Quote from I Missed Boat:
Broadway Trading has been gone for a good couple years. And their book was dated and not very good.
Quote from Hydroblunt:
I never said "they even blocked instant messenger". I never stated or implied that it already happened but I clearly stated that it is going to happen. Do you know how to tell the difference between past, present & future tense? Do I really need to go back and quote myself and then explain it like you are a child?
Yes they are taking away IM because of compliance just like stuckie mentioned. I guess they dont want to archive chat sessions.
Like I said, more corporate BS in return for??? A small panic every other month over a year old rumor of the firm being sold?
You are saying there are improvements, well let's hear em. It certainly isnt the trading platform which simply is not better or even as good as the competition's anymore. Used to be the best, but the I don't live in the past.

just out of self interest.......if you could replace hammer with another firm's platform, which firm's would you use?
Quote from speedboy:
Yeah ...go back and quote this "Yes they are taking away IM because of compliance just like I mentioned."
And NO THEY ARE NOT....You just have to get off of your fat ass and stop losing your shirt for a second and tell your GSP that you want IM...Then they'll start archiving them for compliance reasons. God you are an Assent hater obviously why dont you take your 10k and go elsewhere.?
Quote from Hydroblunt:
Quote me asshole, go ahead quote me where I said they DID not they WILL. Past vs future tense, simple common sense.
Oh and guess what. No more IM as of today. Dumb shit.
Whether I'm a horrible trader or not, you really have no clue. Whether I am having a hard time, yes. Am I being let to trade what I want and how I want? NO. Am I allowed to go into the group I wanted for 7 months since the one I originally started under fell apart? NO. Bunch of BS politics that hindered me for a while but after all it is my fault, I should have left the firm months ago. At the time I thought I would be worse off at the other firms.
The bullshit I have went through just starting under two scumbags and then being forced under someone else is enough to write three scripts about. Is it the firm's fault? No, not at all. But it is a reflection of how things are allowed to run here, in spite of the new corporate image.
I never said I hated the firm at all, but I do not think they are living up to their rep at all. I've stayed here cause I AM MAKING MONEY, pretty damn good for only after 7 months and premium commissions. I have also stayed optimistic about the firm's progress and my progress in it regardless of the BS politics. Well I was wrong. Live and learn.
Hammer is not bad, I never said it was. I've clearly stated it's a good trading platform but no longer great. 2 years ago it ruled the street, now it's maybe up to par with the rest. Most of the other platforms are very similiar but better because they are newer and updated. I've seen Hold's, looks almost the same with more options. Lightspeed, I have heard from several traders, is much better.
Quote from speedboy:
Again you're wrong. AIM is available. Like I said schmuck...speak to your GSP and get yourself AIM if thats the only way you know how to make your money. IT's not taken away it's available to all but like all compliant firms you need to fill out some paperwork.
Ciao piker.
