Package was probably worth about 40K after taxes. But yeah, I think I got a pretty opportunity to try this out full time. It is sooo much easier focusing on trading exclusively. Not having the peepers crusing by all the time looking at my monitor and having to watch my back!! Damn nice relief.

Yeah, I'm sure it didn't help!! I became more and more blatant about it the more money I was making. I said that I only traded during my lunch hour since I'm on PST but I'm sure when people walked by and saw 4 realtime charts up at 10:30am PST they knew I was pretty much doing my own thing until...

Hey. I got Ensign and IB up and running. What a nice combo!! First day trading futures and love it. WTF was I wasting time in stocks for?? Thanks for the heads up on Ensign, I am very impressed.

Believe it or not I made most of my money short and have always had a short bias although I always like to go with the flow long or short. Yes, I am doubting myself a bit now. But I still stick to my gut and pull the trigger with my stops and targets in place.

I am not ignorant. I know that a lot of that run must have been luck. I'm looking for long term consistency and improving my strategy. I am now able to dedicate all of my time to trading and don't want to burn a lot of capital through the learning curve. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel I...

I don't think I've ever been accused of being scared money!! If anything I am quite aggressive and have adapted a risk averse dimension to my trading. I have enough to be live comfortably for at least a year. But I also have to look at my opportunity costs. I would need to make over 6 figures to...

Is there any real advantage to these charting packages over the boxed IB charts? I used to have esignal and Cybertrader as a broker (when I didn't care about costs) and didn't see too much value in charting software. It ended up being more of a handicap since I would try to use all the...

I have about 90K liquid to eventually trade with if I feel this is the path I should take. The point about my degree is that in life you should always try to take advantage of any edge you have. In the corporate world that degree is my edge... in the market I have no edge!! :confused:

Very True. I traded only 3 times per week due to account restrictions. I was doing fine day trading (2-3 time per day) and half of my 6K draw down was based on 1 trade where I stubbornly pulled mt stop and got killed. My biggest problem has been trading in choppy stocks/markets. My strategy...

ok... I know that asking for advice on message board is not the smartest thing in the world but here's my story. Yesterday I got laid off with a good severance package. I'm 28 years old and I have been trading stocks on and off for about 4 years. I took a long break and invested most of my...

Anyone have an opinion on Cybertrader? I am currently with Fidelity and am not too thrilled about there order routing. (Basically route everything to NFSC). I am also interested in futures so Cybertrader covers stocks options and futures in one platform. Ok commisions and backed by Schwab...

I am in the same boat. Been using Active Trader Pro but am fed up. They have poor execution and their commisions aren't that cheap?!! Where's the value? You lose more on slippegage in 2 trades to pay for a years worth of extra comminsion with a more reliable broker. The only reason I still...

Are there any direct access brokers that have trading software that allows tunneling network traffic on port 80 and authentication to an internet proxy? I use Fidelity's Active Trader Pro (which is garbage) and I'm looking for something more sophisticated. I have checked with IB...
