If you actually took the time to consider the viewpoints of others, you would see that you are wrong. You were utterly wrong, for example to say that half my posts were about specialists screwing up my trades. The real truth is that I have repeatedly posted that I do not trade with specialists, therefore, they cannot screw up my trades. I suggest that you pay greater attention to factual accuracy, if you want to influence IB in a constructive direction.
use the search function under your handle, many posts of yours are about the spec, u referred to them as the mafia of wall st. u also replied to every one of us who explained to u how to collaborate with the spec and take advantage of price improvement, NOT available in any other mkt, with the staunch remark that we can only trade profitably because the system is screwd and once the mkt will get rid of the spec u suggested we wont be makin a dime. its all there jim, for all to see.
Yes, it is all there sir, and it proves you are wrong! It proves that I didn't say what you said I said! It proves that I said I don't trade with specialists, so that you were wrong to say that half my posts were about specs ruining my trades! The search function will also prove that I never claimed that all NYSE traders would stop making money once the specialist system is reformed - I warned only that the ones unable to adapt would become unprofitable. You got that one wrong, too! Let me repeat, if you want to have a constructive influence upon IB, then lose the attitude, and make some effort to achieve factual accuracy.
