    How do top traders bounce back after major setbacks?

    You got it!!! I think the toughest part is overcoming the negative mind set that arises from such a situation. Its very easy to have negative expectations or just a fear based mentality after a big loss. Such projections will cloud your judgment and color situations. Its good to have a...

    PDT Rule & Prop Firms

    I may be incorrect and anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong. The LLC gets 4-1 buying power from whatever broker it has its account with. So if they have $100,000 in the account, they have a total of $400,000 BP. A trader who is trading with them gives them 5k as a capital contribution...

    Overnight interest

    Just curious for those of you that trade through an LLC or Prop. First, are there any Prop firms that cover interest on overnights? Second, if your trading through an LLC, does your LLC cover these charges or pass them along to the trader?

    Stat Software

    Anyone know of any program that can automatically break down your stats by time of day, stock sector and longs/shorts. I feel this would be extremely helpful in evaluating patterns in ones trading so that adjustments can be made. I trade through Anvil so if there is something that can take...

    Salvia I was looking at the same trendline along with intraday fibs. Im Short 56.25, in a little to soon but as you said, as long as resistance holds should be good. Though the longer it takes to come in, the lower the probability of it happening.

    Still Haven't Filed 2006 Tax Return

    First off I would suggest going to an accountant. That being said. You can carry what ever net capital loss you have forward. You can only however deduct 3k of it from your earned income each year. So if you lost 10k (net from k-1's and stocks). 3k is written off and 7k carries forward...

    best prop/llc in new york city?

    You make a good point there. If the firm does blow up, your money is still protected through the LLC. whether the LLC is going to give your money back is another story. I would think most likely a serious LLC would go to another broker to continue there own business. But when referring...

    best prop/llc in new york city?

    As far as I know you are not SIPC insured with either. Only retail accounts are SIPC insured. Payout is 100% with Prop. At least with Assent. And the health insurance plans offered by LLC's are paid out of your pocket. You just get a group rate which is slightly lower than if you would...
