I've heard good things about Evolution in San Diego but I haven't been able to find any other firms out there. Echo, Bright and others all seemed to have closed up shop down there. Is Evolution the only game in town down in San Diego?

Can you explain this a little more? I've talked to 3 prop firms lately, 2 are on the west coast. Of those 2 on the west coast, only 1 required a S7 but they both offered 10:1 leverage. Isn't there something to do with how they are set up and how you are associated with them that determins if...

I've been reading some books lately and I was just thinking that no one has really written a book that is kind of like mixing a book with a simulator. You could have a chapter on some method you are trying to teach and then you would have a CD where it would simulate a stock trading. You could...

Well i'll give you my story. Their intro rate is $12.95 per ticket plus ECN and software fee's. I responded to an email they sent me and I started with a discounted ticket charge $9.95 per ticket plus ecn and software. I was thinking, well if I want to trade, i have to pay this high rate...

Don, have you upped your position sizes lately or are just catching bigger moves? Seems like your up almost 2 or 3 times your normal wins using OO.

It depends on the broker. I had one broker that used your end of day account size from the previous day to calculate BP for that day. So for your example, if you lost $10k that day, you will still have $100k BP untill the end of that day. I had another broker that used intraday BP...

I traded with them for about 5 months, and their commissions were eating me alive. I had a reduced commission setup also, but I still couldn't trade small size with it. A 100 lot round trip will cost around $21. I wrote a small review of them here...

It's just that it seems that some people can't even find 1 successfully edge to trade, let alone find one again and again when that edge fades. Like, when the NYSE changes to the hybrid system, will tape reading be gone as we know it? Maybe it's just from reading ET, but all you hear is...

This is a concern of mine, that if i go full time, I could get stuck with out a chair when the music stops.

1. I've never traded forex so what is the interest that you list and how can it be negative some times? 2. What are your holding times like? 3. If you have a full time job, are you trading during the evenings or do you hold positions for a couple days?

I've noticed in past posts and with talking with some traders here that there seems to be alot of Engineers trading. I thought about this and I came up with this. 1. Engineers work with math and numbers to build products but can also use the same skills to apply them to the market. 2...

I'm 26 and live on Long Island. Been trading part time for a little over a year now. Looking to join a prop firm early next year and start trading full time.

I was looking to park some of my trading money in something while I take a break from trading due to a job situatoin. Now, I'm looking for things that have very low risk. Right now, my savings account offers 4% and the highest interst rate I can find right now is %6.73 from a government ibond...

Ever consider a Wrangler? I just got one about a year ago and they are fun to drive. In the summer time, nothing beats driving around with no top and no doors. They can 4 wheel like no other truck i have ever ridden in, super manuverable. There is a HUGE aftermarket for them if you are into...

I was watching Nortel today and it had a solid day, but there was one print that went off at 3.20 even though the stock never got near there(3.08 "real" HOD). Now on an intraday chart, you can see that one print being out of whack but if you are looking at a daily chart, you wouldn't see it...

Do you guys have to pay for your health insurance out of your winnings? And is there and equivalent of a 401k for a trader, like being able to contribute pre-tax earnings?

I was looking into a firm that had profit splitting for different amounts of money you put up. I forgot to ask but I was wondering if you pay commissions before or after the profit split? For example if i had a %50 payout and I made $100 that day and had $20 in commissions, would my payout be...

Any one read this? There have been a couple of discussions about tape reading and was wondering what people think of this book?

This is going to make some people laugh but it crossed my mind. My current job is going to be outsource and instead of being down about it, i'm trying to turn it into a positive. I've been looking to make the jump to full time trading and this might be the opportunity for it. I've been told...
