    considering buying a brokerage firm

    I also have purchased businesses in the past. You would be amazing the ways that people can hide expenses and overstate profits. Paying off the books, not paying taxes, not paying for proper licenses and permits, required fines that somehow do not show up until after you buy in, overinflated...

    Pro Traders...please tell me what I'm doing wrong - how can I change it ?

    Candle patterns have not tested particularly well. You are not going to get a serious edge by doing this. Without pointing to anyone in particular, remember you are talking to anonymous posters, without any way to verify whether they know what they are doing. And most of them do not...

    Amsterdam Trader needs to hang Series 3

    "in return maybe start a part-time European operation for you here in Amsterdam." The purpose of the website, is to not shroud "helping fellow traders" with "seeking commercial opportunities" This should have been obvious, as every forum pretty much has the same desire not to receive spam...

    I am very new and need help

    Yes, when someone names "Jack Hershey" shows up and starts offering you 50 paragraph posts containing bizarre graphs and none of it makes any sense... Run in the other direction!!!

    12 countries with the highest lowest tax rates

    IF the USA is 85.3, and the 3 illustrative US states are all higher, would be curious where the cheapest place is (no sales tax, no income tax - Dakotas? Wyoming? Other?) coupled also with cost of living, which does not even register...

    How much futures brokers make?

    Cannot remember the last serious conversation with a true futures broker, unless you count the help desk/support. Most traders place their own trades via software/browser, unless they are newbies. Does anyone seriously phone in their orders to a live person any more?
