    How good would you consider a trader is if they breakeven

    I think it is less about good or bad but whether it is a good or bad start. If, in recent months, -- say the last six months -- the pieces are truly beginning to fit together, he is sharpening his plan to reduce leaks, watching his diet and exercise etc. he may be positioned to make it. If...

    the US is falling apart both literally and figuratively

    Nicely phrased. Of course. What do you expect when a country is run by a house full of out-of-control whores? [/B]

    the US is falling apart both literally and figuratively

    Z ... I'm all for small gov't and more free enterprise but some bedrock base of transportation that costs trillions is a legitimate function of the common weal. Our problem is that big or small this is a corrupt piece of crap bloated system of lobbying and destructive power sharing that shares...

    Great rate, great service, great attitude

    I can't believe we are having conversations that include the 20,000 per side rate! Are there even five guys on ET that approach that volume. Let's get real. The overwhelming majority of traders on here are punching in fewer than 1,000 contracts a month which means very few can climb up the...

    Great rate, great service, great attitude

    I can understand someone commenting on a firm if they have had a good experience with them and I can just as well understand a comment from someone who has been disappointed by them. But WTF is it all about when someone jumps into a thread that has NOTHING but positive statements from clients...

    Do they charge these fees on both equity and futures options?

    Frank ... the rates are great as is the service. They give them to you unbundled and allow you to mix and match and I really like that approach. Are there pennies to be saved by going elsewhere? Yes ... and if you are trading enough contracts those pennies might tilt the decision. I looked...

    Julian Assange..

    While I'm not saying I agree with individuals unilaterally "declassifying" classified documents, I have windows in my home that are not as well framed as this guy.

    You get Howard Lender -- a seasoned pro and Deep Discounts owner -- to look after you. As far as I can tell he services customers 24/7 ... maybe 25/8 ... lol. He is truly the best. And he comes free. Same price and someone who knows how to treat a client. Win/Win!

    BTW, I use Rithmic data with Sierra Charts as my front end. I pay a premium price for Rithmic but even with that my "all-in-rate" is still terrific and I am working with the fastest and most dead on data I have ever used. As a swing trader the premium is only a couple of dollars a day -- well...

    Systematic rating agency bullsh.t resumes:Italy cut to A from A+

    While I wish this infamous cast of characters squeeze names did a better job for the residents of planet earth the fact is he is correct about the result. These slime balls increase volatility and in effect manufacture additional profitable trade opportunities. These clowns are money in the...

    If you take a look at the posted reviews you will see that the initial reviewer, an active poster here on ET, is Trade Metal. I have corresponded with him and he resides in Europe. He is very pleased with the service. In fact it was his review that prompted me to call.

    I think comintel's remarks about the clearing firm/introducing broker are largely correct. And when you take a look at how Crossland structures its business it is pretty clear they are setup for the professional trader -- "the local" -- rather than just the general public. The real tip off...

    Who believes there isn't a Gold bubble right now?

    I doubt we will ever see a 5 to 1 Gold silver ratio. I think both could run a long way over a decade but for silver to sell at that ratio is nearly inconceivable to me.

    Yes ... IB is great. And their Universal Account offers the added protection of a sweep to an SIPC insured account every night which, for those without vry lage accounts is much better than segregation. But Deep Discount has both options and futures -- enough for many traders -- and their...

    Great rate, great service, great attitude

    My entire life's experience is the exact opposite of the world you describe, emg. There is frequently no correlation -- and often an inverse correlation -- between price and quality/service. If these guys called me and asked me if they could change one thing to make me happier with there...
