    What do you think of this deal ? (Futures prop firm)

    Okwon, we had this discussion before with Matrix Trading. They extended an interview to me but I never took it because the deal seems ridiculous if you are NOT from Chicago. It's basically just $30K salary plus you only get bonus when you reach ABOVE $100K. geez. and it's only 33% or...

    Anybody Else Hate Quote.com

    Dang, it's that horrible?! If I complain about eSignal and TS, then Qcharts will just kill me huh? haha. Well, I'll see it for myself when they get around to assigning me a trial password. Anyhow, the only reason I want to use it is because there's this software that needs it as a...

    Anybody Else Hate Quote.com

    Wait, is Quote.com the same as Qcharts????? This is confusing. In the other forum(Qcharts: Are their servers still junk? ), I asked and people said it was OK. And now it's not? If it's worst than TS7 then I ain't going to switch over. So, what is is guys? I'm still waiting for my free...

    How to Improve your Stock Trading via Futures Trading

    trader99, thanks for the post! I enjoyed reading some of the posts you written last year while you were struggling. It seemed like you made some really good progress. I'm just starting out and it was tough until the rally came. But still bumbling my way through. I'm still learning those...

    Tradestation ES data

    MichaelD, Well, just to let you know, I've been having this high CPU 100% usage problem the last few weeks. Giovanni and Annette both have been really on the ball and contacting me via phones and emails to help solve this issue. But the issue REMAINS the same. So, perhaps you can help...

    Qcharts: Are their servers still junk?

    vhehn, I clicked that link and just signed up for a free 30days trial. Hope it's good. But apparently, I'll have to wait for 3 days to get an account going! BTW, during the trial is the feed in RT or delayed? And if you want RT you have to pay it during the free trial but not the...

    What do you think of this deal ? (Futures prop firm)

    $2500 is pretty high "desk fee" I would say. So, the $2500 is taken off the top and you get paid 50% of your NET Profit MONTHLY? is that how it works? And what kind of size do they allow you to throw around? If you can bang around a 100 contracts then 25K-50K/month is possible(???) if you...

    Why Degrees Don't Matter in the Market!

    Dude, no one is riding you. We are jsut saying it's best to be conservative now. Regroup. Refocus. And things will improve. No point sticking your head out there and get killed in the blender. Don't worry. One day you'll find it whatever it is that's meant for you.

    OK. Thanks guys! I currently have a Matrox dual head AGP card. So, I should get a Matrox dual head PCI card? How much would that run me? I don't wanna spend a lot.

    Dual Head PCI Video Card

    You guys know of any good dual head PCI (NOT AGP) video card for cheap? Unless you guys know fo a motherboard with 2 AGP ports on it. I doubt it. Basically I want to add 2 more monitors and not upgrade to a new PC. But I'm running out of AGP port(only 1 duh! hehe). So that means I have to get...

    Why Degrees Don't Matter in the Market!

    While that is true, what do you do about people like Gordeon Gecko and the rest of 95-99% of the people who try to trade and FAIL?! Tell them not to go to school and just hope one day they will figure it out and hopefully not go broke/bankrupct. Sure, I think talented people are from EVERY...

    Why Degrees Don't Matter in the Market!

    OVertheLINE: ROFL!! You got that one right! All these young guys who decided not to go to college or drop out because they don't want to work hard and now facing a downturn in the economy and just banking their entire future on daytrading. It can happen, but it takes time to get good at...

    Annual Trading Checkup Progress

    Hmm... It's only been going up since March. But last year was still pretty scary downward trend except for the rebound in July and then Oct. But as traders aren't we supposed to NOT care if it's bull or bear market? I think trader99 is trying to say is have you IMPROVED in your trading method...

    NYSE LiquidityQuote Experiences???

    Since it's called the NYSELiquidity Quote, I would imagine it to be all of the Dow 30stocks EXCEPT those that are NOT traded on the NYSE. Those would be INTC and MSFT.

    Annual Trading Checkup Progress

    Wow. So, most people are doing OK. I guess this board is pretty good. Given that they say 95% of traders lose, you would think the number of people putting down they blew out their acct should be higher than 0. Maybe they didn't participate in the poll b/c they blew out. haha. I'm tryin' to...

    How George Soros knows what he knows

    No, we would KNOW the name George Soros if the British pund didn't break. But he would be associated with the other big British loser speculator like Nick Leeson of Barings Bank who bet big and lost it all. He would be infamous instead of famous! LOL. There seemed to be a moral hazard problem...

    To the Successful Traders

    And not only that, they think all you do is hit a buy and then hit a sell button and cash in. Changino! Or go short then cover. Most people don't think it's work. But it is WORK, because of the hundreds if not thousands of hours you put into learning your craft and perfecting. It's kinda like...

    closing my trading account today

    I totally agree! GG should NOT LIE on his resume or job experience. That' s just plain wrong! Do you know WHY? It's bad enough to be unemployed(GG), but it's WORST to be UNEMPLOYABLE!!! If a company finds that you lied then it's OVER! Especially in this economy. That black mark will CARRY...
