If your a successful trader then you love the prop business. If you failed than you have to blame their prop model for your failure. Hate the player (failed trader) and not the game (prop firm). Trading is a career. Prop firms are designed for active traders and retail is not. Enough of this...

Those are the haters.....

Again. Options are 40% of the test so know them in and out. If you nail those then you have room for error else where. All the other questions can be tricky with theyre double answers and such. Options are straight forward. One or Two practice exams is enough. Those will show what you dont know...

No ones an idiot. Options have the highest price ATM because they have the highest probability of being exercised. Thus they have the highest intrinsic value. Options OTM have no intrinsic value and only extrinsic value(Time decay, etc.).

Agree with post above. Also focus on theta and veta. I think those are more important. You get a spike or drop in volatility and your delta means shit. And dont get eaten by time value my friend. Closer to ATM options lose time value the slowest.

Your gonna have to scour the black market for that. There are a ton of russian sites that sell that sort of thing on the low. All the top programs, systems, etc open code.

I completely disagree. If you are successful then definitely put your prop firm on your resume. So much goes into being a successful trader that can transfer to numerous positions in the financial industry. Technology, discipline, ROI, strategy developement, Risk management, etc etc.... Be smart...

Optical signals travel about 2/3 the speed of light through fiber and then have to be converted into electrical signals. Electric signals travel faster through copper and dont require the end conversion. Copper is faster but Fiber can handle substantially more bandwidth.

Bandwidth is only half the equation. More importantly is latentcy(ping). T1 has a much lower latency than cable/fios. Bandwidth is just how much data can be sent. Latency is the speed of data sent. When you are trading you are sending/receiving small packets of data, so bandwidth is not...

Anyone know what preferreds BAC is looking to buy back? Have they released a conversion matrix yet like Citigroup did a cpl years back? It looks like its the BML series of preferreds by market action....

Is takion just the anvil platform....?

Ya Im sure its less. $150 - 200mill probably based on conference call....

Best thread yet.....

Read an article from feb saying Kodak was shopping it for $300 - $400 million..... http://image-sensors-world.blogspot.com/2011/02/kodak-to-sell-cmos-sensor-business.html Any body have any research on what the unit is worth?

There are only 1 - 3 golden setups a day and some days none at all. The commission structure isnt the issue. Your overtrading. Be more selective in your trades. As you learn what setups represent better opportunities you can then bet more accordingly.

Ah I see myself ten years ago...so naive in how the market works... You sound smart. So now add 10000 hrs of face time with the markets and just might make it.
