Trader963 "I GUESS IT WAS OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PERAL HARBOR" This would be a definite sign that you really do have your facts straight!...not to mention the spelling

A fellow trader recommended this when I told him that I seemed to miss important market moves whenever I leave my desk: http://www.stadiumpal.com/

Oh darn does that mean OVERtheLINE is not allowed to post his meaningless piffle on this thread?

Below are the facts I sent the IRS and the response I received. Not sure if it will help any but an lot depends upon whether your country has a tax treaty with the US. The issue is quite complicated and even after talking to revenue Canada, I could not get an answer. Get this..... they wanted...

Why don't those who are opposed to the practices and fees charged by the prop firms outline a plan that you think is fair: Should there be training and if so how much are you willing to pay? If it was your business how would you grow it? What is acceptable to you? How much would you...

All of the complaining and criticizing about this firm and that firm is beyond me. The failure rate of any small business last time I looked was well over 90%. The only thing I know for sure is that if you are not able to make a go of it as a full time trader there is nobody to blame but...

Check out the CCRA web site. The long and short of is it that I believe a speculator in futures is able to report all gains and losses as capital or as regular income. I don't think you can change reporting methods once you file your first return so talk with your accountant and give it some...

Actually, I would have to say that Redi has gone down less than 2 times in the last six months from where I am(Vancouver). Even then it's usually for a very brief time. But on the other hand we get a little more rain up here than many of our neighbors to the south. Would gladly trade a little...

I sent you the contact name and number for the Langley office. DarynC

I am assuming that each firm is responsible for paying exchange data fees for each trader. If we subscribe to a secondary data source are we required to pay the exchange data fees twice? Thanks DarynC

DYN....... Because my uncle is the specialist.

My first trade was long 1000 shares of a stock that was then called BFX (Bowflex). Listed I believe on the ASE, I paid about $1.05(Canadian)....I ended up selling at about $1.10 after a few months because I didn't think it was going anywhere. Now you'll find it listed on Nasdaq under DFXI. Oh...

I would agree with the theory that a strategy becomes either more difficult to implement or dissipates over time as more people start using the strategy. I trade pairs and would have to say that although I don't think the strategy will ever become obsolete (because the relationship between...

BigBear, It was I who made the comment. That's just the way I see it. You may not. However, while some people are spending their time trying to launch an assault on the competition, the rest of us are busy making money. Happy Competition Assaulting! :D DarynC

What you are saying makes sense to me, sort of. The big difference is that when you first experience success as a new trader (we both started trading at prop firms around the same time I believe), you think "wow! I can do this". I think that where some people start to fall apart (in terms of...

Hitman, Please correct me if I am wrong, but I have been reading you journals over the past few months and I was thinking that maybe your time would be better spent working on yourself instead of working on "assaulting" your competition. I've said it before and I'll say it again, any...

I seem to recall an article in Futures Magazine recently that talked about the arb opportunities between the index instrument and and the futures. When ever either one gets too far out of line, traders will bring it back into line very quickly by buying one and selling the other. As with most...

"He who thinks he knows, doesn't know. He who knows that he doesn't know, knows."

Hitman, You are already aware of this I am sure but TYC & BCR follow each other tick for tick (or very close) because they are in a merger. DarynC
