    Has there ever been a single documented case of profitable live trades?

    I followed Geez from day 1 till the date he made 50% on the bet account. For folks who don't know - his original bet was to make 50% on a 70K account @ scotttrade. And he did it in about 6 months. Excellent!!! He is the only one "with live call" I know. RW was great but his risk management...

    Proprietary Trading

    Guess we have no issue IB running prop desk. But it is a problem if Goldman, Citi and other MMs are running prop desk. Do you know that listed companies are required to notify them in advance about earnings or any major event. This is needed so that they can do their market making function...

    I Never owned a DELL and never will

    Can your broker Fxxk u in stop loss order?

    IB has so many flags that controls your order flow and by default they won't kick your stop outside RTH (regular trading hours). But buy default they'll execute your buy.. I had similar issue in DEMO account during my initial days. Did you play with their DEMO a/c for at-least a week...

    GS, MS, or JPM Electronic Trading

    Call them one by one. Posting at ET may not help you. I assume IB is still your best choice and what ever limitation you see has to be from EXCHANGE side. I know that IB does custom solution for big clients. If your per month comm is in five figure; they will certainly listen to you and...

    Can your broker Fxxk u in stop loss order?

    Are you sure that they follow FIFO (first in first out). I think the fill is randomized. Is there a place where the exchange fill policy is documented?

    Can your broker Fxxk u in stop loss order?

    My broker (IB) had me stopped once from TF position where chart was not even showing that price reached to that stop level. When I complained about it, they did send me a convincing tick by tick execution log to justify that execution was correct. My 2 lots were 20 cents apart and both were...

    API-capable platforms with front-ends/datafeeds built-in?

    I saw the product; looks neat. I see that you are also very prompt in answering TradeLink questions. What is your business model? How are you able to provide such a prompt support on open source project? Are you primarily a trader or system developer? Do you use your product for live ATS...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Nice job puddle! I love your charts... I used to add charts for GEEZ when he was in action :-) Few things - Sorry if you've already addressed it (big thread, could not read all). 1. Trading on 1m or 2m chart is random. Too much noise, less signal !!! GEEZ strongly suggest us to not go...

    Are you smarter than a top M.I.T. Grad?

    This is for single contract. You can easily go 4 contract for a 10K account. Or even better is that you scale out as you grow and make even more. Moral of story! You will eventually get it if you keep trying hard and have an average or above intelligence.
