not sure what their value-add is here. they look a lot like the trading equivalent of a mortgage broker. which doesn't mean they're bad or evil or anything. ... just not clear what value they're adding. Which is why I'm looking forward to the chat. André

How so? I don't mind paying the inactive fee, because of how cheap it is to experiment on a position. With a cent per share, all I need is two cents to break even. I trade 100 share lots, usually. At $10 a side I need 20 cents to break even. You're going to pay one way or the other...

Use an average distribution of $6 for the maximum $10 monthly inactive fee. You pay $6 * 12 = $72 per year and $72 * 30 = $2160 for 30 years per account without taking into consideration inflation and fee increase etc. Ed Jones currently holds my IRA, it's $30 a year. I don't have a...

i just got 2 books. man i hope they dont send me a book for every account. They didn't send me one... ::wipes tear from eye:: You can send me one, if you get inundated! André

i believe they used to be "innovative traders". Correct, DirectNet bought out Innovative Trading earlier this year. i don't think you need a middleman to negotiate for you. better for a trader to pick up the phone and call some of the prop shops and close a deal on their own. Perhaps...

Not sure how many of you have checked out one of our newer sponsors on Elite Trader, DirectNet Trading... but they sure seem to offer a truly unique service to traders, and that is as being a "Trader's Agent". DirectNet Trading negotiates pricing structures for experienced, high volume...

...is a genius on Java compared to me. Just FYI. Not sure why you're getting booted out. When I was having troubles, I could not get in at all. Do you have other apps using Java, that might be keeping the older version as the default for your web browser? I never figured out exactly...

Care to share the ammount of your trading capital? Welcome to Elite Trader, by the way! André

Working with him on the chat we did, he was professional in every way. How odd to know someone, work well with them, and then... André

Volume does make a flat fee like $9.95 worth while. But even traders that regularly trade 1,000+ are going to scale in and out, or want to use test size positions. They're going to have several accounts. That's why the flat fee model gets such criticism, it prices smaller traders (in both...

Just bumping this up to the top: Fernando Gonzalez and Redwood Trading will be joining us soon in the Elite Trader Chat Room for a chat on applying broad market analysis to professional trading. André

Brandon, thanks for joining us in the Elite Trader Chat Room! Folks, we're going to have Brandon and/or Toni on again in the coming weeks for another evening class. Stay tuned. André

We are going to continue on with this experiment of a second room, with a defined structure/slant. My goal would be for us to have maybe 4-5 different rooms, on different trading topics. It may not work. You need about 15 people in a room, to sustain a good chat, daily. And that means you...

Nitro: I care because, like a large majority of every other post I have made on ET, I try to debunk people that don't know what they are talking about, you in particular. You know, I don't get this. DB has simply made it clear that he'd like a room without the chit chat. He didn't mince...

Equating posting girly pictures and not being able to talk about a stocks in a futures trading room is WAY out of any reasonable argument to be made for having a separate futures room. Does it bother you to have a separate room for Futures? I've certainly heard from people that the main...

You are all a joke. Of course, when I was in the main room today, people were posting urls to girly pictures. That's not exactly why I come to a trading room. We are interested in exploring other ways to make the chat area useful to traders. I personally would like to see a room with...

Well, it does take some time to establish a room... so help him out folks. Give it another week, DB. André

I'm in Oregon, the granola capital of the world. I sit typing wearing my Birkenstocks to prove it. And while it's pretty liberal(left thinking) here, we actually send our child to a rather mainstream(conservative) preschool. They sometimes take the kids to MacDonalds. In the year and a half...

Been thinkin' about the Atkins diet, myself. Don't know that the headaches are from the diet. More likely, I'd think they might be from caffeine withdrawal. Could be from sugar too. Cold turkey, I've heard it takes about 2 weeks get over serious caffeine withdrawals. As for diet... anyone...

People did seem to get stuck on the cost. I thought it was a great chat. Very informative. We had alot of great questions. If anyone's interested: http://www.elitetrader.com/ch/transcripts/currency_trading.cfm André
