Yeah, BOSX has a 'pay for removal' setup as well, the problem there is the book often is empty. If I'm trading something thick, like BAC, and watching order flow at a given price level, and I just want to get filled at the bid/offer, I'll use BOSX since someone who's crossing the spread to...

Thank you for your input. :) yeah, right now that's how I'm operating... adding on expensive ECNs, and taking from cheap ones... Like anyone who trades as a career, I'm always looking for the 'little' things that can contribute to my income over the long haul. If anyone else has ideas...

Anyone?

Random thought about ECNs and credits... At the risk of sounding noobish, I will ask something that's been rattling around in my mind for the last few days: Anyone know of an execution strategy where a credit earning limit order is hit in the event of a stop out on your main position...

So much for my dreams of living in Germany and trading there... :/ Well, maybe I can still do it with an offshore account. But regardless, this is silly.

I'd love to see a breakdown of what each of you trade to make your P/L for the day... like a P/L per security.

$1 Million.. I'd then live off the investment and spend the rest of my days volunteering my time teaching financial literacy to underprivileged and low income school kids. This has been my dream for the last 6 years.

awesome you guys post your P/L's.. but is there any chance we could see some P/L's by instrument?

I'd like to know more about this as well... From what I understand (and how I've been filing so far...) You can submit the yearly net profit (loss) on your trading as capital gains returns. HOWEVER, if the CRA decides that trading is a business activity for you (ie, your primary source of...

I've been with ToS for over two years and it sounds like you weren't aware of the data feed settings within the cleint: They've always had proper real time data for as long as I've been a client, it just wasn't on by default and instead set to max 3 second delay.

Private jet? Talk about execution costs. lol

AHAHA... I just did some digging around.. and sure enough it's Mastro's setup. Small world. My friend helped assemble his systems..

Wait a tic... this looks exactly like the setup I just posted... Where'd you find this pic? I think it's the same computer... (same wall, same setup, same chair even)

Here's some inspiration.. Buddy was hired to help assemble this trading station a few years back... if you look closely, there's 4 monitors embedded in the desk that point up at you through a glass surface. Edit: Oh, that's also all running off a single computer. This is one of 9x Media's...

Fellow Canadian here, Fore forex, Quest is just a white label of forex.com.... it's pretty bad... If you want to hold an account in CAD, look at Oanda, they are based in Toronto and offer accounts in quite a few currencies. To be honest though, you sound like you'd benefit from using...

The only time you should be interested in training courses is when they mentor you.. not teach you a "proven" system. They gotta sell the craft, not the dream. That being said, I haven't found anyone worth paying to learn from as of yet..

The answer you seek is right there... ETFC doesn't have access to shares they can borrow, but IB does... Not every broker has a wide inventory of shares.. sometimes you gotta call in and reserve some, or have them check around to see if borrowing can be done.

ability to repay... and that they print money like it's nothing to devalue the Yen on purpose (edit, look at the history of the BoJ.) Italy doesn't have the same options.

Change the thread title, this is misleading.
