4 for 4, +1 scratch, netting about 50 cents. i had to sit through some pain with a couple of them, about 25 cents worth in two, so i saw my P&L swing from -400 to end at +350.

well, i lost in it too. fortunately, i held 400 of the 700 until it got back to a little above even, so it wasn't a complete disaster. i know don would've made big money in it. i've learned that i just don't trade certain stocks well, and so i just take them off. i'm considering taking this...

don...did you get LLY. i made 10 cents on it. LOL. anyway, 2 for 2 for +35 cents.

hey don...i cut my list in half two weeks ago, from about 25 to 12 or 13. i just couldn't watch the tape on the 7-10 or more fills i was getting. now i'm getting, 2-4, though today i had 6. plus, i've pruned my list to slower stocks, and those that have a high probability based on historical...

i disagree. you need to project yourself into the role and act like you belong. if it's semi-formal (like ETG), then definitely a suit. if it's informal (WORLDCO), then business casual - dress shirt, dark pants, and black shoes

http://www.cisco-futures.com/ it's also availabe as an add-on for firstalert, which can be found at http://www.neovest.com

well, i guess there were sellers in there willing to absorb whatever index buyers wanted.

found it...thanks. for what it's worth, i think it's still worth. never done this before, but will also look to get short on the MOC gap up, though i'll put in a limit above the market.

do you have a link to this addition. who's being deleted? i can't find anything related to an addition on the dow jones newswire, nor on the standard and poors website.

i'm not saying ETG didn't do any of those things, nor did i say your issues with ETG were not legitimate. i don't know, and i don't care, as they have no bearing on me and what is going on at ETG now. i have no problems with you. you're certainly entitled to your opinion. i wish you good...

the new york office in the financial district (there's one in midtown now). no, no capital. exactly....and the tradeoff is...contract and higher commissions. i don't have a problem with the contract. why would they let you lose money for 6 months, then leave once you learned on their money...

mr. sunshine? LOL... brags about how he can bullshit people, like it's some kind of admirable quality...go to used car sales rather than trading. then he admits he didn't put his references on his resume, which would sink him. why would somebody have bad references? because they are a...

i work there, and from what you've written, you sound like a piece of shit. you are in the initial stages though, so hopefully you won't get it. it doesn't even sound like you've had anything but the initial phone interview (it used to be a policy to call all applicants), so with any luck...

TraderJimR....when you want to do a trade inquiry, who exactly do you call. we clear through SLK and i made reference to a trade correction once, and the guy at SLK said to forget about it. is there someone at the NYSE that i would call? thanks

in response to don's post, and looking ahead, i was thinking about using scale orders in order to get bigger - say 3-5k shares. it's either that, or grow laterally by trading more stocks. or maybe both :-) anyway, today was decent. really blew one trade - a short, that went about 10 cents...

common?? program trading accounts for 20-30% of the volume on the NYSE on any given day. dow jones news releases this on its news feed every day after the close. i haven't noticed it lately, but did so when i had access to ILX about a year ago.

only 2 fills in SBC and both winners? i'll double check on the stock and post the results tomorrow.

i have found that a catalyst can severely hamper the effectiveness of certain stocks, for usually a week or two. you get filled on the same side almost every day, and you get hurt. it is often triggered by a significant news event. a few examples: SBC, getting filled several times in the...

did ok today, missed a print that cost me a quarter, but managed 45 cents in another, which is about what i netted. tried to hold on to a couple of other longs, but they just wouldn't go, and are now actually down on the day. of course, as soon as i cut my list in half, would've been 5 for 6...

fair enough...thanks.
