    "take the money and run" type market

    trader_david, i trade with a prop but our styles are extremely similar. especially how you describe the open. as for Steve,I bet anyone here that he made 230k last year with only 5k in his account. a good trader can get at least 100k in bp with only 5k and make that kind of money.i have seen it...

    Marc Cuban on Day Trading

    marc cuban is arrogant and sometimes engages in subjects he knows nothing about. daytrading for example. as for wealth,its subjective. as long as my family and i are healthy,i pay the bills and save some money while going on one trip a year.

    "take the money and run" type market

    Steve, believe me i appreciate your response and you make great points which i take to heart. its just that the past couple of weeks have been very good for me by walking away after a good trade or two. that said,you make plenty of sense and perhaps i could improve my skills by upping the ante...

    "take the money and run" type market

    Steve makes some valid points. however,my opinion is based on the current market conditions. of course yesterday was an anomoly but consistency is key to a traders success so making 400-600 perday in this environment with low levels of stress is a good thing. i can actually do more but this...

    "take the money and run" type market

    this market,in my opinion requires traders to walk away after a decent profit. i am up 410 for the day on shorting SIGM for a quick scalp. we were lucky yesterday but this current market will decimate those that over trade. prop firms may not like the smaller commissions but paying the bills is...
