YEs...its full of speculation and hearsay...which is helpful, but first person testimony and some real numbers tell the real truth. From some east coast elitist type friends from college (rowers) I know for all of them it was all about who you knew, and then you had a good chance of getting...

Hmmm...does anyone that trades at these firms and is successful/happy/profitable actually have something to say?

Good analysis a few posts ago, From what I've seen using SR with Global, and what many system guys apparently do is develop systems in Tradestation, and then use TPAK to take on the buy/sell signals from TS and execute them in SR...works pretty good. In terms of systems, learn TS and...

Thanks...now I know why the thread is gone...I remember it had a great analysis piece from Duey Decimal about big traders and volume...oh well...its too bad, many would benefit from the really good responses that come from time to time.

Does anyone have the link...to that old post...hundreds of posters weighed in on Franz and his trading, I want to see that blotter copy.

I've been trading IIP since 2000, and once again the stock is back at it...up 100% in a few weeks, up from the .40's to 1.15 today, with highs this week into the 1.20's. Sure, having come from Seattle and worked with guys from IIP, and being a tech analyst...they do have a good product...and...

Sounds like a great deal with Global...to get the real X-Trader minus the high monthly fixed cost....X-Trader is the ferrari of trading platforms out there....who wouldn't want to use it.

There was a huge thread the other week, about an analysis of Franz's trades, and the whole thing being a sham....anyone know what ever happened there....why doesnt Franz just post an account statement from a major FCM...that would answer our questions forever.

Great comments here...nothing but a buncha experts, hell CNBC probably cant put together a better line up for a show. So where is everyone getting their mentors from, I noticed a few comments and the thread poster saying the mentor was key. Any pointers on where to look, and what to look for?

What is the trading platform...everyone is using for their scalping?

I noticed the email and thought I would lend my opinion and experience with Global thus far. First of all in terms of execution, they're as good as it gets...you have to remember, this firm is a main IB of some very large FCMS, so the execution connection for both pit and electronic is based on...

Does any regular stock trading firm offer 10:1 margins? How do they charge you for this. For example do any firms offer hassle free 10:1 margins, with a low transactional cost ~$4, and an interest on the borrowed amount under 10%. For example, a 10k deposit would give you 100k in buying...

It seems so many guys who know nothing, want to become rockstar traders. I've been investing and trading 10 years now and its tough to make a buck. So many guys try to pitch ideas and set themselves up to be pros...but no one seems to want to read or study the fundamentals or reality much...

Yeah...I've had it for a while as well...I just hope it pops UP and not down...someday.

IIP- Internap Network Services This is an upcoming ISP, with some of the biggest names out there...as clients such as * Adobe * Hewlett-Packard * Motorola * VeriSign * Vonage * Colgate-Palmolive * Duke Energy * Edmunds.com * Google * Toyota...

Thanks for the reply...their website doesnt mention an AZ address...kind of odd.

I was thinking of going with JR Futures, I noticed their address is somewhere in Nevada, but from what the local post office said here in LA, its a PO Box in the Nevada desert? Has anyone traded with these guys, I've called a few times and I get voicemail. The address is below, I was...

Yeah...two bigger ones I use are www.elitetrader.de (no clue if its related to this .com one) www.broker-test.de, this is a big whopper of a site too, probably better than the ET one. Good luck, get it automatically translated, sure it wont be perfect, but youll get 90% of it right, with...

Great responses here, I'm still going through the long answers and math. As to the posters who referr to myself as stupid for asking...look at the educated responses that came up here, I'm new to ET and was curious what kind of dialogue we have here...its far better than expected. Realize...

Perhaps we have different levels of schooling, please don't clog this message board with petty responses, this is a serious question. Sure everyone knows what this term means, in marketing/sales terms, but the real answer to the buzzword is what i'm inquiring about. More and more Hedge...
