who said anything about how you acquire an edge(on craigslist)?? all I said was that an edge is more important than capital. if you have an edge (the ability to make money) than you can start with 20k. i'm not sure why all these issues are brought into it. reread what i said. i know an edge...

I guess we have a different definition of an edge. My definition is not just an idea of how to make money. My definition of an edge is that you already have the skill.

I agree with propseeker. Equity is not the most important thing. I knew a lot of semi wealthy people that tried to trade and lost it all. It's about having an edge. I'd rather have an edge and start with 20k than to start with 200k and no edge. I also started with low capital base and built...

That's what I thought. So, what registered firms use buyside desks?

Are you saying that the Clearing firms have buyside desks?

No, it's not a gimmick. From my understanding, if the firm uses the trader's capital for net cap, it is subject to a one year lock up. If the capital is segregated and not used for net cap, then there's no lock up. It really depends on the capitalization of the firm. Some firms will and some...

I use 2 pc's and do not use it for the monitors. Each pc has its own monitor(s).

I use a KVM switch and rely on it daily. There are a lot of cheap slow ones. I use the Linksys and it's super fast and reliable. The slow ones can take 3 secs before you can control the other pc. The Linksys is instant. For other brands, they've lasted less than a year. Knock on wood, my...

Anyone heard of Transcend in Tx? Looking for comments or experiences.

does anyone have a retail account at Oceanview or most of you prop traders? there are different risks pertaining to each situation.

I agree with you. I'm a scalper and speed is MONEY. The guys who say that it won't make you money must have strategies where speed is not as important. So, making a blanket statement is inaccurate.
