hey trade-ya!, Good one. I was short yesterday too but I covered at the close since I don't do overnites. Then at 12:26pm I shorted but the market wasn't' going anywhere so I covered. Then the Fed announcement came and all of hell broke loose!! I kept sending limit orders and weren't...

Dear Trader, Here from our web site is the information you are looking for that can answer your inquiry: Expiration Liquidation Rules for Physical Delivery Futures For futures contracts that are not settled in cash but are settled by actual physical delivery of the underlying...

SethArb, thanks for your response. I know IB forced liquidation because they dont' want to take any physical delivery. And my account has plenty of capital so no margin calls there. WTF?! I just can't believe this. But why did it liquidated at 9:40am. I emailed them and yet didn't get a...

SethArb, Do you have the YG Feb'04 chart or quote for today? For some reason, IB LIQUIDATED my YG Feb'04 at 9:40am this morning at 404.60! WTF?! I was in it yesterday at $403.90. And it SETTLED yesterday at 406.70. And now it's at 410. It NEVER got to 404.60. WTF?! I bet IB screwed that...

$2M/yr pay for research. not even putting on a single trade... So, sle's pay is actually prety normal or at the lower end even... How life on Wall St has changed since the 80s when research people were paid poorly... =========================================== Job: Global Head of...

Mecro, Actually, sle's company is NOT unique. Quants/research/implementation people are now getting as much as traders used to get or even MORE. The table has turned. Some financial products are so complex, that they need quants to run it and implement it and they are getting a bundle for it...

Mr Yellow AOL Man, CHILL! i was NEVER a wanna-be tech guys. I was mildly interested in tech about 8yrs ago. But my professional career has always been in the financial industry. :P But yes, I understand your point about companies requiring their candidates to know the latest tech and...

kavman, haha. That's why prop firms SPONSORS ET. And most ETers join prop firms for the leverage. And that's why prop traders success rates are so low. Undercapitalization is poor money management and has serious psychological side effects...

illiquid, I think this is an excellent point. When you trade for a living, every day is crucial and pressured if you don't make $. You feel compelled to crank out money every day even though statistically that's not possible(or highly improbably. No system or method has 100% win rate!). And...

Tell you friend it should be enough IF he manages his risk correctly. Open an IB account. 4:1 daytrading margin would bring his buying power to $1M intraday. 2:1 overnite would bring it to $500K, which is more than enough I think if he's careful. He does NOT need to go to a prop shop and...
