beware of somone else cutting a deal for your group

no, try not too put some kind of sad spin on this discussion.

you made it clear,

you believe in traders manipulating their friends to get overrides on them and the sort.

so its simple, please tell us how to stay far away from you because we dont want you to make overrides on us.
 
Everyone,

Please keep the discussion civil. You're not obligated to like each other, but try to treat all with respect.... or say nothing. Thanks.

What is so bad if you get a better deal ? Who cares what that guy gets as long as you are happy with what you got ? When you trade in the office you can be sure that your deal is not the best around, does it make you jealous ? :D

This is an argument made by many personel brokers: the typical response is "Hey, your getting good money, why are you interested in what I'm getting ?"

Doing business under these circumstances is not in anyones interests: the entire deal should be clear. An honest company will clue you into the finnacials and show you a path to make more money over time. Hucksters just want to extract maximum profit from you and then dispense with you when done ... In fact these types of operations EXPECT you to move on once you get a bit more information on the dynamics of the business details.

The lesson is that you need some measure to ensure that you are not being exploited; The best way to do this is through rock solid contracts and with a transparent view of the business and your business partners, i.e. investigate who you are dealing with ....
 
to an individual in san diego, this thread was directed to a group in LA, where 1 partner is trying to screw his 2 other partners who taught the first partner how to trade and showed him the ropes.
 
You are talking about something only few know. You use some hints and innuendoes referring to some groups or persons.

What I meant is something simple like you are trading at some company where you pay let's say 1 cent per share. Some guy from your group negotiates a deal and in other place you get let's say 0.5 cents per share and that guy gets 0.4 My question was what is so bad if you are happy with new better deal and does it matter what that person got for negotiating a new deal for you ?
 
I remember this thread from awhile back and now wonder if it is the same topic or situation that was brought up in the now closed "Stock trading getting worse" thread. I guess at this point it does not really matter. I hope everything will be smoothed over since the trading community is so small and seems to be getting smaller. It would be nice for traders to get along and help each other then to take every opportunity to kick someone when they are already down.
 
It's amazing if as people claim the trading community is small and getting smaller, how much stuff is out there supposedly to support traders. There are so many trading sites for instance, companies that are trying to sell trading advice and tools. Can the number of traders really be as small as it is claimed to be? If there's only a few thousand traders, there's probably a few thousand trading sites; like there would be about one trading site per trader.

There's more people working on the exchanges than the numbers of people allegedly trading for a profession. So there's clearly a lot more making up the markets than "traders".

Just remember: If you ask someone to put their claim or guarantee in writing and they balk, then you can be 99% sure that they had no intention of honoring their promise........
