Our building's network went down today so I barely traded. I lost $19 and spent $5 losing it. I had 5 buy executions, 5 sell executions, and 5,200 shares traded. Have a good weekend!

Thanks for the info! Working off the books is exactly what I need.

Good morning everyone! I feel pretty good today. It's a new quarter, a new month, and a new day! The best part, NEW COMMISSIONS!!! I have a busy weekend ahead of me. I'll be starting my new part time job on saturday morning as a server in a cafe in Jersey City. Then on Saturday night...

Well, currently we're charged per execution. The firm cut that execution price in half. I don't really want to say what I'll be paying, but if look at my number of executions you can sort of figure a rough number of what I'm paying. As of tomorrow I'll be paying half of that amount.

Pretty much. Think of it as an oscillator. Zero dollars is basically the zero line. If I'm down $1200 then I have to travel all the way to the zero line to be flat. Anything above that line and it's mine. But you're right, I won't be getting a check for March. Hopefully april will be a...

You'd be surprised. I don't trade anywhere near as much volume compared to what some people trade. On average I trade about 100k-200k shares a day. There are others who trade 500k-800k a day.

Well a shitty day..... It seems as though I can't have a winning day..... I lost $117 and spent about $75 losing it. That puts me down for a loss of $1200 for the month. I guess it could have been worse. I had 16 buy executions, 12 sell executions, and 48,800 shares traded...

Hey guys! Well, I feel good, I'm well rested and I'm excited to see ELN down almost $4. I've traded ELN plenty of times before and I'm hoping to see some good action in it today. In the meantime I'll be concentrating on ORCL, NT, ELN, and HPQ. Well, I have a meeting this morning, so I'm...

The bigger size I trade the more comfortable I feel. I can get long 18,000 shares of NT or LU and be alright. I can trade a lot of size because management feels that I can handle it. Which I can. Unfortunately, I'm in a big slump right now. The stocks that I normally traded just aren't in...

Thanks!!!

Had it handed to me..... I lost $75 and spent $70 making it. Total crap...... I had 12 buy executions, 13 sell executions, and 86,600 shares traded.

Good morning! Well, I'll be getting my feet wet in some INTC today. For starters I'll be going in with 500 shares a pop to start off so I won't lose my ass if I make a bad decision. Does anybody else trade INTC, ORCL, CSCO, or MSFT? Any pointers? Good Trading!

Yes, each fill is considered an execution. As far as trades (in and out) go, it really depends. On slow days like today I might be in -10-15 different positions (that number is completely off the top of my head).

What a crappy day to trade..... I made $178 and spent about $160 making it. Geez....... I had 24 buy executions, 35 sell executions, and 90,600 shares traded. Tomorrow will be a better day!

Well boys and girls, I can trade more stocks. CSCO, INTC, MSFT, ORCL, and SUNW, have been added to my basket! YAY! This is great! Rebates on all ecn's! And on the 1st of April our commissions are being cut in half!!!! That's right! Cut by 50%!!!! Good times, good times! Good...

WHAT A CRAPPY DAY!!! I just had a slow day right from the get go. I made $112 and spent $120 making it. Whatever..... I had 22 buy fills, 24 sell fills, and 142,460 shares traded. Tomorrow will be a better day!

ECN fees are cheap. So it's raining today. That sux. Today is one of those days I wish I had my own account with my own money. I didn't want to come out into the cold and pouring rain. I wish I could have stayed home and traded from there. So here's the agenda for today. I'm going to...

Well, I got my hands on a sony psp today. A very sexy device. I made $90 and spent about $50 making it. Whatever.... I had 8 buy executions, 5 sell executions, and 99,930 shares traded. Have a good weekend!

Well, as far the business model goes, basically it's just like a team. A successful group can negotiate better commissions, higher payouts, and better leverage. Don't get me wrong, the trader is NOT paying me at all. The firm pays me a percentage of the traders net.

There's no price limit on the stocks that we can trade. Yes, partial fills are executions. So if I bid for 2000 and it takes 3 fills then that's three executions.
