    1st Year Salary

    Summer is a great time to start. Good time to learn keystrokes and not get spun (although things were moving last summer). I think this season will have some serious down time. Which is good to learn and run trials. good luck

    Penny Scalping/Liquidity/Rebate Traders - What Now?

    Sounds strangely familiar to a company called swift trade. The funniest part about all the managers that try to teach this style, is that they really can't do it themselves. They are teaching something that worked two years ago. Once profitable, has now been manipulated to the point where...

    Time Spent Doing "Homework"

    For me it's not general research, but more mental preparation. I have to take at least 15 min every morning specifically going over what I plan to do in every market scenario. (so when the market moves I just react as planned) But I'm always going over it, during the course of a day...

    Scans and alerts who's the best

    I use Nextrend for their LiveScan tool. It's pretty good. I trade with Etrade professional It's just a shame that E*Trade's alert tool is so USELESS!! (hopefully someone who can change it will read this).

    Sucker plays

    The sad part is that you know this already. You hear the same shit everytime. Every book ever written on trading has the same psychological reasons for losing money. not true. You can tell a 'sucker' over and over what they are doing wrong and they still end up doing it. And the people...

    Daytrading Currencies Explodes

    Daytrading in general, (although still difficult from a psychological perspective), is easier when intraday moves are larger. With the US dollar tanking, there have been some seriously large intraday moves in currencies. Like everything else, soon enough this market will change and the...

    Earning over 250K day trading at prop firm

    You're right, these stocks make their one day moves then they goto sleep. But is it not possible to play these stocks on the one day, then jump to the next big mover?? and if that is not you're strategy fine. But don't tell this guy, who's just trying to get help, that he can't make good...

    Earning over 250K day trading at prop firm

    sorry dude you have no idea what you are talking about. This is pure ignorance. There are still lots of big movers in the NASDAQ. Take a look at the chart for IPIX just this past friday Apr 2, 2004. All these moves were on volume also. You could very easily accumulate at 10 000 share...

    commission rates for volume trader

    NYSEscalpa take note. unfortunately this is the reality of the trading business. People only care when their own money is involved. Which is why you in no way deserve the BP your looking for with the amount of risk your willing to put up. We are supposed to believe your not like this...

    Earning over 250K day trading at prop firm

    I started in '99 and have seen some people grow their accounts at exponential rates. Never have I seen a million in a month but the way the market used to move it would not surprise me. Nonetheless, even if someone made a million in a month their risk must have also been equally as high...

    commission rates for volume trader

    As an office manager I would not be willing to give you the bp without building a relationship first. If I understand you correctly, you want 1.5 million in BP (lol) ..... you probably could lose $15k just to get into a position. it's irrelevant because you say so??? I understand the need to...

    Etrade Pro

    I've traded five different softwares and am a pretty active trader (avg. 100 000 shares a day) . I don't think I could trade any other software. It's just that good and reliable. And I would even be willing to pay higher costs because I know what happens when you make the move to crap...

    My apologies, I obviosly meant vacancies are at an all time high. Good job Don. The question remains, how come no one else caught that mistake.

    Real estate Speculators - Rental Market

    But if rental vacancies are way up shouldn't these apartments be losing money. Not covering their mortgages because the building is not fully rented. And if this is the case wouldn't it be a bad invesment, one that some might be looking to get out of. and if they all want out of it shouldn't...
