    Refco - $4/RT. Anyone use em?

    Does anyone know if its possible to trial Protrader using a simulated account? I see that you can trial the Xpress platform but there is no mention of Protrader. It seems obvious that you need to try it before committing to using it as a professional platform? No? Does anyone know what...

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

    Ken, as you can see from the opposing opinions here, the answer is yes and no - it entirely depends on your experience. If you are new to trading then, unless you are one of very few who become profitable quickly, you will probably eat through the $5000 just learning. Remember it only takes...

    eSignal EFS code

    Adonos's tick study is really useful, but it would be even better if it had bollinger bands which do a good job of containing the tick. Adonos is there any way to add them in the same efs study? Thanks Indie :)

    Perfect Broker/Software combination ?

    I used Man for 2 years - solid company, not the cheapest. Mtrade Pro is J trader in disguise. The reason I changed is that if you ever have a problem and need to talk to the order desk, its like talking to cavemen. Seriously not too bright there, and extremely unhelpful. Don't think the...

    Hypothetical Question

    You need them - they need you. What's the win win ? Don't wait the two years - take their investment. If you have a system that is that good make some money now while you can - but be clear with them that you are not willing to give 100% disclosure of the system. Give them enough to...

    Can someone explain the secured prop leverage vs risk issue?

    If I have understood correctly firms like Echotrade, Green Tree etc are 'secured' prop firms. You get leverage but any losses come out of your own capital? Is that right? Can someone explain then why one would want to trade with leverage which is out of whack with what one can afford to...

    Throwing an easy overpaid job for a prop shop

    To succeed at full time trading is "%^):! hard work. You've got to be passionate about it and be really sure its something you want to do, otherwise you wont get through the inevitable tough times of learning the ropes. If you are in two minds, then I'd say you don't have the passion yet...

    Training Reviews

    Dear Mr Baron, Could we have a section where we can do reviews of the various different trainings on offer from various Guru's, similar to the book section. It seems like many people have comments or like to moan and groan (eg. all the recent comments about Don Miller) but half the time...
