What are the pros and cons of trading the Q's vs NQ/other? From a technical/execution/whatever viewpoint. Thanks.

Ok, it's not that bad.

I thought she got tweaked for not trusting herself to do the right thing and ask the dude for his digits. It's really the only reason she axed her sister. Sound farmiliar ? Like that perfect trade setup you failed to act upon so instead you get tweaked and blow yourself up? Oh, No...

Some of the best trading headway for me has come out of the discussions and analysis of my trade history with another like minded trader. I can just imagine what kind of progress can be gained talking with a head trader that has years and years of experience. I believe the learning curve will...

What firm are you with ? And I was wondering what the motivation is for your firm to invest in you this much. Maybe it is totally their risk capital ?, maybe you pay for the attention ?, maybe payout is their incentive ? Thanks

I bare witness to the person that started this thread. In hindsight, you really nailed the beginning of "it"....be it a trading range...but crying Bull so soon??.......wouldn't have wanted to be long a host of high profile symbols....indices and the likes, yes.

jpomerenke....are you remote or in house ? What can you tell us about GTT ??

Employee..?....or Customer?? What can a prop firms incentive really be in spending any significant amount of time with trader development? I LOVE the idea of learning from others experiences but it seems like everyone is there to trade, not teach(unless of course they can charge ya for it)...

"OK, we're done vinny I'm done feeding the troll. We're done now- don't expect me to talk to you. Maybe you can make friends with one of the other kids on your short bus." I'll 2nd that Amen

I can't find a good Market Making, or Level 2, or Tape Reading book out there. Something with details, specific examples. I have great results when I can identify and Shadow the Ax.

Any other thoughts out there ?

Thanks all for the replys thus far...it's nice to discuss with others who know. I figured that I am getting it pretty good with the cents/sh & ticket charges on every trade. Just dropping the ticket charges would be lovely but I guess grossing about $2800 on 200K shares is just not enough for...

The key is just how risky a trader are you. If, as a trader, you are really not "risky" because you are consistently successful at managing risk (Net positive month after month), then I would imagine that the "hegde from commissions" that a broker uses against his capital at risk does not need...

200 sh/mo $6,000 Gross $1600 Net $4400 in costs and payout Shouldn't I get more of the proceeds than this ????? It's the @&%@ ticket charges that are killing me. I am beginning to think that my broker is on his side of the business because his greed was too much to handle as a...

Example: 6k gross

It sucks to know that you would be 2K-3K more profitable if it wasn't for those @%&*@ ticket charges. I do about 200K sh/month and pay about $4000 for it. For someone not doing any real size I feel I do very well, about $6000G/mo and deserve more of the proceeds. Tell me, is my broker being...

I have a a Nividia 3D Frorce4-MX440 video card using 2 monitors off the 1 video card. How can I get RediPlus or any other program for that matter to load to it's respective spot on either screen? It only loads to one screen and I gotta move everything over. Well, I do have one program that...

...if at first you don't succeed, try again just keep it real

Any day trader that has an exponentially increasing equity curve is an artist in my book. Watching how someone gets fills can have a pretty "artsy" feel. Can, in fact, need to be well in touch with your emotions and at the same time keep an even keel. I suspect all sucessful traders keep a...

Can someone please help a brother out and reply with your thoughts on this subject. Part of the reason why day trading can take more time to learn than other "jobs" is because there is simply noone to share ideas with.....hate to learn things the hard way all the time.
