Would having such a document have kept you out of the business? I think no matter what the success/failure rate is, we all also know people who made six figures in their first year of trading and have made millions since. And once you put that in the same document, I think everyone is still...

My problem with mail in rebates is that I never remember to send them in. If I could go back and get all the rebate money for stuff I should have sent in I could probably open my own monitor manufacturing plant. I always assume I am paying the pre-rebate price, then if I remember to send it...

I personally would clarify this to read -- Never start trading remote, start in an office. But when you learn to make money - out of sight and out of mind are two very nice things actually I have found. I'll cast my vote here for Echo, I have been with them for a long time and have always...

I never thought about it like that, but that is a very good way to look at it, and very true in my opinion. The successful traders I have seen also have the entrepreneurial spirit and you do get the sense that they would be successful in any field they would have entered. Nice observation...

Yeah, I figured that out. Your post was about me though. I am fine with you feeling that way, but don't you think you make a lot of assumptions there? You are saying that these multi-million dollar highly-regulated exchange member, SEC and state-registered firms are openly lying to the...

Ok limitdown, it's becoming apparent that you may just be pissed at the world right now because all you did was nitpick my thread for any negative thing you could find. I'm going to assume you have not been doing well trading lately and are looking to take it out on someone... But I'll gladly...

Is there a link to this story?

Why bother to deny it anymore guys, he's on to us... The lie is over... Alright, here's the real story... Pretty much all of us here who post a lot work at Jack and the Box local #374, we take turns on our breaks posting messages here and on some other site where we pretend we are...

I'm cracking up that you quoted the whole thing :D We are going to make Baron have to upgrade his servers just to hold all the text. :D And I completely agree, no reason to do volume just to do volume. When the edge is not there to be had, trading is a mistake. My volume fluctuates a lot...

I agree with limitdown 100% and feel bad not asking these questions myself. I just wrote a sermon in the other post he refers to and my sugar-buzz is dying down so I'll keep this short. But before you decide that you want to trade full time, why don't you find a firm that will let you come...

This is one of the few times I will agree with Don... I am getting lost in all the math in a lot of these posts, but all I know is that I have done quite well in trading and it is solely because I was at prop firms. If retail were better, I'd do it, I'd be stupid not to. But I firmly believe...

I think this would be a fair request in certain circumstances. Would I be willing to post my sheets here for everyone to see? Heck no! And why? Because I DO still make money (not the ridiculous cash like a few years ago, don't get too excited) and I never see my strategies talked about...

I'm interested to hear an update whether you get on with a prop firm or not. I have not heard of any prop firms backing guys in a long time. Give us an update later whether it went well for you or not.

Advantages: Emini's lead stocks, so to profitably trade the emini's you have to be really good; to trade stocks based on what the emini's do, you have a larger margin of error and a bigger theoretical edge. I tried the mini's and got whacked around like a pinata, I know there must be some...

I agree, it's not like it used to be. I think it really seems to depend on the specialist... The same guys treat me nice, and the same guys bitch slap me. There are a few stocks out there that are great with the fills still, but they are becoming more rare. One thing I have found myself doing...

I have been with Echo for years, and like every firm they had their times when they would put out a new version or upgrade and things would not go as planned, but that was a long time ago. I really do recommend these guys to anyone, and Sterling overall has been rock solid for quite some time...

hardrock shoots... and scores!!! Nice work! :D

:D I wondered why he was asking, I couldn't figure out why he would want to know. Geez.

Don't they all? I think it is hard to find one that doesn't use them these days.

Well, let me be the first to start... I just ran in the backyard and took a picture of my gold tooth... here you go.:D
