    Redi Plus

    If Redi is so great, why would ETG be willing to leave it for Instinet? Seems to me that REDI+s initial advantages have been caught up to and overtaken. They do not have a system that is truly all in. REDI charts are inferior and cannot be used by 90% of traders.

    Negative People in a trading office

    I knew of the other two through friends of friends sort of thing. The risk of the "bail job" by one is mitigated by the fact that the office itself is being leased two us with 60 days notice to get out. I don't hink advertising is the right way to do it because you can end up with some real...

    Andover Trading

    A bullet is NOT an artificial long. It is a synthetic call. But that lesson is for another thread, another day. If you weren't truly long, then you could not sell stock legally on a down tick.

    New trading platforms and trading venues

    SSF's will never be a viable product because the powers that be (they) will find a way through either margins, tax treatment, etc to make them not so attractive so that Grasso and the NYSE never lose much business. Remember, after Goldman Sachs bought SLK, they are one of the largest Specialist...

    Negative People in a trading office

    It works really well for me. These two gentleman are really good guys. We do NOT socialize after the market nor are we in the same social circles. So, during the day we talk trading macro ideas. They trade differently than me. We share the cost of the office. I don't have the discipline to...

    Negative People in a trading office

    After being in an office for 4 years, i left to go to a small two man office, essentially remote but with two trader friends. We all did our own thing occassionally sharing ideas but nothing formal. I like it better than an office where everyone is trying to prove what they know by screaming...

    Nyse Direct

    st0ckdude, you work at andover? Did you work at Worldco? Aren't all prop traders at any firm ultimately trading the firm's account thus subjecting them to the same combined factor?

    the trend is up, market has bottomed.

    Would you rather short a new high or a new low? The trend is down. In a down trend, i sell rallies and buy back on the weakness. In an up trend I buy weakness and sell into the strength. This is a down trend. If you wish to rationalize what will happen, go for it. I only look at what...

    Do not panic. Women and longs first. Stay short. Too many looking for bottom. Sell the rallies. Don't go home ove the weekend long. Risk reward of it is terrible. Mid east could blow at any minute, terrorism on US soil "not if but when" etc...

    Base Salary + Payout

    MM's have an "obligation" to trade, Props have a right but no obligation. That is all in THEORY. Usually MMs get salary plus lower percentage payout while props get high payout no salary.
