Boehner just told them that this was the "whites only" table.

"It was found that the public mind would not yet bear the proposition of emancipation and deportation of slaves, nor will it even bear it to this day. Yet the day is not distant when it must bear and adopt it, or worse will follow. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than...

Yep. We don't think Suggs has murdered anyone...that we know of anyway. Unlike Ray Lewis. There's a guy who watched and learned from OJ.

Phil needs to get a guy that can work this out. Get out of CA and find a guy that set him up as a foundation. Have the PGA pay his foundation instead of him, or something like that...get the PGA and endorsers to do funding as deferred income. He can't get out of everything, but the right guy can...

I've been with IB a long time as well. You have to look at what you would have sold the contract for vs. what your account window claimed the value to be at the time...that would give you the answer. I don't trade forex so I don't even know what that stuff looks like. I hear the tiniest of...

This happens regularly with IB across a number of products. The key is to make sure that you have enough excess liquidity to keep from getting auto-liquidated when the shenanigans are in process. They have certain "resets" during the cycle - one is at 1430 Eastern time - but not everything...

Not really news. They delayed some Fed employee 401K contributions (in the TSP G Fund) to help alleviate debt ceiling pressure. It will be paid back in full once the ceiling is lifted. They've done it before...hardly noticeable.

This place is dead. Evidence of which is that this thread has made it to 18 pages and growing.

Good luck with it! I think you are definitely on solid ground. Anything that's illiquid benefits from having additional parties post legitimate fillable orders, no matter the price...the regulators all seem to welcome that. In the old days, getting inside the bid/ask of illiquid stuff and...

Compliance is very powerful given the risk the firm assumes by engaging customer funds. They are the cops. They have the ability to freeze everything while sorting out the facts and making sure everything is as it should be. I would pursue your inability to log in aggressively until you...

As long as there weren't exigent market circumstances during the trade, it's highly likely that it will stand. As an example, when IB auto-liquidates customers for being over margin, some trades are very far from fair market value - and they stand. You may have an option that has a fair value...

If you enter a combo in Optiontrader and the price (provided by the system) is negative, that means you are getting a net credit for the trade.

An example might be helpful.

Sounds odd. Please keep us posted.

CNBC has been better lately. They've moved off some of the dead wood and the morning crew is pretty solid. They have some decent guests and ask many pertinent questions from what I've seen. Every time I scroll by Fox, they have some made up bimbo that doesn't seem to know the difference...

I agree. I've been here more than 10 years and I notice a lot more a$$hats here now, or at least a higher percentage of them. There are some seriously good traders that are still members, but only a few bother to post because of all the acrimony and BS that goes unchecked. I responded to...

Why do want my name? The OP asked a question about what was happening...and I gave him one scenario that occurs. I didn't say I do it, nor did I say that I even condone it...nor did I say that I condone any of the other activities I mentioned. Why is it these days on ET that nearly...

So is front running, pegging, gangbanging and a whole host of other "prohibited activities" that are quite regular occurrences.

You also have desks banging against each other. If they have clients that want to get long/short, the guy at the desk might find someone on another desk to take the other side, then they enter orders at about the same time. This is a win/win because both sides get the orders off without much...

Exactly. That's what I'm saying.
