I don't see anything about the cost of borrowing. There's an ad that runs asking about margin cost that claims IB is at least 1/2 the cost of the other brokers.

Any data to back this up?

I have Office 365 Family> Works just fine for updating portfolios at the end of the day.

Summary Overall, there is no evidence that PFOF harms price execution. In the end, we find that our price differences are due to different brokers getting different execution prices for the exact same trade at the same venue. Indeed, wholesalers, unlike exchanges, are not required to treat...

They (the authors) made a days worth of trades and found a 167 dollars difference in account values. I assumed the difference came from bid ask spreads or where market orders were filled. They didn't say. Thats the cost per trade I was referring to.

It would have been nice if they mentioned the cost per trade. They threw around big numbers but the numbers involved in the US markets are huge. For instance it would have been nice to know why the discrepancy in the first trades they made and if it was always the same broker who cost the most...

It kind of looks to me like you are buying stocks then finding reasons to have bought them, rather than having reasons and buying stocks when they meet you criteria. The stocks that are being recommended to you seem to have already had their run. Scanning for new highs would have alerted you to...

Ya gotta trade what the market gives you.

I'm with Newton and likewise I have acess 24/7. Although I can trade commission free there is still the spread which is in the 0.75% area. Also the trades are in $Cad so I eat the spread there also. I can move my BTC to a cold wallet so if I ever accumulate a significant amount I'll be doing...

I've tried to explain it to you before. If you owned all the bitcoin and all the shares of AMZN how are you going to make any money. BTC has no income. AMZN is a business with revenue. I know, I know you won't ever own all of either. I'm just trying to point out the BTC doesn't produce anything...

Pretty well. I'm a momo speculator. I buy stuff that's going up and sell it when it changes trend. I'm in the game to make money. Can't make money holding onto an asset that is trending down. It does help with some stocks that you have fundamentals that convince others to buy from you. The only...

well John where are you going to go to find a buyer when you decide to sell? Probably an exchange but maybe not maybe you'll just spend them. You had 20 coin now 18. Pretty good for a holder. Had to sell to support family, what happened to all your cash? Living a pretty expensive lifestyle...

Where do you think I would go to find greater fools? I'm not going out on the street and asking completet strangers!! You find them lined up at the exchanges. Ask them why they are buying BTC and they'll tell you cause it has to go up. Read the book.LOL As per usual, when you have no answer...

Is that why you are so pissed with me because you aren't doing so good since you heard of me? You know it's not my fault!! We first interacted in the thread "Can you beat someone who religiously buy and hold bitcoin from inception with trading?" (post #55) You challenged me that theory was...

Can't say I haven't tried. When we first started talking I thought you had put enough away for a couple years of crypto winter.

I've been trying to convince john of that for some time now. I think I'm getting through to him although he won't admit it.

If you know what's going to happen you could do really well if you enter and exit correctly, pretty well sums it up!:rolleyes:

Doesn't the same problem exist with block and ignore? Either way you don't get to see a quoted post that someone else is responding to.

An assumption on my part when you mentioned that money is everything and without it you will be sad. I equted that to being rich. My bad! Grateful is an excellent term. You don't need money to be grateful for what you have. So what makes you happy besides posting on ET.

It is hard to understand when you step from the individual trade. Your brokerage sends you a statement at the end of each month. The value of your investments change. Your liquid networth is calculated based on the current price of your assets. It would be hard to put up a security as...
