I am looking for more specifics. What you said was pretty general. I know you trade more of the trend so revealing info should not really effect your trading. What makes you decide when to buy the stocks that are up on the day? I am sure you are not arbitrary seeing the stock up so go in and...

I have read a lot of posts on here, weeded thru a lot of junk, and have picked up some info too. I wanted to see if I could inspire some of the experienced successful posters to contribute to this thread to give insight onto their trading strategies. I know some people like RS7 and a few other...

It sounds like the line is becoming more blurry between retail and prop (really kind of a fake prop). One thing is that a lot of time the sub-LLC do not lock your money up making it so you can not withdraw funds for several months if you want to leave. I think the LLC whether company wide or...

I have friends who trade with protrader and they have problems with connectivity. It has not been very good for them for scalping, but it has good order routing and options for those that position trade and trade multiple positions. Their biggest complaint is that the connectivity is...

I actually saw the post but must have caught the last minutes before you pulled it. When I came back 15 minutes later it was gone. I thought it was a really insightful post and wondered why it was gone. Soon after the Super Ego rampage started. If you keep making posts like that I think it...

The fact that there is a lot of program trading is what is throwing me off. I know last week several stocks that were top 20 in volume on NYSE were not necessarily following the S&P. I have seen it in HD, WMT, and TXN just to name a few. This could be a good trend move that lasted 30 min to...

My last topic has had great responses so I thought I would try again. Like I said before I have mostly traded Nasdaq stocks in the past and have recently switched to trading NYSE stocks. Someone else mentioned in another thread (which I also find true) that in a lot of cases NYSE stocks do not...

That is a good point. That has been hard at first to get use to. I start getting the feeling that "hey it is not going right away, maybe there is a big seller now". I end up talking myself out of staying in the trade because it is so slow. So I am trying to figure out when I am being...

I used to scalp Nasdaq stocks trading for 10 cents. I think those days are kind of over. I tried to look for moves and stocks that had potential moves of like 20-30 cents but found it hard to trade because they are so choppy now. Thought I would check out NYSE because I have been told by...

What is it about BAC that you like besides moving around a lot? It looks like it has some good moves on a chart. Thanks for your reply

Do these stocks you watch follow the futures or are you just watching for size to come in and push the stocks? Are you trading the same few stocks everyday or jumping around alot. I think I got the idea of trading the big cap liquid stocks from seeing posts by Don Bright because of the safety...

Why do you recommend the lower and mid-volume stocks? My only concern is being able to get out when I am wrong. I have been trying to scalp the big-cap stocks so far. Thanks for your input.

As claification I want to look at the same 3 or 4 stocks. I don't want to really jump around everyday to something new. It would help if they trade with the futures since I am use to trading like that with nasdaq stocks. Thanks for the replies so far.

I am fairly new to trading NYSE after switching over from Nasdaq. I am looking for good recommendations for stocks to trade that are liquid while I learn execution skills and how to read and trade the NYSE stocks. THey trade a lot different than nasdaq for short term trading. I have...

I know a person trading for them their prop group. As far as I know the only offices doing prop are NY and Stamford, Conn. They only trade naz stocks, but some of their traders still do really well to incredibly well. They have a few payout plans but the basic one is paid off gross and...

I have heard thru friends that Omar has been going around trying to buy volume for tradescape thru various different deals. Supposedly a big portion of his pay was based on future volume, so he was going to pay for the volume so he could hit his higher paying break points.

So does that mean there is not more LSPD?

I appreciate the PM messages that I recieved. I am actually surprised that there are not more traders in LA out there in Elitetrader land that are experienced and willing to share. Anyway I wanted to put this at the top of the list one last time.

I am trying to find experienced, successful traders or a small group of traders in the LA/Orange County area that have adapted well to the new trading environment. I am looking for traders that do extremely well. I am an experienced trader who is having problems adapting to the current...
