$25,000 to $75,000 in fines for front running customer orders for 3 years and a specialist who traded with the floor versus his own account ignoring DOT orders. What´s new. A guy caught dealing gets 3-10 years in jail. These guys get a suspension of 1 month and a pittance of a fine...

Give up the Holy Grail. Also, give up on the idea that you are Ivy educated and a good salesman. Maybe, maybe then you will have some idea about what it takes to be a trader. If you are not willing to give these misconceptions about yourself and trading you are bound to fall. The answer is...

The next time you want to ruin other traders day, why don´t you look at yourself instead. I understand the need to vent, but it´s time you took a very long sabbatical or even quit trading altogether, it will be one less person fighting for dimes. Have a nice day. :)

I guess this is the only way he can make a living now. I learned nothing from the first book other than they wear socks in his office and he enjoys competitive checkers. He took us through 450 pages of an ego trip. Typical born a born white boy, etc.

I heard people are still paying well over .01/share. This is like writing out blank checks to who you trade for. As a Customer I get .01/share, no strings attached.. it seems like one of the last ways for these "Prop" firms to rip you off.

He is looking for you. He wants to train you, call him. :D

I appreciate the idea, but how to function normally while in this state. I feel as soon as I trade thoughts come in. I am usually defending my position, rationalizing, etc. How to get beyond this is the question. I am either trading out of greed (fear) or fear and as a result miss many moves...

Did you ever wonder why it took so long to lower rates? Have you ever calculated your additional expense? Most of the traders at ETG are too scared to leave as they have been threatened with lawsuits, that´s the real reason. Fear rules that firm. ETG is good for a start, but when you have...

How can one stay in the moment and think at the same time, as thinking takes one out of the moment. If anyone has the answer to this one, I would appreciate it.

Dafugginman, are you still at ETG? Are any of the original traders still there? I am wondering why unless they don´t have the money. Basically, a trader is giving up a 1/4 to 1/2 of the upside and paying in effect 1/3 to 1/2 more in commission than they have to. I don´t know but when you...

Man I was I was as rich and trading was as easy as this.

Yes I am a seasoned trader but I'm not arrogant. It sounds like you are a lonely person and want recognition for your trading. I have an idea. Let me trade the 400k, and you can continue trading your 100k. Or better yet why don´t you consider giving it to charity. This may make you...

I heard Lieber and Weissman charge.03/share commission. Weissman sounds like a good and likeable guy but come on now. Watch out for any firm charging more than .01, they are stealing from you. This includes ETG. I heard they are now lowering their commissions after 3 years and millions and...

Do not go to ETG. You will be made to sign a 3 year contract and will not be able to get at your money. Try Echotradeonline.com, you get the same leverage, 100% payout, after all it is your own money (the same at ETG, though they make you believe otherwise), and the commissions are about 1/2...
