Crooked brokerage employees.

The first one was 20 odd years ago. It was one of those brokers that let you use more leverage than "wise." They also tried to goad me into foolish trades on volatile stocks. They are not in business any longer. Pretty sure they all went to prison. I caught them on the second trade they faked (I think) so I didn't loose much.

The second one (again 15+ years ago) was a well known online broker, but forget which one. Canceled the account.

The last one was Edward Jones.

As someone who has traded full time for over 20 years your post is crap.

Your first supposed bad experience you can't even name the broker. And yet you're pretty sure they all went to prison. Okay, if they did then name the broker. Point to an indictment of them.

And your 2nd feeble attempt you claim it was a 'well known online broker' but again you have no name. And if it was in the last 15 years that means since 2000.

And if Edward Jones was the 3rd instance and you had any proof of wrongdoing then it is you who is the fool for not pursuing charges.

You may have a future as a fiction writer.

I've had a lot of bad experiences over the years.

One broker was giving fake data on their platform. They would not execute your trade on a volatile stock, say they did, say you lost, and the platform would show a fake low price.

One time I opened an account, made a few profitable trades, and some punk broker called me wanting to know how I was picking my securities. I had to call execs in his company repeatedly and it didn't stop until I spelled out what I was going to do to them if it didn't.

One time I set up an account and within the week some random whore on the street asked me how I was doing with my trading.

I had someone break into my house to try to steal my algo.

and so on.

When are we going to start giving psychological testing to everyone and locking up the nut jobs?

Wow those are some really horrendous experiences. Why haven't you reported any of these brokers to the NFA or SEC or FINRA even?
