Your distorted socialist views aside, I agree more crashes, or at least corrections, would be a godsend for trading. At this point its the only thing that would bring back volume & volatility so that real money could be made again.

I should, and so should you and 99.9% of people on here. The P&Ls speak for themselves no?

So what are making from these active stocks you speak of? Please don't say you're "making a living" and getting by. If you're not on track to make at least 500k this year than what's the point of doing this? By the way, volume and volatility has been destroyed in everything....bonds...

Yeah right!!! You're making nothing!! Provide examples of what you're doing to make millions when the S&P sits in a 2 point range all day.

Day after day after day.... How can you take it anymore?

I've been pair trading for twelve years and its nothing like it used to be. Low intra-day price movement and low volume has really put a damper on it. Years ago I was holding dozens of pairs for weeks but was also day trading them around the core positions with high success. That barely works...

The notion that you will make $1 million a year with this account size is completely absurd, even in ten years. If you had over $5 million maybe you could achieve that, and even that is a reach. You say that you are single with no kids. At age 33 surely you don't intend to stay that way do you...

What are you talking about? There is no convertible trade here. CBS-A trades about 30 cents higher than CBS

I don't know why he mentions spikes and low volume. Thats not the issue. When there is a stock split all the data is destroyed and the software generates completely false signals. For example, TMK did a 3-for-2 yesterday and every pair with that stock went haywire in the software. This is a...

Its unbelievable how a stock split destroys all the data on a pair in pairtradefinder.:mad:

I'm in....looks compelling. Thoughts anyone?

I've been pairs trading for several years and as most would proabably agree, most pairs require days or weeks to work. I was wondering, does anybody have any good intra-day money making pairs which can be used daily and are closed out each day? Does the previously mentioned GE/TXT have...

I'm unclear. You're saying prop firms not clearing with Goldman can still pay 100% but those clearing with Goldman, like Bright, can only pay 80% even to the top guys? That sounds strange. Why would anyone stay if they now have to give up 20%? Won't everybody just go somewhere they can keep 100%?
