Any suggestions on how I may hedge against EUR/USD. I want to protect myself against swings against me, while keeping my position. I'm trading the E6 future on CME. Thanks!

Patek - it's a good deal. I'll give it a go - will post my experiences with them if anyone cares.

Yes, I noticed that as well. Can a US citizen trade at a canadian firm? Thanks.

Topper - yeah I wouldn't expect any other way :) thanks

Not sure about that. There was sub-pennies and automated systems. What I traded didn't depend on being quickest to the book. Tighter spreads it seems today also.. That's ok, tighter spreads generally better for me. Lower commissions and better ECN rebates now would have made me 2x...

Hey guys - I've been out the game for a few years. Looking to get back into prop trading stocks part-time. Got lots and lots of bills - so don't really have any cash (or desire to) to lock up at a prop firm. Looking for very low-commissions and a profit split. I have documentation from...

well lodging a complaint against your firm - you may want to pull your $ out first! :) Maybe the exchange they are a member of.. I suspect - increasingly - daytrader trades are getting crossed internally by either the firm or whatever ecn its going to. Interactive Brokers been doing this...

try this - get a totally separate data feed with time and sales and watch that against what you're currently seeing.

looks like it sell on the news after hrs. $20B a quarter in sales, that's impressive considering where they were when Jobs took over. 4 products, that's ok. MSFT has 2 products - Windows and Office, I guess Xbox too.. GOOG has 1 product - ad sales

1. find a consistent edge 2. be prepared for the day that edge stops working and STOP when it does 3. repeat #1 all strategies are fundamentally based on either following or fighting a trend, within the context of a certain time frame. The thing you are trading alternates over time between...

Appreciate any insights on this, which I'm trying to better grasp.. The Fed (call it QE or whatever) buys up govt debt. Which it seems anxious to do. Basically printing money to pay for the deficit. I've heard this referred to as, putting it on the Fed's balance sheet. The fed...

Double-top. This "rally" is over..

bond trader is right though, that's the Chinese trying to be cute.. "Don't let your currency fall and we'll let our currency rise".

Find out who's the oldest. I'd stand with someone who didn't get shut down, blow up their firm, or lose all their customers in the last 10 or 15 years.

Hoping some folks can clear this up for me. For many years I've heard people emphatically state that the typical 1 year lockup of trader contribution is "SEC Regulations". What does this mean? There is some statute that a prop firm trader must have capital locked up for 1 year? I have some...

The ridicule is bs. No-one is in any position to judge anyone unless they have seen their P&L - AND by looking on their monitor cause anyone can doctor up a scanned image of a K-1!!!! Why put up $25k if you can put up $5k? To look good to people on the forums? Makes no sense.. Any...

I spoke to them about trading with them - about 8 yrs ago. They are still in business so they're certainly not fly by night - which is a big factor IMO. Please post any experiences if you sign up - I'm looking for a firm currently.

Anyone that has an acct with them, I'm willing to do some free development work - cannot sign up a new acct, and want to do some apps that use their quotes.

A little tired of Google making every announcement sound like they've invented peanut butter! Free quotes, ok, now how about getting rid of all those obnoxious ads!
