Hi, I've begun trading 100 share lots (with unfair $.01/share commissions to start) for a few weeks now. I'm only in 1 or 2 positions at a time (so therefore I use only about $10K of my $60K buying power on average). Still, I trade approx. 8,500 shares a day... way too much. I did...

top. what is the echo / merril relationship? & does anyone have anything BAD to say about echo?

hi, i just wanted to say that i've read your posts scalper. they were very interesting and have me thinking. a route you described that sounds good is starting with a firm like hold, trading positevely, providing commission to the co., at least. this will get me benefits and an opportunity to...
