja graph you will see that the price bars on the NT graph is a full minute behind the CME feed, which means that the info on your feed (and the zen feed I mentioned) is a minute behind...

A followup, but I just checked a zen-fire feed (didn't have one so I signed up for one of those free demos by Mirus and such) and it shows prices are also a minute behind the CME feed. What's up with that? I thought zen-fire was supposed to be one of the best! Or is the demo feed on zen-fire...

Not sure what data feed you are using but it appears to be a full minute behind this CME feed (coming from the CME would make it the defacto data reference for products traded) - if you are actively trading, I'd check that feed

I think anyone with half a brain already has figured him out. But like a few of us have already requested and he initially said he would do is to post his daily run. Shut us up and prove he his not full'o'sht. It's really that simple.

And the number fudging begins. So I guess you WILL NOT post your runs "later today or tomorrow" like you said, huh?

You know the old political mantra: don't let the facts get in the way of the truth!

you are all aware that his money mangement plan (if a true trading plan) is only effective up to a point, as global (his broker) does not extend this lower margin beyond 25 contracts. So IF his account accrues to $17,500, his money management principle becomes moot as he will no longer be...

real dumbass maneuver

Does anyone believe that there was not some tag-teaming going on here? Gates and Obama with a one-two punch, so to speak. Idiot uncle Joe was there to balance the color and not make it seem like Crowley was getting a lecture from the other two. This was a farce and nothing but a picture taking...

you know, there's a hundred and seventy-two other IB threads you can spam wit this nonsense since you feel a need to stray outside the original thread you started. what are your other id's per chance?

Compliance at your new job has to get copies of your trading statements, whether they look at them or not. Since IB doesn't actually send out any statements, I think the responsibility falls on you to provide the statements.

Why bother putting a link in your post if you are going to copy/paste the entire article? Or rather, why copy/paste the ENTIRE article if you are going to include a link to the article?

They (you know, they) have got to force them to seperate the prop trading division from the rest of the firm.

Dude, just let him crash and burn if you truly believe his is a fraud. If he can't back his claims with visible proof of his trading then we will all know soon enough. (and if he comes here in a few days and calls everyone suckers for hanging on his every word, then everyone will think twice...
