    I finally got my letter..

    It ain't gonna be (tax)free for much longer - only a matter of time before all these employer-provided benefits become taxed as income to pay for someone else's insurance, Cadillac plan or not.

    Platform suitable for multibroker FX

    If you intend to open a trade with one broker/bank/liquidity provider and close the trade with another, you will need a prime account to settle those trades. Also, you won't find this ability with most of these fx brokers. The are a few shops however who have an aggregate feed from various...

    Which broker do you recommend for day trading?

    OP asks about firms for trading stocks and you recommend global futures. Friggin' idiot. No wonder you can't grasp this thing called trading and keep jumping around the asset board like a crack whore looking for your next fix.

    Which broker do you recommend for day trading?

    Scottrade is a firm for investing, not day-trading. If you are serious about day trading equities, you will need a direct-access broker (one where you have ECN access) which will "help" you get the best possible prices for your trades. Choices: IB, MBT, Genesis, Assent, Lightspeed...

    How I lost 10 grand to IB popups

    IB is a good futures broker with Ninja Trader as a front end for trading. Where else will you find a futures broker with SIPC protection? (Does TOS sweep funds like IB?) In fact, commissions are better than most others, like TOS, Mirus or Amp. That being said, their intraday margins for...

    That employee's attitude is in direct conflict with that of his boss: http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/company-news-story.aspx?storyid=201001211236dowjonesdjonline000582&title=update-nasdaq-ceo-proposed-transaction-tax-will-hurt-growth

    Google privacy violation

    what if you revert your email format back to the "older version" as available along the bottom? Does that help secure your info since there is no buzz or chat option present?

    Moderator Out of Control!!!

    Why does surf need to constantly keep returning to this site? What's his fascination with it? If I was banned as many times as he has, I'd think about haunting a different site. Kinda juvenile to try and keep coming back under sock puppet after sock puppet.

    BYW, T3 had a hot chick in a tube dress working the crowd with a badge scanner.

    New York Traders Expo 2010

    It's the NYC Traders Expo, not the DC and Surrounding Areas Expo. DC comes to a standstill when it starts to flurry. I think all this snow is one of the reasons that drove Byah out of DC.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    I think that when Madonna started supporting this tax it is safe to say that it jumped the shark, as it were.

    "Personal guarantee" required when trading under a company ?

    That's the "soft pull" I was referencing earlier. It doesn't show up as a hard pull (the kind that dings your credit), more like just sniffing around.

    Indiana's Evan Bayh to retire from Senate

    I also wonder if he will now vote for reconciliation of the health bill now that he doesn't have to worry about voter backlash in a Red State Indiana.

    Indiana's Evan Bayh to retire from Senate

    His stepping down when he is ahead in the polls by double digits is HUGE. I don't believe it is an acknowledgment of defeat but more a slap across the face of the Dems to get their act together and govern.

    Finding and negotiating with a Prime Broker

    I think that would be much appreciated (and what this site is supposed to be all about).

    "Personal guarantee" required when trading under a company ?

    Corporate accounts are used to insulate the owners from operational losses (trading, bakery, bars...doesn't make a difference) and a corporate account without much, if any, track record will be asked for this guarantee, not just for trading, but for stuff like rents, credit lines, equipment...

    exchange access fee

    yeah they do. Example - compare the fees from this firm against the actual ecns or even other firms (prop and retail) to see how they don't pass thru fees w/o skimming: http://www.broadstreettrading.com/ecn.htm
