    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    It is clear that he did not enough to cover the overnight margin balance, so he got liquidated. If he doesn't wish to divulge his balance, I don't blame him. Do you wish to reveal your balances?

    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    I like the TS platform. IB is a much better broker, but stingy on futures margins. You can use multiple platforms and data providers with IB.

    Wire transfer out of TradeStation

    I would assume you could transfer the balance, minus the transfer fee. if you are set-up with ACH, you could transfer money to your bank, then on to IB and save the transfer fee. ACH is free. P.S. If you don't mind, why are you leaving TS?

    IMO the Federal Reserve controls the economy more than Presidents. The Fed raised rates on Ronald Reagan up to 21%, for instance.

    Best Amp Futures Platform?

    Sierra Chart (platform) with CQG (order routing) is a solid choice IMHO. As for "best," that depends on your needs.

    Tradestation: zero commission

    TradeStation is owned by Monex, out of Tokyo, Japan - not to be confused with Monex, the metals broker. Currently, TradeStation is Monex's best performing asset. TS earnings are up greatly while Monex Asia and their crypto biz are in the red. (p. 9)...

    Here is a segment John Stossel did on Sweden, as many Americans have an incorrect view of Swedish economics (according to the video).

    Income inequality, highest in 50 years

    I was relying on my memory from a book I read recently. It is from the book "Freedom Manifesto" (2012) by Steve Forbes, p. 187. The think tank is Timbro. https://books.google.com/books?id=psNKbDMvG38C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Freedom+Manifesto#v=onepage&q=Freedom Manifesto&f=false Go to page...

    Store Closures near 9000 - Near All-time Highs?

    I agree that many people do not save enough for retirement. Madison Ave. has done a great sales job of stimulating over-consumption. How many high schools or colleges teach personal financial management and budgeting? IMO it should be mandatory. There is a retirement and pension crisis...

    Store Closures near 9000 - Near All-time Highs?

    I remember in 2008-2009, hearing retail analyst Davidovitz talk about just how over-retailed the USA was compared to other top economies in terms of sf/consumer. It is still very over-retailed. I can save a lot of time ordering online and having it delivered to my home. So I personally shop a...
