    There have been alot of firms and LLC's that have pushed the market shorts on the NY over the past year, but it has become a dying style. With the market being so strong, the Institutions are not throwing out the orders that they used to. Most who are still playing that game waste time and...

    Letters from a Pro Part I

    Great point on Currencies. They do "follow the rules" much better. Technically they are a head above stocks. As for those 50 to $60 nasdaq stocks. No matter who you are, if you take big positions to scalp in those stocks you will take big hits. As for me, and many that I know, the...

    Letters from a Pro Part I

    currencies are not necessarily easier, it is just a different animal. Most stocks have a kind of personality depending on the specialist, institutions that trade it, daytraders that trade it, manipulation that occurs ect... Some people do better on one stock than another. Same goes with...

    Scalping: Is this consider a qualilty method of trading?

    Scalping: Is this consider a qualilty method of trading?

    500K/ year....You are out of your mind. I know hundreds of traders, and no one, I mean no one is making that kind of money. Get your facts straight before you open your mouth. In 2000 the best scalpers I knew including myself made multiple 7 fig. In todays market, the best scalpers are...

    What is Similiar to HAMMER?

    I have traded 6 or 7 platforms, and there is nothing like Hammer. Too many other systems try to think too much for you. Hammer is a more plain application that is designed for speed, and I don't know about you, but speed is key. It is not as good looking as GR8trade, but it is more stable...

    You don't need a link, just try hitting a bid more than .05 from last print. Can't do it, thay have had it in effect for a while now. Just go market, and you'll get it. It sucks, but you get used to it. Bandit
