here, as well as my web site, is to meet other traders, plain and simple. After trading for 4 years, I still haven't met any other full-time traders. I just think it would be great to form a "trading-buddy" group, not to discuss tips and stock plays, but to occasionally talk about the trader...

I'm looking into IB, but I don't like the user interface. Looks clunky and unreliable, and reading user's comments about it, most have problems. I love their commission structure though. As for ESignal, been using them since '98, and love them. Always online and reliable. NST

Advertise for what? I do not sell anything. I am just curious about the current landscape of traders.

trade full time for a living, deriving 100% of their income from trading? And how many of you are home based vs. firm based? I am a full time home based trader, but feel there aren't many like me......

Thinking of switching to IB, but need to figure something out. If you use ESignal for quotes, and do not receive quotes from IB itself, I assume you can't just click on a bid or ask to automatically load a price (like you can in CyberTrader). So if you are bidding for a fast moving stock, you...

After trading for a living from my home for the past 4 years, I would just like to say to all people thinking of trading, the rewards are great! Aside from the money, everyday we are our own bosses, have no commute, freedom that is unmatched, and watch a market that is never the same two days in...

to the IRS I read about. Traders say you have to list each stock bought/sold through out the year, NOT using the 1099 your broker sends. I have been simply sending the 70 or so pages sent to me by my broker (1099) with my year end 1040 since 1998. The IRS has never told me not to. Why do so many...

You really don't need sophisticated software/hardware to trade for a living. I have been doing it for 4 years now, with a simple desktop computer and ESignal Realtime Quotes ($900 a year). Email me at northshoretrading@hotmail.com if you have questions..... NST

and split the profits with a firm, esp. since you are a swing trader (where commissions are small)? Where are you from? NST

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys.

There seems to be no web site (other than Worldwidetraders.com which charges for access) that allows home based traders to find other traders in their area. I find that, being a home based full time trader, there are times when I would really like to meet with other traders in my area for an...
