    Unauthorized trades on my IB account.

    Don't be an asshat, you need to at least give IB the chance to look into what happened before you "report" it to a regulatory agency. Otherwise you're just being a dick to both the investigator who has to look into something that could be easily explained and to IB who could have easily...

    The Theory of Edge Diminishing

    And this reveals a complete and utter lack of understanding of basic statistics. Because you see I can have a hundred random number generators throw out 10 year bond "predictions" like yours and the first period about 50 of them would have, by your measures of success, correctly "predicted" the...

    France is low in science??!?!?

    Pretty intellectually dishonest article, quite frankly. For example, Columbia is pushing teachers to have students evaluate themselves in addition to their professor assigned grades as an opportunity to improve the students ability to self-assess, not replace professor assigned grades with self...

    The end of the World Trade Organization or WTO

    Again, there's clearly a translation issue with the word "censorship" to your native language or you're just not too bright, so to be charitable I'll go with the former. You alleged that the government was "censorship" with no evidence, now you claim news editors are practicing "censorship" by...

    The end of the World Trade Organization or WTO

    Just stop with the tinfoil hat conspiracy bullshit. There is no indication whatsoever that anything has been "censored" with regards to this, or that there is any government "censorship" in the U.S. that would preclude releasing information that has been widely known for literally months. It may...

    New York’s super-rich migrating south for better value

    I know, right? When Boars Head started selling throughout the US it was a game changer, a regression analysis on that vs the NE states' tax base would be interesting:D

    New York’s super-rich migrating south for better value

    The funny thing is that I could pull up an almost identical article from 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago.... People have been retiring from places like NY to places like FL for literally 50 years. None of these articles provide anything more than anecdotal "evidence" that this is...

    TD SPX Exchange fees

    Schwab still just charges $.65 per option plus a de minimis "exchange processing fee" of something like 1.7 cents per option, so interesting to see what emerges from the merger.

    Dumb media journalist questions?

    You can ask whatever you want, not for nothing they made the First Amendment first after all. Your employer is under no obligation to employ you if you are an asshole, or violate their employment policies. Despite the completely unsubstantiated and downright dangerous attacks on the concept of...

    who did this?

    I'm not sure you can get what you're after if that's the case. If you'd just left the order most brokers would only charge you one commission regardless of the number of orders it took to fill. If you designate all or none, which is also possible with most brokers, you don't get to change your...

    ‘Their house is on fire’: the pension crisis sweeping the world

    Seriously, banned again? I mean since I've been here the guy's been banned first as volpunter, then asiaprop, and now Grulstmrnn, and I think he had some previous lives before I was here. That's got to be a record for pathetic!

    The Theory of Edge Diminishing

    You seem stuck on this "thousands of people" idea. It's number of dollars than moves markets, not number of people. That's why any real edge gets arb'd away instantly when anyone with scale learns of it. It only takes one, not thousands.

    Creating a commercial account for your LLC type trading vehicle

    Exactly, any brokerage I do is just forex transactions to actually move money between affiliates. I imagine if you're just doing trading they give you a lot more know your customer grief, which is what it sounds like you're seeing.

    The Theory of Edge Diminishing

    Hit a nerve did we? Perhaps the one who is scared by idea of testable results shouldn't be throwing stones about "zero understanding of market [sic]".

    Does a disciplined trader smoke weed (?)

    They are in fact medical doctors who simply chose psychiatry as a specialty, so basically your family doctor plus some extra years of training and residence. You, on the other hand, appear to have difficulty stringing together a coherent sentence let alone possessing the ability to comprehend...

    Creating a commercial account for your LLC type trading vehicle

    They are happy to open an account if it's an actual operating company. I've had no problem with setting up accounts in several countries (although not France) although I've never had a commercial bank ask me how much I planned to have on deposit as an opening criteria, have you? It actually...

    Does a disciplined trader smoke weed (?)

    Where did you get your MD in psychiatry again? What a bunch of jumbled up bullshit, sounds like a poorly remembered mishmash of news articles someone read while high over the past 10 years.

    The Theory of Edge Diminishing

    That's a very insightful set of observations, both your original and your current idea. One edge is the ability to realize what has been enabled by a new development before anyone else does which you exploit until everyone else figures it out. Use of commission free trading fits that.

    The Theory of Edge Diminishing

    And if you think you have some special kind of non-replicable, non-testable "personal ability" that allows you to make "predictions" you're in good company with everyone from the Greek Oracles to modern day fortune tellers. There isn't anyone with this kind of "personal ability" in the "few...
