He was either manic/depressive (most likely) or simply suffering as suggested from chronic depression. I think he was not broke when he committed suicide (and I doubt that would have meant much to him if he were chipper and in good health) but more likely had simply realized that his illness...

While the size of their position is reputed to be very large and these losses could increase, even if it ends up at three or even four billion those are not life threatening for a bank of their scale. Hey ... trading has risk. And big highly leveraged trades have big risk. They know that...

There is obviously some Iran/political risk in the price of oil. It could be that in addition to inventories the sanctions and behind the scenes conversations are producing an easing of attitudes. That said, trade price not fantasy!

I have Rithmic with two brokers and three platforms: Ninja, Sierra Charts and R/Trader. First class data. Works well on Sierra and Ninja and, of course, R/Trader as that is one of their house platforms.

Here is what you get with Deep Discount: * Howard -- meticulous, quick service and problem solving days, nights, weekends. He is unbelievably client focused. Great guy! * Great rates. * Wide range of platforms and data. Rithmic or CQG data were prerequisites for me. It all stats...

Makes sense. I'll do just that. Thank you.

yes ... running windows 7 and the computers main clock is accurate.

That's ridiculous. The IRS takes a look at the recent trading in the private placement market for unregistered shares and values it. If his return has valued it differently he will lose the battle. Value it a zero? That's truly delusional.

It was world class infrastructure but it is now rapidly decaying. And if you add in the intellectual infrastructure -- schools, job training etc. -- it is already quite broken. No society can survive without political leadership that is willing to make a hard decision or two on finance. If we...

My wife just got an Inspiron 14Z i5 laptop and there is an AccuWeather image on the screen that includes the time. It gets set by city -- NYC -- but shows up as an hour later. We tried to set it to Atlantic time (by picking San Juan) and it still reads the hour off. But the real problem is...

I like the quote. Do you know which character?

I don't think he was suggesting that segregated funds would be transferred but, in fact, there is no law or regulation preventing IB (or any B/D) from taking a healthy chunk of their capital that is above their net capital requirement and investing it in an affiliated company such as TH. The...

Are these buyers offering $.90 on the dollar?!!!! If it is based on the balance in your account without any other haircut, which I doubt, GRAB IT.

Fighter pilots deal with moving targets yet they practice a bit. To say you cannot practice trading (as opposed to practice is only part of the equation) makes little sense to me.

At the peak of his power when JP Morgan was clearly the most potent financial force in the world, his bank was not the biggest. To the extent that any broker's financial statement is comprehensible (rehype etc.), IB's is an impressive one. When you take a look at how they handle margin in...

What an I missing here? He's not interested in a JBO and his needs seem quite ordinary. There must be a dozen firms (or two, or three dozen) that can handle this $500,000 account.

I don't trade equities so I have no experience with them but they have a stellar rep and clear through Goldman. I would certainly check them out. https://www.gracefg.com/HOMEPAGE.html

Rolando, I'll try to say this in a helpful way without sarcasm. You need to toughen up your view of the brokerage world or you will be eaten alive. If God recommends a firm in Belize or anyplace else where the electricity only works 18 hours a day tell him to send his money there and report...

I like a girl who comes right to the point. Don't pick on her guys. The world needs more like her!

If you ask Maverick 74 he is likely to know if the type of shop you seek is out there. I know next to nothing about prop but since the trading you describe requires prop type capital and they are spreads seems a natural for someone to open if it doesn't exist. And, considering that it scales...
