In my early days of my trading evolution, I worked extensively with options. Over that time particular 2 year time frame, it was very difficult to make gains on a level of consistency I required. Many losses with only a few huge gains on specific trades made it too erratic for me. One of the...

Thanks! Very interesting, So if a trader joins a prop firm, their performance is in fact separated from the group? In other words, whether a trader puts any money into the prop firm or not, they will be able to track their performance as an individual?

Hello, I read through a lot of the threads relating to prop firms, in addition to other internet searches, but I still just want to clarify what I <i>think</i> I understand a prop firm to be. If someone was interested in trading a basket of futures markets, but didn't have sufficient...

Hopefully this isn't too dumb of a question, but I was wondering... I understand the difference between a "Hedge Fund" and "Managed Futures Accounts", but if someone took the same concept of "managing futures accounts" and instead "managed STOCK accounts", would that then be the same? Or are...

Hello, Does anyone here know of a good source(s) of End Of Day stock data from foreign exchanges. I found one http://www.premiumdata.net/ but they only cover Australia and Singapore. I am also interested in Japan, Europe and elsewhere. Thanks! :)

Hi Folks, If a hedge fund is a US based fund (not an offshore based fund)... are they allowed to trade: 1.) Markets in foreign futures? 2.) Foreign stocks in foreign exchanges? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on my own. Thanks!

Yeah... True indeed. I'm just trying to figure out a very general rule as to figure the point I start to "become the market itself." I know many funds close themselves to new investment because they become too big to maneuver the way they need to in their chosen markets. It's a tuffy!

Hello Everyone, Does anyone have insight as to how to calculate market capacity and effect on price? For example: 1.) Stock XYZ trades an average of $10 million dollars in volume on any given day. ($10/share * 1 million shares traded) 2.) I buy $1 million dollars worth of XYZ. How...

I am curious as well.

Interesting stat. It also took me about 3 years. Very true.

Here's where I got mine. The data is solid. http://www.anfutures.com/datasvc.htm

I know exactly what you're looking for... and the short answer to your question is "no." a few years back I looked long and hard for exactly this type of indicator... it just didn't exist. However... it was that search that lead me to get software where I could invent that indicator myself...

Same thing happened to me... Don't know what the fix is yet, but if I find out, I'll post it.

Don't believe what Murray says about TraderStudio. He said last August that 2.5 would be out in the fall. Funny... don't see it yet. Besides... their support is absolutely terrible. Anyway... get Amibroker... it's MUCH better.

Amazing.... I was heading the same way... but once I became emotionless in my trading... and the money finally came in, I began to hit the gym hardcore (along with a disciplined nutritional program.) Things are MUCH better now. Please people... don't let your health go downhill...

Although I couldn't prove it, I did figure it out on my own... but it was by no means instant.

When you look at the sequence, look at those numbers backwards... and you'll see a pattern: 16,25,36,49,64 What do you see... 4 squared 5 squared 6 squared 7 squared 8 squared leaveing.... 9 squared = 81 backwards becomes 18 sorry to ruin it for the others :)

Thanks 2cents :) I have a personal successful track record, and now have people inquiring about "giving me money to play with." This has started me thinking about managing a fund, or something of that nature. I know how to trade itself, but need guidance on the "running a fund" aspect. It...

Hi Guys... very interesting discussion. When you say "managed accounts", are you under the same regulations as you would be under if you ran an actual "fund?" Also, what advantages/disadvantages would one have running a "fund" as opposed to managing a group of peoples accounts? Thanks!

Hello, This might be a tough question to answer, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone have a gauge as to what point an individual would have a noticeable affect on the price of the market/instrument they are taking a position in? For example... Stock XYZ trades $100,000,000 in...
