    Disqualified from a job because of a book I didn’t read

    I agree with drsteph, who would want to work for someone like that anyway, it was best that you didnt get hired. Good luck in your search.

    Going for prop money

    Ksoninc, I agree with you 100%. Foible, I think the prop firm you are at is just training you to trade as much as possible..... why? to generate commissions for the firm. The turn over there I bet is sky high. Try trading etf's (q's, spy's, gld's, dia's). You dont need to trade 100 times a...

    How's your local housing market doing?

    In coastal SC (myrtle beach area) things seem to be slowing down. Not seeing condos sell as quickly now as opposed to earlier in the year. Prices holding not seeing any drops. Have seen a few developers of new Condo projects discount there prices a little.

    Anyone solely trade the SPY's or QQQQ?

    Steve, yes I am happy with the q's. Less stress anyway lol. I have held positions for different amounts of time. 1/2 hour, couple hours sometimes all day. In the morning I like to see the market open up or down big. For instance if the market at the open is down a good bit at around 10 am...

    Anyone solely trade the SPY's or QQQQ?

    Steve, I trade the q's exclusively here for the last 3-4 years. Started out with 1000 share/trade, now doing 5000/ trade. No margin being used. I usually look for one trade a day, I dont scalp as commissions will eat you up. Occassionally I do hold overnight. The reasons Ilike the q's...
