Good wisdom as usual from FT71. I have a similar setup. I simply mark the day during the times I make most money. Once I reach 11:00 AM I check how much I've made. If I give back 10% of that, I leave the room for an hour. If if I give back another 10% of that original figure, I stop until...

No one with any self-esteem or intelligence would act the way you do. People with a low self-image end up provoking people in order to have their image confirmed for them. As such I have no problem being holier than your type.

It's unfortunate that normal people have to be associated with people like this when they identify as traders.

Heh, with low volatility comes a lower signal:noise ratio. But every now and then someone will pop in with something useful to say, that isn't a projection of their own issues. :) If you haven't been out of college for more than ten years you could possibly tap some alumni resources. Met...

I love the endless stream of unhelpful insults that appear in replies to every post.

With the amount of sleaze out there who can open an LLC, find shady ways to charge you, and then try to legally stick it to you if you leave, I'm not too trusting. If I could day trade through something established like IB I wouldn't have a problem putting money down. Getting trapped in a...

Thanks for the advice. I had no idea 30k bp was that hard to get or that it's really a 2:1 game, since I've only been doing prop. It seems I'll need to create two separate accounts then and continue day trading where I'm at.

Jesus Christ, I'm not looking for that leverage overnight. I want to continue day trading while slowly experimenting with holding 200 shares until I can get a sense of how feasible switching would be. What I'm looking for is an account that might be legally defined to both day trade and swing...

Any other options out there?

Interesting. I'd like to know what's going on there, as I have seen that a few times as well.
