what the hell are you talking about?

It gives you "a high probability of tradeable movement"...but doesn't give you a signal which way. So what do you do, flip a coin for long or short? My system tells me that if an economic number is coming out at 10:00 am...the probability of a volume influx with tradeable movement is...

This thread is hysterical...keep up the great work and please keep posting the significant times that I should be entering my trades. I never thought it could be so easy. P.S.- My research indicates a strong possibility of decreased volume after 4:00 pm. Look for a good trade.

I heard that they accidentally mistyped the title...it was supposed to be DOW 6,000. That guy is a genius.:D

"People on this thread forget that theSE guys don't owe their trader shit." In this business, it's the traders who have all the leverage, not the owners. Without you, they have no firm...but we have numerous other options. Obviously, this isn't charity. Someone is going to make money...

You can't rent a closet for $5,000 a month anywhere near N.Y.

Nice post....welcome to the site....now take your bullshit somewhere else.

The deal closed on Friday.

Do not sign any contract that won't allow you to leave without penalties. The days of "indentured servitude" are gone. If you get a better deal somewhere else, make sure you can get up and leave whenever you want. Also, a 60% payout with full commissions is not a good deal. Go back and...

The whole point of negotiating as a group (or for a group) is to have more bargaining power because of your volume. If your whole group gets lower commissions (say .0045) and someone is making a cut (.00025)...in the long run you're still better off than if you had gone by yourself----regardless...

I completely understand your point. However, it is common practice for one guy to cut a deal at a firm where he gets overrides for the whole group he brings in. For example, if he gets 10 guys then their commission will be "X", if he brings 15 guys then their commission will be "Y" etc. The...

Do you actually trade, or do you just stand there and cheerlead for Gertsman? Your posts sound like you have a crush on him.

"I don't think they'd hesitate to screw a trader out of 100k if they had to." How can a firm "screw" a trader out of 100k?

I think he was being facetious.:D

Bloomberg is far and away the best news service....probably why it's also the most expensive. TGREGG....I also have briefing. They don't have any economic #'s before any other news service. You can subscribe to receive a couple of the major #'s before they hit the news wires...but other...

is a creepy stalker. Anyone with that much free time to obsess about some girl who obviously didn't want to be with him should seek professional help. JMO Volume

"I'm sure hammer is great for nasdaq but i doubt it would benefit me for the way i trade. with sterling i can have the software automatically adjust my size and price...one click of the mouse is a ton faster than fumbling around with a keyboard. and i wouldn't want to risk my deposit with a...

Over the last few years, commissions have been drastically reduced by every firm. I think they are at a point now where the real reason to choose a firm isn't for an extra .001, but rather for great software and other necessities (news services, health care benefits, trading environment,etc)...

Very interesting thread you started...nice posts.
