Full disclosure would have done absolutely nothing to help kizzy. It wasn't an accident that he traded with money he did not own. He knew it from the beginning and did not care that the funds were not his to use. Bottom line for me is if you open a brokerage account, and acknowledge...

Here is what you wrote that led to my conclusions: ...whereas, if in your scenario re the horse breaking its leg, if the racetrack knew that the horse was actually likely to break its leg during a race, I actually would have a legal claim for recovery based on negligent or intentional...

So then, if a race is run in the rain or other bad weather that makes the track slicker than usual, one could make the argument that an animal was more likely to break it's leg during that race? I think this example is subjective as well. As for disclosure, I got this email from IB...

Do you really believe adding "disclosure" would help or do you mean it would close the "loophole" you perceive its lack creates? I am not sure how adding even more written information could possibly help when you are dealing with people who agree to contracts they are too lazy or too...

I didn't find your post angry sounding at all. In this generation it seems the lack of responsibility is largely encouraged and fed by those who can make a buck off the stupidity of those who either do not have the time or lack the intellect to look before they leap. It is always someone...

And that was exactly what I meant. The only thing we can do is ensure that we have more personal integrity than the majority of idiots who are in charge.

Absolutely Unbelievable! Now I think I've heard it all..lol.. Sorry to seem callus only there is such a void where personal responsibility is concerned these days and to me it is nearly unbelievable, especially the broadness of its scope. But on to your question. I doubt that etrade can be...

Thanks Bob111. I was interested a few years ago but never pursued it. Since your post, I've been looking in to it this afternoon.

Did you write your own program or is there something that can be downloaded? Also, can it be automated? Thanks. BD

Good points. I would think that all shipping would be a nice area to use the technology? I'll check out the ones you specify over the weekend - or try to. Thanks. BD

Having read over this thread it appears your stop discipline is not in place. Until you remedy that, it does not matter that you only lost 1.35% because it will only take a few blown stops to wipe you out. The reasoning is that blown stops have a way of feeding on themselves and eventually the...

Happy Birthday! :) Now for your present ;o) Loosing a wad of money seems to be part of the process of learning to trade. Daytrading is especially difficult because you have to stay completely focused and disciplined the whole time you're exposed. That doesn't even count the years it...

I've been trading oil stocks but only long when they pull back near reasonable support. I don't hang around for lengthy periods either (unfortunately ;o) I am not planning to short unless/until they break major up trend on a closing basis. Still plenty of kinetic energy in the stocks once...

LoL. To be honest, I didn't realize there were 7 pages of dialogue and posted after I read the initial story. It wasn't until afterwards I saw the debate. I've been a member for a long time but have been away too long to remember how everything works. Getting familiar and marking subjects...

I think RFMD does that stuff too. It's an area I am interested in but haven't had time to do much research. Thanks for all the symbols.

Congratulations on your profit. Nice for two day hold :)
