when goldman bought out spear leeds kellogg, they fired most of the goldman MMs and used the SLK MMs. Goldmans MMs had the benefit of order flow most of the time, and as such, did not have to make the same type of decisions as do prop traders. Its much easer to make a profit when you got a...

looks like a rising wedge to me too, its my understanding that they usually break at the more sharply sloped line. so maybe a break down? :confused:

in the chart scaling window, try clicking on Snap to Date Range.

you might want to make sure you are subscribed to get CBOE data from Real Tick, I know it is an extra fee, and you might not have asked for it when you set up.

does anyone know the correct tax treatment for options that expire worthless? is it the same as a buy and sell loss? also, how can this be noted in the return, since there is no sale price to calculate a p/l from. thanks a lot.

do you mean the options on the Qs? the actual QQQ stock never expires.

i use 2 dell 1900FP and one dell 1500FP, and have been happy with them. check out the dell web site, if you wait, they usually take a couple of hundred off the larger FPs, every month for a few days as a special. just make sure you have enough RAM for the video apps. i'd say at least 512K...

try not to scalp the mini's i think the best results will come if you have a defined system for your entry points, set a resonable stop loss, and set a defined tight trailing stop once the trade reaches your objective. i have mede the switch from options and equity to futures, and it...

did anyone notice how the put/call ratio rose today? it hit a new multi-month low of under .4 this morning and then rose to over .6 even as the market turned upward this afternoon. i am wondering if institutions are looking at a downturn, or is it simply just gain protection.

i think a lot could be learned by studying the way the general public viewed the market, and how the market responded. i am the first one to find fault in how cnbc may have fuled buying just as much as the analysts did. however, it is hard to argue that since the market is a good...

does anyone know where i could find old cnbc programs? thanks

schonfeld is still self clearing, they are also member NYSE

i used to work for schonfeld. their good points are that the treat their traders very well, their training is some of the best out there, and they usually give you a large amount of capital to work with. they also have some great scanning software. their rates and payouts could be better...

SOUNDS like a sports car, maybe. performance wise, its more like a Fiat.

not a good place to work, i used to work there and know some who are still there. they make you sign a contract, which locks you in for 2 years. also, they lack many good traders, so learning to trade there will be tough. management is a complete joke. the Holds are generally not easy to...
