    Calling all Echo and Bright traders

    I don't blame anyone. Both firms were great. Traded in an office with Bright and remote with Echo. Made no money at Bright. Manager of my office did not believe in their opening only strategy. Too much risk. Flew by the seat of my pants basically and floundered. Went back to retail...

    Ask to see your mentor's K-1 from last year and his latest monthly p&l's. You want to know these guys are the real deal. At my first prop shop, the manager was making nothing from day trading. He made all of his living from longer term trading....selling option straddles against stock...

    s&p mini's

    Just curious.........I'm an equity scalper. Any S&P mini scalpers out there? I have never traded futures. Would love to try it out. Do you tape read with futures or is it all about trendlines and technicals? How would you begin if you are new to futures?
