Sorry to hear that Loz. I personally am so frugal, I don't spend money in my dreams. Anything high pressure sales is usually not worth having. Seems like everyone is selling a dream anymore. The crazy thing is I try and look at him with integrity when I see him giving commentary on CNBC in...

I've been trading at ToS (thinkorswim.com) for about 4 years, and have been very happy with everything. Service, commish, charts, etc... However, I primarily trade Credit Spreads on the RUT and IWM. My only problem with ToS is commish on the ETF's can get out of hand. Ideally I'd like to...

It's almost a sign that this post gets attention. Last night I watched a movie called "The Prime Gig" with Vince Vaughn. It's an older flick but a friend had it and loaned it to me as we are both VV junkies. It's Boiler Room(ish) with the sale of a different product, but a great story...

Thank you so much. I've been too busy to even trade with a clear head as of late. Glad didn't plunk down $1500 much less the $6500 this guy did. Just got an offer for his DVD course for $199 "reg $1295". Needless to say I'm not buying (nor would I ever). Appreciate you looking out for me...

LOL, yes. I get his daily emails, and actually enjoyed talking with the sales guy. But I've been seeling since I was 5 so I know you want to make the target I mean customer a friend... and it becomes a lot easier to sell your service to someone you like. The thing that bugs me the most when...

I'm still looking for the skin color thread to reattach my balls. :)

Wanted to see if anyone was using or has used Larry Levin (former floor trader at the CME). I bought his book How I made $1,900,386.82 a while back and it is decent. Prolly need to reread it to get a better feel for it all. I ignore most of the email solicitations I get from his site as there...

Hey there, I saw the psychology tab and it looked like some of you may have info that could be useful. I've been trading stocks and options for the last 15+ years. It has only become an issue in the last 3-6 months through of a fear of losing $$ when I put on a futures trade. I trade (when I...

He is an international trader trading our markets, and lost about 60k in a week (a month or two ago when the ___ really started hitting the fan). He pulled out all his cash and is sitting on the sidelines reevaluating his trading strategies. PM me if you'd like to talk off board about a quick...

I think you may be right about their commish. A friend who fled ToS had looked at IB as well. I think the margin rates were better, as well as interest for cash in account. We were trading Iron Condors so everything was just cash in the account, and no sense in that $$ not to earn top dollar...

Another mistake, which has nothing to do with my strategy, was trading with TDAmeritrade, as they substantially reduced the limit sell price on at least two trades, which should have been gains but turned out to be negatives because of them changing the prices. I don't know if they did the same...
