Don, I have been semi-critical of some of your earlier posts, so I wanted to post a positive one when I saw something I like. This last post of yours is something I can respect. This is the purpose for these boards, to enlighten traders for the betterment of us all. With posts like the...

You'll have to find his old posts. I spent a little time trying to find some of his better ones, I couldn't track them down. If he is in fact still around these parts :), perhaps he could enlighten us as to the whereabouts of some of the best ones? There are some good laughs hidden away...

Do they pay a salary in addition to a cut of the profits?

Don, the "holding money" I think most people are concerned with is this one about the Bright policy of withholding 25% of traders' profits for a year, from a previous thread: This was never responded to before, could you enlighten us as to why this is? Thanks, Jim

Thanks candle! I haven't seen him do his thing lately, but you've got to admit it got pretty amusing at times when he got going.

You know, there's a reason Jerry Springer makes so much $$$. This stuff is fun to watch, no question about it. For long time readers - Who was the guy that used to randomly post all that stuff about making all the money in NVDA? Everyone wanted Baron to add a feature to block him. That guy...

12 hours from first post to last, that has to be a new record! From bold to battered! dr1865cold - I saw that too! On top of everything else, his previous posts seem to magically change! In his short time here, he definitely learned the edit feature. Enough said.

airspeed, Instead of you and John Davis going back and forth about the facts, I think we all should wait and see what Don's response is. After all, these are all questions directed to him. All of these things that John is saying, tons of traders at Bright have heard the same things. John...

Don, Just saw you response pop up after I sent my previous post, thanks for your post. Can you cover a question you missed from my earlier post: Do your First Alert quotes in your offices come from a satellite feed? Also, you say you have other software besides Redi Plus, but your...

Don't get me wrong, I also value his input and welcome him to the forum. I am sure we all will enjoy the fact that we can now ask him about some of the rumors about his firm. I hope he can shed light on earlier dicussions about whether they get their First Alert quotes through the satellite...

Depends on your perspective. If you have 100K and get 20x with Echo, then you have 2 Million $$$, twice as good as the Bright million you talk about. I have found the best answer is to call the different firms and describe your style and capital, they then will usually tell you exactly how...

Don, I find it interesting that you are deciding to log on and start to commercialize this board. I hope that other firms do not follow your lead, as I think it is innappropriate for firms to come here to an open forum and hype themselves as you are doing. Your "fine line" of referring...

mgb, Block Trading was not a pro firm, they were a retail firm. I have been pro for quite some time and not heard of anyone but Harbor go out of business on the pro side. It does seem like the retail firms come and go with the tide. -Jim

andrasnm, Echo will only be offering financial futures (not all commodities) as a supplement to large traders with high acount balances, they want to compete with IB's commodities rates which are one of the lowest. The reason they are getting connected is so they will be one of the first...

Andras, Great Post. Very good! -Jim

I love all the new things, but I have to cast my vote for the old colors too. The beige was one of elite's trademarks. -Jim

I'm not sure how you are using that feature with IB, I have never traded there, but I scalp a lot of stock and you described what I do all day. The one drawback that I see to the way you are doing it, I may be wrong but this is what it sounds like, is that the system is waiting for the first...

Rushman, That only applies to ECHOtrader. First Alert's charts are legendary, very very powerful. That's why I use it, I have yet to find another package that can do what I need. First Alert allows you to anything you can dream up, the filters as well reign supreme. There are many pro...

exce26, As the old saying goes, "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." So was my experience with Bright. Buttermilk, I am now connected through a 512K DSL and it runs like a champ. I tried a cable modem, but there are times when you can tell the rest of the...

I trade remotely at Echo and am very happy. The software is very good, it definitely is unbelievably fast, but the charts leave something to be desired. I would recommend you use a second chart service for more technical studies. I run Echotrader on 2 monitors and First Alert on three others...
