First, you lose the commision - money goes to your broker. Second, you lose the spread - money goes to maker maker. Third, you lose to insiders - money goes to a nephew of the typist that prepared the earnings report. Fourth, you lose by paying for software, books, courses etc...

Brilliant idea! But you pay double commission and I don't think it is legal to trade with yourself (not that I think you will be caught or actively prosecuted, the prohibition is to prevent price manipulations - much more serious matter than PDT violation).

$30 is for a month. I believe they charge $0.5 for 100 shares.

Buy and sell 100 shares of something once a day for additional $30 charge :) Do they require a minimum you should pay in commissions?

Did you look at gndt.com? They seem to offer unlimited feed + 2 days backfill for $200

Speaking of start-up: what are the costs involved? - Renting data storage servers OpenTick boasted 10TB of storage, thats about 10 servers. Add another 10 servers for redundancy and overhead. That's 20 servers at $200/month = $4000/month. - An average consumer pulls ~0.5 MBit/sec...

Obey the Daleks! You will be exterminated!!!

The seller was absolutely right. 16-bit OS (Windows 3.1) couldn't do preemptive multitasking at all.

There is nothing sweeter than other people's money.

Serious 40-50% overclocking can indeed lead to instability, overheating and require expensive high quality parts. However, modest 20-30% overclocking is absolutely safe, doesn't need any special hardware or cooling. You only need to change 3-4 settings in the BIOS. Google it or ask any...

Bernie, how's it in jail?

No, an elite trader usually has this:

Captain has already lost it :)

Try a broker that charges fixed price no matter how many shares. Ameritrade for example. 100 shares or 10,000 shares - you still pay $10. Good for penny stocks of shitty little companies like Citibank or General Motors :)

You want to compete against market maker in your retail account? But you pay about 1 cent commission on each trade, while market maker pays nothing. These days, 1 cent equals 0.2% to 1% for most "blue chip" stocks. It's tough to earn 0.2% on each trade in a market making strategy :)...
