movies bad attitudes movies about bad attitudes also tension headaches (Yeah: but the pizza is GREAT.)

"...as well as injunctions." Holy Cow! He STOLE thousands and thousands of dollars! He's the thief with the pen (computer mouse), who walks with a slap, versus the schmuck who gets a lifetime for filling a paper bag from the bank teller. "Disgorgement of [his] ill-gotten gains." {head shaking....}

I love the fact that we've all got our tweaks, that all stem from such a variety of experiences. Different 'net delivery, different CPU protocol, different RAM/RAM-disk/etc configurations,... we still deal with different Java vintages, etc etc etc...... It tells me that I am not so alone, when...

Nah. At least, not in my case: I am but a trained parrot, 'standing on the shoulders of giants'.....

E-GADS. okay, well, a 14ms ping is pretty swift, but how that gets followed with a 7?!?!? Mbps upload??? Which makes (some!) sense, when paired with a glacial 1.7Mbps download?!?!? Dude -- I'm no 'net weenie, but SHEEESH -- I would need a SHAVE by the time TWS got booted. I mean, THAT'S SLOW...

A lot of work! Thank you for publicizing it. I would love to know your ping and round trip Mbps times -- a'la http://www.speedtest.net/

"Gamblers work for results, while the casino works the process."

That leaves us with a systematically tradeable event, but one that depends on the fine-grain level of the options -- strike price as a % of underlying -- and/or, how close/far in time. Smooth mathematical functions (stemming from lots of time or many listed strikes) can get plenty stair-stepped...

IB's Friends&Family FA does not permit any fees/$$-flows to go to the FA. While recovery of other fees (permissions/data/news/etc) can be jiggered with the FA account,"FA-*generated*" fees re-class the account as Professional, the client accounts are no longer Friends&Family, and the FA will be...

DON'T DE-FRAG YOUR SSD! Dirty little secret is that that great habit for a hard drive EATS SOLID-STATE DRIVES.

TWS is like coffee. (Trading is like Life.) We are all stuck high on a mountain, in a three-sided shelter -- secure against the tumult of weather.... mostly. But wouldn't a good cup 'o Joe do you just *fine* right about now? And then Ibidem gets up from his blankies and says, "Hey guys -- *I'*...

Hey Gloria, you started off about 3X ETFs, as if they were a bad thing, right? What is it that you don't like? That they perform as advertised? Wild thought, Gloria: just how *do* they get those 3X results, anyway? Hmmmmm, maybe those derivatives (which anyone can buy/sell) should be...

"Be careful out there."

Since this is not related to your original post, it appears as a non-sequitor. If you wish to bring up Lehman's ills and last gasp: "On September 15, 2008, the firm filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following the massive exodus of most of its clients, drastic losses in its stock, and...

You started this thread to opine that simply having a 3X instrument around was bad, dangerous, and a hazard to public health. What you are not understanding is that whether *you* wish to engage in some specific act or not..... IS YOUR CHOICE. De gustibus non est disputandem: tastes are not to...

Say those who cannot do either one.

Following what MattZ wrote, what might be better is either a commercial platform's free sim (where available) or even something as simple as CNBC, or MarketWatch, SeekingAlpha -- anywhere that lets you form/trade a portfolio. If it has indexes and futures, all the better. If it has options on...

You lost the freebie route here a while back, genius. Now there's only Google for you. Go teach yourself. Or maybe you're more comfortable getting your trading skills from Youtube? :D:D:D;):D:D:wtf::D:D:D:p

Spectre2007, that is one awesome set of posts -- a lot of work for the ET crowd. I would suggest a "Technical Modern Trader & Commodities"* article, straight away. [That would help *me*, anyway, to get beyond those first two posts....to where I missed steps along the way.] * kinda like...

Don't do it, lylec305. You are attempting to sate a brainless troll, whose non-comprehensions are well-documented throughout this thread. The rest of us know the history of market options, the role they have played in risk transfer for 400+ years, and the service provided by those that trade in...
