After a very long call it's confirmed that China and Singapore are banned from doing business, or vice versa, with TD Ameritrade because of unknown to the sales team, new country laws. Hong Kong is exempt from this ban.

This was the FX thread:- http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/no-forex-trading-for-ohio-and-arizona-customers-of-tos.298488/#post-4259038 oncemore-these messages were coming from the internal mail, and I replied on internal. Am calling them now to make sure the guy who sent the...

I emailed them and got the reply"This is a result of a thorough legal review of established brokerage regulations in your country, among many other countries." First thing that came to mind was China, until friends in Singapore received the same email. I saw a post here earlier saying that...

Another helpful post, thank you. Suggest you stick to something you may, possibly, know something about. Options?

Thank you for the slightly condescending post, but you will be relieved to hear I do have at least two accounts with two different brokers. However that was not the point. They have known for around 10 years that I am not American and live in HK. Why suddenly ask for a document they know I can...

Can fully understand that as my wife works for a Canadian company out here and says the regulators are a massive PITA and do cause loads of extra work. Why would TOS give zero notice that the account was on liquidation only? No 30 days to sort out your affairs just a rather rude and bullying...

Is there any way of finding out which government rules apply, as they have just closed down Asia for the same reason.

I'm in Hong Kong, and 30 days notice would have been a luxury!

Was informed two days ago that my account had been put on liquidating trades only. "We would like to inform you about a business policy that will impact your TD Ameritrade accounts. We have made the business decision to no longer open new accounts or handle new business transactions for clients...

Could someone with more experience of IB please shed some light on this situation. I placed a gtc stop order on BBBY @$75.49 which was confirmed. A few hours after trading finishes I log into my account and the order is highlighted in brown asking me to update the order with a new price of...

Oh dear, someone else that believes that there is no life outside of the USA? 420M People In China Have Internet Access, 99% Use Baidu For Search so that looks like 415 million+ users just for a start...

What they are really protesting about is the fact that they will no longer have time to pop over the harbour to Kowloon and visit their whores and mistresses. It has nothing whatsoever to do with business.

Any chance BarryL can learn how to use paragraphs instead of posting a huge unreadable blob of prose?

Has anyone given a thought to the poor illiterate village girls that make up a large part of the prostitute population to whom 1 or 2 thousand baht is a small fortune? Imagine having sex with, by his own admission, an elderly, balding, overweight "gentleman" with "health issues" Not a...

What is the average price per gallon in the USA?

The book did not work for me, but attending the seminar got me off a three pack a day habit back in the days when smoking was allowed in dealing rooms.

stock777 needs to add more water to that whiskey, or stop smoking crack!

Looking over the posts on this thread I would think that unless you have full guaranteed payout insurance you would be crazy to have an operation in the USA. Comparing what Scataphagos paid for an identical operation to myself there is a $87, 640 difference. What about getting a flight to...

I had exactly the same problem a few years ago, was rushed to a private hospital here in Hong Kong and had emergency operation followed by 6 days in a private room. The total bill was HK$ 88,000 (US$ 11,500) of which insurance, BUPA, paid HK$ 70,000. Looking at some of the horrific amounts...

Would you care to tell us exactly what daily percentages in your real time trading you are making/losing.
