Lately I make about 75% of my money in the first 1.5 hrs. I still trade all day but the afternoons are slow (trading nyse only).

Do you remember appx how much he was up? What time of the day was it?

Can you explain how this hurts your trading?

The way to get training from other traders is to make friends with guys making money, or find someone willing to just help you which is rare. It won't be easy, but what business is? If you just start trading from home and your only learning resources are ET and books you are really stacking...

I think they employ programs that can find people playing unusually. Also they give $ rewards for reporting cheaters.

:confused:

No, most prop fims will also have a retail division. The difference is usually a lower commission, 100% payout, only 4:1 margin, no license req'd, and a larger initial deposit ($25-30k). Most prop firms employ similar strategies so you will learn variations of mostly the same strategies at...

Look at it this way...if you start trading remote from home you probably have about a 5% chance of making it through your first year. If you go prop then you probably have a 30% chance. Most props will require $5-10k and a series 7,55, and maybe 63. It's worth it. The most important factor...

Woohoo! That's $6k/yr savings for me :D

What stock?

Sure, I could be there around 2pm. Shivastar join us if you like.

If only that were true...there would be a lot of very rich traders! It's time to change whatever you are doing imo.

danjos, your mistake was using a market order. The specialist took advantage of it to pocket $200. Had you offered out a limit order you would have got 28. cuz, this has nothing to do with Assent...it has to do only with DOT and the specialist.

Nice numbers! Mind if I ask how long you have been able to put up results like that? How long have you been trading?
