Some forums can only be seen by registered members. I have been trading stocks with Etrade for few years now. Recently I have applied for level 2 options with them ,and I was denied. According to their Rep it is because I didn't answer "correctly" their questions. Does anyone knows what kind of experience one should have and what should be the account objectives in order to qualify for the level 2.

Also, when you say level 2, do you mean level 2 quotes? I have no idea why you couldn't get that, but I have a feeling you mean something else. I'm not familar with Etrade anymore because quite frankly they suck, but thats another story. Also, you may need this is a guess 25K and pattern daytrader status. I am having the same problem. Any recommendations for a newbie? Playing with a very small amount of money-2k tops.

We are not wealthy people. How can I stop this in etrade? This should have been in a new thread. It's a strange topic.

It might better have been posted in the Mental Health forum. Did you call eTrade? Is his retirement account with eTrade? Did you talk to a lawyer?

Does the VA have lawyers? It really sounds like it might be a legal issue regarding competence. I hate to see this happen. I have and it's not pretty. They went bankrupt in the following decade. Originally Posted by Dorothy Pennington.
