You dumb fuck. You can't trade or even find your own ass with two hands, and now you're the posterboy for the Bush administration. What a fitting parallel to your failures as a trader. Now you post this stupid shit about what a great guy your retarded stepchild is...it doesn't get any...

Posted this in another forum by accident- As for the $1 ISLD ticket charge - I assumed it was a buck in addition to whatever the normal ticket charge was - ie. $9.95 + $1.00 if you send an order at Island. I've seen that several times before, but I definitely have never before seen a broker...

oops...posted in wrong forum...

It may have to do with option positions - http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=5348 In my case, it was because option value is NOW (starting about 2 weeks ago) subtracted from net liq. This meant that I had to sell calls against my "bullets," and close or move other...

:D

Thanks for the input. It will be interesting to see if PD can give IB a run for their money. I wonder if the initials "PD" will start popping up as frequently as "IB." To the PD folks if you read this - the thing that's keeping me away from PD is the min $1.50 ticket charge for listed stocks...

Yes; if you get the full version of zonealarm it will do just that.

You, my friend, need a hobby. Badly.

Let's not forget that their tech support is unrivaled in the business. Seriously, whenever I post a problem to the matrox forum (which is free) one of their tech guys responds within 30 minutes, often sooner, and they know the hardware very very well. Good support like that is almost...

One question for you - what does posting in this forum have to do with getting your money back? Further, if you did contact the FBI, they would most likely ask you not to share this information with anyone. The whole thing sounds like a crock of shit to me. Anyone else notice the number...

Christ almighty; no wonder most people lose money in the markets.

Your guess is as good as mine. They (SEC mob) have been doing whatever they do while talking about it. Last I heard they were going to try it for MSFT, CSCO, and other mega caps, but I don't know if they've set a date (not that setting a date has anything to do with when it may actually begin)...

Aside from the NYSE routing problems, which have been constantly happening lately, no disconnects today.

That's the heart of the problem - MM's turn off their auto-ex systems so they will have a chance to back away from an order. In reality, these systems are supposed to be on and they are supposed to autoexecute, but this has never been the case in my experience, outside of the ISE, of course. The...

04-30-02 - PSE - LHTQ - LH (NYSE) Aug02 85 Put Two orders sent around 10:20 AM. EST. I probably don't have to mention that Auto-Ex was OFF. I also probably don't have to mention that PSE was the only exchange on the offer at this price, otherwise I wouldn't have sent it there. But good for...

Lotsa option positions, both long and short. Thanks for the tip. I'll either move 'em or close 'em.

OK - this is really pissing me off. Today I was trading in one of my IB accounts, where my net liquidity is over 25k but my equity with loan (cash balance minus margin requirements) is just under 25k, due to positions I am holding as swing trades. TWS will not let me place any more orders...

Is it just me, or have the IB reps gotten really obnoxious since the ISP problems started? For a while their manners seemed to be getting a tad better, but lately they seem to be going back to their old selves.

"is" ? this business is as low as it gets. just accept it and move on.
