After further cosideration I think the best way to argue against this tax is from the viewpoint of the 180 million investors in this country. This was posted on one of the blogs and has many good talking points. Consider the political fallout from this tax. 180 million investor class has...

Oldtrader is spot on. I have posted on every blog and article. It is important that we get our voice heard to those in the spotlight. Most of these folks are new to the debate so every insight we have helps. Keep up the good work guys.

Send a note to inform them. They are reading them. Erin read a couple on the air after the break. http://www.cnbc.com/id/22898571/

You guys are missing the point. This is not about the DeFazio bill. That is DOA. It is about the $9 Trillion budget deficit. It is about the Healthcare reform bill that is losing steam because people don't know how to pay for it. It is about an administration that is looking for creative...

Erin Burnett asked for comment on air. Send them here: http://www.cnbc.com/id/22898571/ We do not need this thing to get traction! Post comments!

I second that. Take a few minute to comment folks. I paraphrase the same talking points to save time. You would be suprised who reads these blogs, op eds, etc.

RBC has a prop desk on Flagler. http://72.47.192.39/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=52&Itemid=290 The commissions are high last I check (3 years ago)

momo, I have never understood why some people are so hostile toward veteran traders like Don :confused: He has a a firm that is similar to a retail model... Only with leverage and nose for working strategies. So what? If you don't like the model or firm don't trade there. But to...

Momo do you really think anyone who trades any volume at Bright pays those rates?

Correct me if I am wrong, but anyone can file a "rip off" report on that site including anyone with an ax to grind or sour grapes.....

I pair etf's with similar counterparts like s&p 500 growth index and Russell 1k growth and others. I have not venture into etf : futures arb. I thought that the ranges would be to tight. Its good some non algo traders making it work. I will have to take a look.

I know some people who have had decent luck with this strategy. The logic is sound. There seems to be an edge. Good luck.

You have it all wrong. The market is ever changing. You must change and adapt with it. You work an edge until it does not work any more and then you move on. A career trading is a career that is ever changing. When I got started we were shifting from fraction pricing to decimals... Traders had...

Not so, you can find an edge just pulling up ratio charts on highly correlated securities in e-signal. Many pairs have tight ranges over long periods of time that can be easily seen on these ratio charts. You don't need complecated programs a team of quants, etc......... sometimes its best to...

Statistical edge. The often used coin flip analogy: If you flip a coin 1000 times you are likely have 50% heads and 50% tails. If You pay me $2 every time I flip heads, and I pay you $1 every time I flip tails, I will make money over time. Variations of this are often used in Stat arb...

Opening orders and pair trading (what a lot of Bright traders are into) can have an edge. It is up to the individual to make it work.

Hedge funds, private outfits, and a few firms like First NY, Opus, and maybe Schonfeld. I-Banks and Banks typically stick to Fixed Income (bonds, structured products, etc) but do have equity prop desks. The 100% model (prop/arcade) is like the old floor exchange model. You used to buy or...
