    Serious Job Losses....

    Indeed. We are only in the third trading month of what will be a very long trading year. With the current levels of the Dow, you would really have to place a technical guess that we should retest, if not, break the low of last year. I can not see this current phase as a rock solid bottom for the...

    Have series7 and 55 need help

    I am assuming that your U5 has been completed upon your departure??? The good news is that Worldco is an NASD firm. So with that, the transition from a paper work logistical perspective to your next trading job is very painless. You have 2 years to jump on with another NASD prop firm or...

    Pairs Trading On a daily basis

    so is this somewhat in the neighborhood of what you traders are talking about.......today I wanted to buy IMCL & TARO while shorting PFE & SGP.....it would have turned out to be a pretty good intraday play as IMCL has been on a solid uptrend, TARO earnings momentum......while PFE and most of the...

    AGP

    Why is it that the coolest video cards only come in AGP slot form, yet most high end retail like Sony's, HP's, even Dells, etc only contain system boards with one freakin' AGP slot and several PCI. What am I supposed to do with the PCI slots, make scrambled eggs?? Is anyone running a stock...

    Pairs Trading On a daily basis

    I have been researching pairs trading techniques and gotten the "phone book." A few of you have alluded to and briefly mentioned pairs trading in the shorter term perspective. I am wondering if any of you are able to utilize this strategy on a daily basis, taking a flat position into the...

    Pixel ratios @ 15" vs. 17" vs. 19" LCD's

    There has been a couple of discussions recently about the benefits of LCD screens, and what kind of particular set ups and quantities of screens traders are using..... Here is my concern. For several years, I have been using 98SE at a pixel ratio of 800 by 600. Everything is big. Big screens...

    How does ISE function ?

    I have had the same experiences with ISE outlined in the starting post of this thread. This has only entailed low volume and thin traded options though. Issues with extreme volume and liquidity such as the QQQ's do not present a problem. In addition, ISE pulls and posts orders back and forth...

    credit spreads

    Remember the key basic premise here...... Yes the stock could move up or down and your ultimate position is limited. That is the whole point of the spread. If done properly with the right amount of money, leverage, strikes, timing, and out of moneyness, you simply do not care what happens...

    credit spreads

    Credit spreads are most effectively done in the very basic sense. If you really want to speculate or be a guru, try the calendar stuff, etc. The keys to consistently making profits on spreads ( i.e. in the same class and expiration date, selling a put and buying a lower strike put to...
