Do they make you hold a postion for a minimum 30 days or until you lose 15% of its original value? Do they require permission to buy and liquidate? If not, then you have it pretty easy as compared to some other places. -Neo

Its not nice to wish someone misfortune... Remember, what comes around goes around. Reminds me of the communist mentality of "If I can't have it, no one will". -Neo

Strange... futures trading should be the least likely to attract the attention of regulators since its much harder to have insider information. You work for Nazis... Let me guess you have to use a limited number of brokers from their list? -Neo

They won't allow you to short futures either?

ROFL, I have to laugh at your statement. It sounds to me like you think the "industry" hasn't had their share of aspersions without reason. The bottom line is that if he is a nobody he will be severely punished when cought, if he is a somebody (in which case he wouldn't be posting here) he will...

On the other hand they might never catch on. I had a friend who used to work at Lehman Brothers, his cube mate traded stocks online all day long and nothing happened. But is is really worth the trouble? Suppose they do find out, you will most likely be forced to return the profits...

Many brokers will ask you before opening an account whether you work for a bank or broker/dealer. Using this info they will rat you out to your employer. -Neo PS. I hope you didn't post this message from your work computer, because it was most likely logged. Good luck.

Ugh... I was actually considering CQG. Here are some places I found with historicals: http://www.tickdata.com/html/pricing1.html http://www.opentick.com http://www.scmagic.org/phpBB/portal.php http://www.bayou.com/~smcg/cdata.htm http://www.regisdata.co.uk/orderdata.htm...

Patrick, What you lack in class you more then make up in ego... -Neo

Scalper21, Although I agree with you on your general philosophy (ie Napoleon Hill mind set), my question is how do you prevent multiple losing trades from blowing up your account? Surely you must have a cut off point? You have to keep track of PnL in a general way, otherwise you are at risk...

Recently I had the opportunity to talk with an Energy trader. The guy isn't one of the largest traders on the institutional side, but big enough to be know in the right circles. Anyways, my discussion with him wasn't centered on trading per se, but I did get to see what he puts up on his charts...

I think he is trying to say that trading currencies through a bucketshop is a scam, by this I mean the current popular spot currency dealers/brokers. If you trade currency futures on an exchange (ie. CME) you will have a much higher probability of not getting cheated on execution, having fake...

An ok book, but your lack of previous posts makes it look like you are spamming the board and trying to promote the book. May I suggest other goodies: "Mastering the Trade" by Carter "Methods of a Wallstreeet Master" by Trader Vic "The Market Makers Edge" by Lukeman "Phantom's Gift" by...

zdreg, Apparently you don't think very highly of me, but lets be realistic here, it takes only a couple of minutes to phone in an order to sell your stock, probably less time then going to the bathroom. Therefore implying that he was wasting precious time selling his assets instead of...

Hehe, who can blame the guy? I would be doing the same exact thing. Remember, the most important ass is your own and your families, everybody else comes second. -Neo

And all a computer is is an idiot that follows directions well. I think the problem is that its hard to define an efficient algorithm and for it to be adaptable too. A good human trader makes many decisions in a trading day that would be hard to quantify on paper and turn into rules that can...

Yea I believe he is... didn't he have a thread on here asking what the cover should look like? -Neo http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1046822&highlight=Andras#post1046822

Forget about getting a programming job at a financial corp. It will be just as boring as your current job, maybe even more. If you want to be considered for writing trading algorithms, then go back to school and get a PHD in mathematics or physics, otherwise they won't even look at your resume...

my7tvette, I thought the book was worth the money. However, if you are hesitant why don't you stop by Barnes & Noble and look through it yourself. If its not your cup of tea then you don't have to buy it. -Neo
