Don, did your brother make it to today's final table in the poker tournament? i went to your website, but the link was gone.

lol, yup, i noticed that too. i guess the people with the multi-million $ accounts with the 6 figure days were all e*trade prop from the bubble/Tradescape days. the P&L's this week have been anemic. i should be able to make it some of these days.

naa, it's closed. we've had around 590 traders everyday this year. as of the monday, we've only had 390. they're all retail or subs.

they were recruiting new traders as late as April 11th. http://jobsearch.monster.com/jobsearch.asp?co=xw55548300wx&ah=http%3A%2F%2Fcompany%2Emonster%2Ecom%2Fw55548300w&aj=E%2ATRADE+Professional+Securities%2C+LLC it would suck if they were able to lure anyone in, then pulled the rug out...

personally, i've never had to trade size to make money, nor have i particularly needed a rangy market. but i guess it's like Spydertrader said, we all have different styles in which we've grown accustomed. one style may be optimal for one set of conditions, while a different style may be best...

i've been hedging a little more to take advantage of the market's bi-directionality. once the VIX (for lack of a better word) "shot" up to the 15 to 17 range, i've been able to capture more profit on the occasional short scalps, while waiting for my longs to act. i've also tightened up...

i been reading the same posts, and i just don't get it. these past 3 weeks have been my best in months. i think some traders just get pigeonholed into a certain way of trading and fail to adapt to the changing environment.

Still, a financial snapshot emerges from Schonfeld Securities, the arm that does trading with Schonfeld's capital. Once the main engine of Schonfeld Group, the securities unit is in decline. Its assets shrank from $2.5 billion on Mar. 31, 2000 to $670 million four years later. Over the same...

i know some boards delete articles for copyright reasons, so the mods might KO it.. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Last Man Standing Susan Kitchens and Michael K. Ozanian, 05.23.05 Steven Schonfeld claims to run the biggest and most successful day trading firm left. Is he really any...

do you need to be licensed to trade with Genesis? and at what margin ratio do they start charging haircuts for your overnight swings? thanks!

does Bright have a NJ office?

it's funny. when i was negotiating my deal a year ago, i asked what the desk fee would be. e*trade was like "desk fee? what desk fee?" lol. as retail, they weren't gonna get a piece my action, so at least charge a desk. i used their office, computers, t-1 lines, 2 squawk boxes...

hey, joeyata.. he used to trade out of the E57th office, then started working in management with all the suits. he came over here as a liason between our sub-llc and e*trade when our last manager moved on. we also have a hedge fund here, so i figure all three have been splitting the lease...

yup, my office manager just told me the same thing. he started getting resumes from some E57th st. traders last week. e*trade prop wants out of that location, and their traders are negotiating deals with local subs.

i agree with Don. judging by the basket o' crap they forced goodpunk to trade, it doesn't strike me as a very good deal.. especially if you hafta give them a 50% cut of your profits AFTER churning out a mandatory minimum 50 trades a day worth of commissions for them. is it 50% of the peak...

i've been with e*trade pro for a year. i'm retail, but we do have a prop division.

it's this line right here that tells the story.. 32 fills, 96,702 shares equals 3,000+ share lots. i don't understand why, after all this time, and everything you've been through, you're still trading this big. you're leaving yourself very little margin for error. you practically have to nail...

if you keep trading the way you are, nothing's gonna change, and you're gonna leave the business unfulfilled. i saw it coming ever since i started posting in your thread in january. the only difference is now you'll be losing your own money, PLUS churning out those commissions for your broker...

you were right about ESLR, but just a day late. it hit $7.33 this morning. that woulda been about a $5,000 profit on your gamble.

it's funny.. i thought that Street.Com dis was gonna bury us for good, but ole' reliable alti found a way to fight through the bad press.
