but just for my own edification, how would one trade currencies such as this. would any IB do it? Become A Millionaire, One Million in One Day! I am so glad you decided to purchase this info. You will thank me for it I’m sure. As you know, we are in a war with Iraq right now. Did you...

quality post nononsense. guy discloses a treasury bond system for free, which is more useful than anything you've posted in 4700 tries, and you come out with the personal attacks. good idea. :mad:

it's a good idea, trying to create a user generated content community, with a focused goal. i'm wondering how they are going to market this? how did you hear about it anyway? as evidenced by this post, message boards are a good way to get the word out :p

fader's right if you put 5k in and get 100-1 margin and you sweep your account every month and just keep 5k in and save 5k a month in commissions over bright who cares in 12 months if you lose your 5k. you saved 60k in commissions :confused: what firm and rate allows you to do that.

not trading related, but bankrate.com has a pretty good email newsletter that tells you about taxes, mortgages, etc.

someone mentioned seekingalpha.com, which is a very good site that i had never heard of, so wondering if others have some that are relatively undiscovered but high quality and free. here's one to start: traders magazine. it's a free print magazine geared towards IB traders. talks about...

there are tons of them, you can short any sector of the market you desire, semis, banks, biotech, housing, oil. you don't even need a downtick :p

i agree with rufus. strategies work very well for a while, but due to a change in rules, such as order handling, fractions to pennies, or just an inefficiency gets worked out, that systems will not work forever, and new ones must be developed to a new environment.

art market is on fire right now. fortuitous timing.

not much. in fact, i'd have to seriously consider whether i wanted to reveal my strategies.

ouch, those positions were 100% wrong. no matter what risk per position you have on that set of trades, you're going to be taking a beating.

ok, then how can i post an arca bid, see that someone is going to hit me, then decide whether i feel like trading at that price or not. yes, they can do it if only 1 is on the nyse bid and auto ex is disabled.

you see a quote for say 500 bid a few pennies below the highest bid on the NYSE. you go to hit, and somehow it cancels and you get a "not there" error message (using laser at Genesis) and the bid disappears. talking about fairly illiquid stocks. anyone else finding this? happens a few times...

temp to perm is certainly an option. it got me my first job, not at an elite firm, but as an equity research analyst at a large international firm. the temp position was actually back office accounting, but they sent out a list of jobs every few weeks for the entire company and since i had a...

great thinking. will definitely look into that. are there any other hedge funds that we should look for too?

CNBC really did a horrible one-sided job covering this story.

i don't get the allegations, because they didn't sign that the information is from SAC? who cares. people can make their own judgement about the validity of the information. if they find it to be BS, they can go long and squeeze SAC, or pick up shares on the cheap if it gets wrongly pummelled...

this one is going on the dvr james cramer alluded to this in his book. hedge funds pressure analysts to upgrade or downgrade stocks. it's kind of amazing that the stock even reacts to these upgrades and downgrades given how low the credibility is of analysts. you could argue that SAC is...

are institutional prop desks really as big as people allude to on this board. i can't imagine there are many people doing this. i'm talking about taking positions for the firm, not sales traders who generate and process big volume for clients. i'd be curious to know a number.

it's unlikely you will get a job on a trading desk without a top degree from a top institution or without knowing someone. you should at least try though and be persistent. just sending out resumes isn't going to get you anywhere, and i like the idea of calling twice a day for a week. i used to...
