STFU!

LOSER

Go troll someone else's thread ... or start a thread complaing about IB, complaining about how you were cheated while the market went against your postion, complaining about how you need another broker to trade well ... complaining, complaining, complaining

Here's what's posted on your forehead every time you turn your computer on and start trading.

For LOSER!!!!!

and i'm quite sure you'd speak to me like that in person. internet bravery= IRL pussy.

speaking of which, keep an eye out for a new thread that will give you a chance to show how great you are and humiliate me in the process. of course, i'm 99.999% sure that you won't be man enough to answer the call.

Wow... you know, while I might not have agreed with a lot of your posts, I have always thought you were reasonably intelligent. This post shows how immature you actually are... very disappointing

gangof4's performance summary:

Quote from gangof4:

can't recall carrying anger over from the previous night to the point that i was in a feces mood all day and almost decided not to trade- alas, i was too on tilt already to be so rational. predictably, i spent all but the first 3 minutes in the red. had horrific lags on executions tonight that cost me well over $3m thru the course of the night ...

Quote from gangof4:

unlike the paper trading no load mutual fund dollar cost averaging world that our mods apparently live in, tonight can't be summed up by, 'golly gee, that wasn't a walk thru the meadow, i think i need a nice tall glass of milk'. i'll do my best.

i traded REALLY well and had a very good feel for things the entire session. was up $2,400 and about to call it a night. decided to do that last trade to get over my old daily target of 2500. stopped out. i then reverted to my favourite method of self destruction: identifying a clearly ballistic trend and then fading it to see how fast a can get stopped out- over and over ...

why all the detail (aside from my need to vent)....

Quote from gangof4:

not sure if i'm going to keep this up or not, after having my pook, this was wednesday. my recollection is that this was a pretty intercoursed night where, after a great start i proceeded to violate just about every intercoursing trading rule i have, but got seriously lucky in the last 10 minutes with one intercoursingly ridiculously over leveraged trade that went my way to bail my intercoursing buttocks out.

You want to stalk somebody and talk shit to them ... I can do that. The only thing you've proven to the Board gangof4 is that you'are an obnoxious, anger ridden trader with poor discipline, bad psychology and serious entitlement issues.

Later chump, you aren't worth anymore of my time.

Sorry you feel that way.

I don't agree.

gangof4 talks shit to me, I talk shit back to him ... very simple. At least theere's some truth backing up what I have to say.

yawn ... tell it to your psychiatirst after he finishes proscribing your daily meds.

LOL, I don't need to humilate you on your "new thread" - someone still doesn't get it :eek: ... you do enough of that for me already!

I've worked for the same employer for seven years. Last month I got a threatening email from our compliance area. They cc'd my boss, several compliance people, and the chief compliance officer. They informed me that I had an account at an unauthorized broker (we have a list we can use) and the account had to moved immediately and I had to provide statements for all transactions since inception. I told them the account was a mutual fund account that I set up 10 years ago for my God-daughter and I haven't made a trade since and it has less than $1000 in it. Once they realized it was a mutual fund only account, I was able to keep it where it was and I was told to disregard the email.

However, I was shocked that they were even able to locate this account. It is not even reported under my ssn. If your company wants to find the account, they will. I do not know how they found it, but they did.

Private Policy Summary:
We collect personal and financial information to open your account, to process your securities transactions, to administer your account, to verify your identity, employment, creditworthiness, and to carry out your request for other products and services. The following categories are examples of personal nonpublic information will be requested from you: (1) name, (2) date of birth, (3) securities trading history, (4) total assets, (5) social security number, (6) cash balance, (7) margin information, and (8) securities positions. We have implemented procedures to protect your nonpublic personal and financial information.

MB Trading does not sell, share, or disclose your nonpublic information to nonaffiliated third parties unless permitted or otherwise required by law. We do share such information with affiliates to facilitate your requests or instructions. Examples of "permitted by law" include our clearing firm (which clears and settles your securities transactions) and credit bureaus. "Required by law" examples include court orders and regulatory investigations.

No disagreement that they have the right to submit info to credit bureaus - just that I've never seen any reference to any brokerage accounts in my credit reports over the years.

So the idea that someone can pull my credit report (as it stands today) and see what brokerages accounts I have is not correct.

Yea, pretty obvious in this thread who has never actually worked in finance.
Compliance job is to find this stuff out. Its both to protect the firm and the firm obviously is not going to want you doing business with the competition.
If you OP values his job, he should talk with compliance and see what his options are.
If your not interested in becoming a professional trader, doesn't make much sense to risk your career on something that very likely won't work out anyway.

Quote from pismo10:

The extra time you put into trading put into your job and make the extra money that way. Forget trading.

yeah, we can all really break the birth-school-work-debt-death cycle with that kind of thinking.

To the OP: Get an IB account, get Ninjatrader for free, set it up to do market replay. In your spare time trade the futures on a simulator. It might take months or years but eventually you won't have to worry about the "90% fail" insanity..

Do 90% fail that put in a few years of learning? Hell no.. that would be unbelievable.. a lot fail because they lose too much money before they really learn to trade probably...
