after hours you should mark your trades as "sell", not as "short". If you mark it short the ECN will adjust the price to a penny above the last (NYS) print. I think the same applies for premarket.

Hey, thanks for the info. can you tell me anything about his trading style? How long does he hold positions? What is his typical share size? does he trade pairs/long/short? sectors? etc? Also, do you know anything about thier commission structure (how much they charge you)? do they trade...

I know trading is a highly individual activity, so please keep that in mind when answering this question. In terms of $$$$$$ what do you consider to be a good day (or for that matter a bad day)? Or what do you usually make/lose on a good or bad day? Thanks

does anyone know anything about the prop trading department at millenium brokerage? i plan to meed the head trader there next week and would love any backround info available (i.e commissions, payout, salary, etc.) Thanks

When do you actually have time to trade? It seems like you spend all day on ET.

Actually, I think he was talking about some of the guys in NYC and I think you are in NJ. But nice try anyway. Good luck with trading, how have your results been anyway? Next time I am in the NJ office, maybe I'll come find you and say hello.

seriously, loosing all you have the the market is an awful feeling! I think we'd both happier if you just sent the $$$$$ to me. Please, do yourself a favor and stay out of the market!

Actually I was at Hold Brothers just the other day, in both NY and NJ, and I was actually pretty impressed with what I saw. I am not framiliar with thier numers and revenue and all that jazz, but the operation was more legit than I expected. I don't know if they have any good traders, but I...

Does any one know anything about Ontrade or Hold Brothers? Any help would be great. I searched on Hold Brothers and there seemed to be a lot of negative feedback (but none of it was too recent) and I can't find much on OnTrade. If there are any traders out ther with either Hold or Ontrade...

my experience is that if you have the $$$$ to fund your own account then you are golden (with or without a degree). To trade firm capital, you may have to prove that you are at least somewhat with it, but a degree is not always needed. One of the guys I trade with now never even finished high...

I seem to hear a lot of people talk about "good traders" or how a firm had "Great trader". What is a good/great trader. Does it have to do with makin $$$$, or having a good risk reward ratio when you trade, or is it just doing the extra little things like keeping a detailed trading log/plan...

Thank you for your answer. As with most things it seem like more trouble than it is worth.

Would you mind telling me how you set up your notebook? I've been trading for 6 months and I too keep a notebook, but I have a feeling I could keep one that is more detailed. Thanks, Fatman

Good God! My rent alone is $1000. What part of the country do you live in? Or do you still live at home with mom, like many of the traders I know?

I am sure it is too late. I'm just trying to figure out what I should do next time I have a problem. And please don't assume my firm has someone else to deal with it. All of the suport guys are super over worked. In general if I need something done right I have to do it myself, including...

Actually, I am a prop trader with a direct access firm, any other suggestions?

Please forgive me as I am kind of a newbie, but how would one go about requesting a price correction from the specialist and what are the rules (i.e. time limits, share size, etc.)? Thanks, Fatman
