I've been finding that many good traders make good poker players in my limited experience. However, I have yet to find a good poker player that turned into a good trader.

You LEANT your copy to someone?!!! Oh, the sacrelege! I've lost/lendt out more than half a dozen copies of this book over the years. Finally learned to stop doing that. I actaully bought a leather bound, limited edition gold leaf page copy a few years ago and put it up there on the shelf...

I too read it when I was just starting out. I guarantee you'll get a lot more out of it now that you've been trading for a while. Check it out again!

They also have an office in Spain, it looks like from their web site.

No need to read or buy the book anymore, is there? :-)

Do you want to live there and trade or trade an European Prop Firms account in North America remotely?

I don't know of a way to use Protrader in training/demo mode. I hear though that at their head office their own new traders are put on demo mode. Does this mean that they have two versions of software - one for the retail client and one for internal use?

I use the Refco Protrader platform for my futures emini trades. Their system is relatively quick and up 99% of the time. The only downside from my experience is that when Protrader goes down and you call in to get out of a trade you find that their system is also down (since you are both...

Yes, I've heard the same complaints from others. I'm not saying that you HAVE to trade with Swift, just that there are opportunities for people living in Asia (I have many friends in Hong Kong and Taiwan for example who trade North American markets through people like Swift and others). Search...

No, I meant contact some North American firms who operate internationally over the internet. You may be able to find a firm who lets you trade from Singapore. This is not limit you to finding a company in your home country only.

The dozen or so hard core scalpers with whom I chat with online every day all got burned pretty bad. Most of them were long @ 102 and got out at 98 or 99 area.

I also believe that hte DOW is destined to stay in the 9000-11000 range for years. What could possibly propel it higher?

Anyone daytrade GOOG yesterday?

There are no license requirements that I know of. You have to take a training course which they provide and if you make a certain amount of net profits for them within a specific period of time you get paid. I would check out their web site www.swifttrade.com and get their phone number or...

I know there is a branch of Swift Trade which is a Canadian Prop Trading firm (I used to work there) opening up soon or is already opened up. I would think that's a good place to find a lot of independent traders who might want to hook up with each other to discuss trading North...

I can't remember the name of the firm but they started the company and wrote one of the original day trading books. Are they still around?

Are they still around?

If Martha can go to prison, Mr. Lay obviously will - since they need to make that example again.

I've been a full time day trader at numerous firms since 1997. The obvious choice for me would be the timeless classic "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Edwin Lefevre (ISBN 0471059706) I also just finished reading a fantastic book for MBA's regarding the markets called: "Fooled by...
