Those that day trade stocks know what i'm talking about. Daily ranges of stocks continue to contract. More importantly, there is no longer an ebb and flow in the stock. The price just sits there because no trading is going through. Rarely do you ever see short sellers stepping down or...

The Monday rally should have held based on the news. Since it didn't, it would seem that we arn't going to get anymore war rallies. Shorts were scared all weekend as all the news pointed to the war was going incredible. Well, shorts won by end of day. Shorts won't be scared anymore. I...

The story i told is true. I started Worldco in november 2001 with a 3k capital deposit (That was about all the money i had at the time). In 2002 i made over 2 million daytrading. It was my first year daytrading, however i had been playing the market and investing since 1991. I've been a...

Where can i open a prop account where i can do over night option spreads for little money down? There are many prop firms for daytrading. I don't know of any for long term stuff where i can get 10 or 20-1 margin on overnights and long term strategies.

They say it was the biggest down day of the year. Don't mean to always be complaining how bad stock trading is. But jeez, there was barely a trade to be had after 10:30. Stocks seem to have lost all their personality in this environment. Its either mark them up 2-3% or mark them down 2-3%...

Bone, if you need a historic rally to make money in the market than maybe it is you that is the amature. Pro's who are successful long term have great months all the time, without having to be handed a gift of volatility by Mr. mkt. In any event, congrats on a good month.

All the stocks chasing futures. A specialists dream come true. A scalpers dream if you trade it right. If you are a step slow however you are chopped to death. Nice move down in defense today however. That gave me a slightly positive day after commissions.

If you are a great trader, than you will do fine just starting with 25-50k. Assuming you have access to daytrading leverage of 5 or 10 to 1. If you are a great trader within a year your 25k will easily be 300k. A great trader can make 100% on buying power a year. So say you start with 25k...

If you have less than 200k capital, you are likely wasting your time trying to trade full time for a living. And if you have less than 50k completely forget about it. If your passion is to day trade for a living, and you don't have hundreds of thousands, you need to run to a prop firm. That...

Go ahead and play with the 2k. But do not under any circumstances borrow money until you know what you are doing. The rewards of using that 10k borrowed to make 10k do not equal the risk and PAIN! of losing that 10k borrowed. Think about it, if you lose that 10k you borrowed, you will be...

Unleash the volatility soon. I know i'm too afraid to miss a good day of trading. I should take a month off. But i won't.

The specialist stole my money again.

I came to worldco with 3k dollars and a small car filled with personal belongings. Less than 2 years later i have made 2 million dollars. Not to mention they have cut my commission rates multiple times without me having to ask. If only i could find a few more scams like this.

I don't think that anyone is fired. You are just asked to deposit funds if you are negative. I don't think it is unreasonable for the firm to ask loser traders to either pony up, or leave. You can't really expect a firm to keep supporting a loser trader forever. I don't think this is any...

Lately most of the activity in individual stocks is futures arb related. If all you are doing is trying to trade futures through stocks than you will lose money in long run from slippage /commissions and bad fills. Please bring back the days when stocks would move violently on their own...

Ditch won't tell how much he has made from his system. Humor us and at least make a number up.

Friday was one of the most abysmal trading sessions of the year. There is no aggressive buying and selling going on of any stocks. Stocks just don't freaking move! The way i trade it basically costs me $10k a day in slippage and commissions. So when stocks arn't moving i will probably have...

Care to share how much money you have made trading this system day in and day out? I myself am guilty in the past of creating systems that i thought were unbeatable, but then they didn't hold up. Also easy to t pull up a chart and find a system that would have made money for that particular...

Stocks that used to be good for several trades no longer work. Daily ranges have contracted this year as has volume. Stocks that used to have a 1 1/2 point daily range and several 50 cent swings now have 1 point range with most of the day stuck in an untradeable 1/4 point range. Not to...

There is no way to know how a stock/market is going to react to a piece of news. But knowing the news at least gives you a heads up to watch that stock for activity. For example, OMC and DGX both had news today. There was no way to know how they would react to the news. But if you knew...
