the only time i ever use a market order is when i have to get out in a hurry, thankfully it's not that often, if the stocks not moving away from you in a hurry just place a sell at the bid and you should be ok, unless there's a huge spread. other than that, take a look at your charts what are...

how much money do you have to start? have you looked into a prop firm? You can look at the broker ratings and see a few listed there.

he had asked about the good scalpers, the good ones obviously have a lot of capital, low commissions and a great method, or they wouldn't be that good.

the good ones will easily make 500k a year, but like AnonymousTrader said you will need a good system, very low commissions and trade a few thousand shares a trade, i know a trader who made a little over 1mil last year and is on pace to do it again this year, but people like him are few and far.

do you put up a portion of the capital that you trade with? i wouldn't think a firm would let you trade remote and provide the capital.

if you are new First New York Securities is probably your best bet, i heard Schonfeld is usually for experienced traders and is hard to get on with them, i don't know if either offers remote trading though

i'm curious, does anyone here use different settings for their indicators on different chart time periods? for example, you have a 1 min chart and use stoch. at a 15, 3 setting and use the 3 min chart with different setting for the stoch? or just keep the same setting for the indicator(s) the...

i don't care what the analyst say, i don't ever pay attention to them, but the fact is they will say things about a stock to get it to move in a the direction they want for a short period of time of to make themselves look good. take mmm for example a few weeks ago, absolutely nothing wrong...

go to interactivebrokers.com, look at the homepage on the right side, there is a scrolling window, says new at IB, it show futures trading in IRA acct. i just want to know what the advatage of it is?

hell ya, they do, legally they shouldn't, but if you have the big accounts, you get all of the tips, kind of like buying ipo's, if you're the little acct, you're not going to get in at the offering price, you'll have to wait until it runs up, then the rest of the public can get in, just in time...

Redwood also has 100% payout and a program were you don't need a s-7 for remote, i've been looking into it and so far it seems pretty good.
