I posted someone in the journals forum who said he traded for Maverick. However, he never responded to the question above. Anyone know anything about the firm ? http://www.mavericktrading.com/index.php

Exactly. I traded prop with a firm that eventually went belly-up. It took 8 weeks and a lot of legal work to get my deposit back. Yes, their technology was also crap....didn't support stop orders of any nature (local, server, exchange). Then I looked for another firm.....and I came across the...

Sure do. I was using the desktop platform as of 6 months ago..... is it still downloadable on the TOS website I wonder ?

Wierd - I only see a button for the WEB BASED TOS platform.

Huh ? I just logged on.....and under the Trading Tools tab there is: Overview, TDAmeritrade.com, Trade Architect, Mobile Where's the TOS platform download ?

So the Java-based TOS trading platform will stay alive and supported then ?

Of course he is.....I'm impressed he's able to "sell" this service. What Trading Academy is missing is a "tie-in" to a prop shop. However, that may be missing because no prop shop wants to partner with them. I was actually seriously considering signing up until I discovered the tie-in was...

re: so that great TOS trading platform built in Java is no longer ? Does the TD platform have those great option analytics ?

Good thoughts all....but did you ever consider analysis-paralysis ? Another good example is the Euro....as after much analysis and explanation many called for parity with the USD 6 months ago. Here were are today at what...1.44 ? Too much thinking can drive you crazy with these markets.

You're too emotional..... 11:40 pm - EDT: Stocks trading in Asia shake off early losses to trade in positive territory. Hong Kong gains early.

In crisis markets, Monday typically over-reacts due to weekend balance checkers doing the panic bit..... watch for a key reversal day. If not Monday, then Tuesday.

Of course not...because those countries are EXCEPTIONS to the rest of the European socialist world. Why ? First of all, see my prior post on all those govt workers in DC with Bimmers in their driveway. They are supporting GERMANY, not the USA. Secondly, Scandinavian countries are doing well...

Yes, bull spread makes sense here for Sept. Looks like all of the action was/is in the 25 Aug puts.... 32,000 contracts open interest !! BTW: why not 1:2 ? Chances of going above 30 look so minimal right now.

That would be LOBBIESTS....aka "sharpie Lawyers"....hired by large corporations. They effectively let them in. Other people of influence like Gabriel Gifford.....were all for this. http://programmersguild.blogspot.com/2008/03/us-rep-gabrielle-giffords-targets-us.html She was "influenced" as well.

TBT August 24's definitely will be rocking to tomorrow....wow, the premiums are incredible. I can't believe TBT was at 30+ just 2 weeks ago !!

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2008/12/uaw-workers-actually-cost-the-big-three-automakers-70-an-hour Sorry mon ami.....and I was "off" as well. The number is a whopping $70 per hour !!

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Government employes proven to be less than HALF as productive as private sector workers. Theoretically, if half of those govt workers were laid off, it should produce 20 million jobs in the private sector. Right now the US economy is shackled by too many high paying govt...

New lows.....23.35. Well, at least I called it. I knew if equities tanked, the dumb money would come flying into bonds. Now where is the bottom ? I guess now that I'm asking it, it's probably finally at this level !!

TBT back down once again....nearing 52 week lows. If S&P 500 retests recent lows....there's even more downside here. But I would say this next move is the final one down.

Absolutely true and this has had a major dilutive effect on wages. Recent indications of fraud in the whole program might slow it down. However, major damage has already been done. http://www.hreonline.com/HRE/story.jsp?storyId=533340605
