I agree. I do not think your past "prison" record will follow you like a credit report does. Say bye to Chuck and work with a firm that is more trader friendly.

I read an article in SFO where the author advocated using 3/20/65 SMA's in the FX markets. Problem with using the 65's as confirmation was the wide swings inherent with the longest MA. While not perfect I have been using 10/20 with hourly charts. Goodfellow, thanks for your input. Sometimes...

Is it what I think it is? :D

I dont get it. If you have multiples of $25k in your account, why do they care if you are PDT as long as you meet the $25k minimum?

Just bought three of these at $199 all in. Works well. Not fancy, but does what I need. http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202593724&loc=101&sp=1

FYI - Signed up for the TOS seminar in Orlando on 7/11. Will hopefully meet some of you there.

How long do u usually hold positions? How many pips do u use as a stop loss?

Hello Blure, My hat's off to you. I don't so many credit spreads (mostly long calendars) but the RUT spreads I've done have been a challenge. This index does not correlate with the SPX (maybe that's a good thing), and I've had a hard time gaming it. Interested in your future posts.

EUR/USD - But still Demo. Having more success w/60 minute vs 5 minute. Wondering which is better - Working with an FX broker such as FXDD and trading pairs or going to the CME and trading the $ or Euro direct. Still reading and learning.

Sounds good. Into a FX demo now. Let's keep the thread alive.

Hypo - I like you already. But you can find Gloria for $13 at a good sale...:D But Gloria is best drank on the veranda overlooking the vineyard. It's always our first stop in Napa.

Very good, thx. I attended one already but wouldn't hurt to do it again. I've found that each class is different since they really don't follow the outline...:D At least this time it's at the airport. Last one I went to was in Celebration, alot further away near Disney.

I wasn't aware of one on the 11th. Would appreciate it if you could send me a link.

Just curious, since I don't have the time during the day to actively trade like you do, what kind of spreads do you have to deal with when you trade ES? I realize the commish is only a handful of $'s, but are the spreads on ES much of an issue as far as your profitability? FYI - I trade...

Will keep you informed. No response yet but that is typical, unfortunately. Next time someone has a meeting/conference/seminar in the Orlando area I will ask if it is possible to start a mailing list of interested traders who would like to meet on occasion and talk "shop." Still with OX...

Have tried a few times without much success unfortunately. Not many traders responded. Central Florida isn't quite the trading center that Chicago or NYC is. I don't think there are even any daytrading outfits left in town anymore. Trade mostly option spreads due to my work schedule but would...

Looks kinda expensive though if you have a securities license.

Nice... If you build it; they will buy. :)

Geez - I didn't realize the ARM's could adjust the payment more than one time per year. According to the article payments are increasing as much as 50% in a short term. Scary. Glad I locked in at 30yrs in '04.

I once saw two sets of feet dangling in the same stall. Not too sure what was on the menu in there.:eek:
