just really bored here... stopped trading for today and i'm just killing time. what are you trading and what are your thoughts/experiences? me: trading s&p e-minis. been trading for about 2 months. it really frustrated me at first... well it still does but i'm SLOWLY improving. i've had...

well, they fired the TA research team because they weren't worth it. it doesn't mean that their knowledge is rubbish do you plan on taking the next 2 levels? how was the difficulty of the exam? buying those books must have cost you quite a bit. especially murphy's book

well i don't think it's a scam. some employers do recognize it. it's affiliated with the canadian securities institute as well which speaks for itself. i think the problem has more to do with the fact that they just tell you to read a bunch of books that you can buy at indigo and charge you a...

"What kinda companies would require CMT in order to get hired?" maybe not a requirement but a strong asset

well you have the potential for income whereas paper trading does not. also, just like paper trading, there is no capital risk. trading futures takes a lot of money. why not have a company provide that for you?

why is it not the best place? you incure no risk at swift trade other than no income. wouldn't it be a good place to learn? what other places do you suggest?

what do you guys think of trading futures at swift?

i'm new to trading. can you explain to me why that would be scalping? it seems like going up 2 and 3/4 handles is a lot. isn't scalping "going in and out" very quickly? when i scalp i try to take 2 ticks and i'm good. to each his own i guess but going up 2.75 would take quite a while. what is...

thanks drock for the first positve reply, i appreciate it i'm still learning

LMAO. it's funny how people continue to nitpick at insignificant things. you obviously know nothing about the investment consulting industry. i was working behind the scenes as a student and i become an investment advisor upon graduation. it is 98% sales. you really know nothing until you...
