    Any tips about day trading using IB?

    Use another data feed and charting package (like ESignal) for your IB trades. If you are a serious daytrader, the couple of xtra dollars a day is minimal.

    missed work beacause i was in jail overnight - advice please

    Get a lawyer. Any plea made in court has a certain time limit in which you could withdraw the plea before it becomes permanent. Depending on the state, you have anywhere from 20 days to 45. Don't delay. Monday go to a lawyer and check your options.

    IB TWS too complex

    What he said. You can use NinjaTrader with your broker AND TWS. (only a couple more dollars a month for multiple broker access) It is perfect for futures and fx trading and it is far superior a tool to use with TWS than anything else, and since you are familiar with it, learning curve is...

    "I wore gloves so my fingerprints would not be found on the envelope." Listening to this guy, he sounds like a tin hat is his preference of hat wear. This guy is a fruit loop.

    I'm not happy with MBTrading

    minimum size on retail is 1000. but read info above about fxcm. It seems they are just buying the assets - don't know if they intend to use the the hotspot platform or one of their own. On institutional level, min is 500k w/100k balance to open.

    I'm not happy with MBTrading

    Wow! That really sucks! I didn't see that. Scratch what I said then about Hotspot unless you have 100k to go on the institutional level. Like Reaver said, Run! Don't walk as far away from FXCM as you can. Any broker that does not charge a commish is manipulating prices, no matter what he says.

    Finra: The End Of Fx Leverage!

    Won't fly. It would just move it off-shore. Plus, how can they justify such low margins when the futures equivalent is leveraged at rates higher than 1.5:1? Looks like they are angling (haggling?) for a 20:1 level similar to most futures contracts.

    Crash after 1/4% transaction tax? Don't bet on it!

    NYTimes op-ed piece about 1 week ago. Those in power in DC now have similar sympathies with those expressed in this rag. And since we all know Congress can't think straight when it comes to money, be afraid. Be very afraid!
