I think you are asking a bit too much. Ivy League pedigrees and high GPAs are a form of risk management in lieu of capital contributions. Thats why you have firms like First New York Securities, Goldman's and Merrill's etc. If you are not willing to put in the time to qualify under their...

By any chance...was the reading comprehension test at GS written by you?... I guess thats why I didnt pass it :) though they did tell me that I could trade for them if I agree to wear the "Tommy Hillfiger" Shirt and take a paycut. Now if YOU WERE READING then you would of noticed that the...

ABC firm and XYZ firm have identical parameters in terms of training, management, leverage, commissions, you name it-- whatever, ect ... Society has apparently chosen ABC as the "Home Coming Queen" of trading or shall we say the "Ivy league" Institution of trading for all those who seem more...

Like I said and will say again...Don is a gentleman. Everyone is fully aware that he is a salesman... therefore you are stating the obvious. What? salesman cant be cordial and informative? Even a used car salesman can be a decent human being. Whats wrong with sales anyway? Most of the world...

Why are so many of you guys so hard on Don? The man is extremely knowledgable and helpful on this forum and without Don... there would be many questions from newbies that would go unanswered and they would be wandering around like lost souls. Yes there are others that can answer these...

If it were, then... Everybody and their mother would be doing it. Welcome to "trading" bro. :)

Merrill, Goldman, Jeffreys, Morgan, etc. is more for traders who want be carried on the firms back, hand holding and spoon feeding while they go through the inevitable losses and trial and error process... ... Only to have to give a huge chunk of their profits to the firm once they finally...

No I dont believe in automation besides that would be too massive of a task to automate it. Traders intuition plays the major role here which is based on an overall understanding of the whole system and an accurate interpretation. Though I simply use back propagation artificial intelligence...

Yes... and it would literally take me weeks or even months to explain because it has some pretty radical ideas. You won't find anthing that even resembles it in any book but it does borrow concepts and ideas from various mathematical schools of thought. After all, it did take me years to...

Let me tell you what I did to enter this field. I took a night job driving a bread route for a bakery so that I could study, trade and fine tune a day-trading strategy. Once I was totally convinced that I had a successful strategy... (a few years of fine tuning) I took the Series 7 test to...

The advantages of having a system that no one can understand but you is that it has an automatic and natural security feature because who-ever gets it would have to first try and decipher it before they could ever use it.

Ego about one's own intelligence is likely detrimental to it's own advancement. The poll in my opinion is therefore paradoxical in nature. Having said that; I prefer to think I'm dumb all the time...at least that way I dont let my ego get in the way of expanding my mind or I can at least...

Hi Guys, It seems to me that the firms that don't require the Series 7 "AND" are registered with an Exchange require way too much capital for the average person to cough up... If any one knows of a reputable firm thats registered with the CBOE, (the only Exchange I know of that does not...

Good call cubsguy81... I was thinking the same exact thing. My only guess here is that some people don't just want the money or the success of being a consistent and very profitable trader...they also want the prestige, pride, and/or hype (or whatever you want to call it) that comes from being...

I know that Echo is Philly registered but I dont know anything about grandfathering the 7
