We are not talking about the top 10% of this country...everyone knows the top will always survive and thrive...we are talking about the entire country here. Most of the people of this country are not quite as nimble as you suggest. Sure I may make a million a year being a nimble entrepreneur...

Not to jump into this skirmish here, but how does one know how old another is or what professional record another has or what trading record another has? Nobody really knows and if they do, there is a huge potential that it is total BS anyways. So just relax new people this is a message board.

Absolutely agree. I would rather spend my extra time working on my own trading or with my friends or my girlfriend than to "give back" and help a stranger to learn to trade for free. If a trader makes 200k or more a year, they may want a couple grand to make it worth their while. I...

I think it is a combination of many things. I wanted to mention of few of my ideas why this might be happening. First, Since all the specialist firms have been investigated and fined, they can know go back to doing what they love to do. Since it will probably be another 30 years before...

Well said.

Exactly what I was thinking

I guarantee that almost 99% of all prop firms will require more capital contributed when you lose your initial 2500. Some may alllow you to go negative maybe another 2000. Soon after that you will be called in to an office and you will be asked to put up more money or discontinue trading. I...

NYSE is not bad at all. If you can no longer trade it, maybe find something else to trade that will make you money. Constantly belittling something because you can't handle it doesn't exactly make it a bad thing. In trading the markets it is one's own fault for failure, it is not the markets...

Hold Brothers??? Again, what does all this have to do with Hold Brothers?

I am using build 819, but i don't see the option for the real time charts. I just see the same choices that were there before. such as "show market depth" "show Graph" "show news" etc. Am I doing something wrong here?

I Are they really that bad?

I have been trying to determine amongst all the info on elitetrader what is the best charting and programable software to use across multiple markets(i.e. stocks, futures, forex futures, etc). It has been nearly impossible short of trying both myself. You have people bashing...

Kerry, may be anti-war....who cares. He served his time and saw what war truly was. Bush, since he is not anti-war, could we then consider him anti-peace? Sounds appropriate to me. What one would I chose. Hmmm. Someone who fights for the country yet also stands up for what believes...

Smart Move, this guy is a genius. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/167534p-146472c.html http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101040301/bpolitics.html I guess next we can say all the homeless panhandling on the street are self employed small business's that need to be...

You are absolutely wrong and misinformed. I know of many DAY traders making plenty of money in this market just going in and out. There is money to be made in any time frame (1 minute to infinity) and in any market(stocks, forex, futures, etc). It is up to the individual to find out how.

I could understand how you feel about prop firms due to what happened to you. However, many successful traders find prop firms to be a useful way of going about business. If your going to trade 10k shares a day, there is really no point in trading prop(unless of course your just starting and...

That was certainly a good party that year. Only went down hill from there.

If you are already paying for the "professional" exchange fees for one software package, are you able to somehow avoid paying this for additional software/charting packages. Example: If I pay for CME quotes via IB do I have to also pay the same fee to tradestation. Or if I pay the 130.00...

How do the forex futures trade in relation to the forex spot market? Is there a direct relationship in which for example when the EUR/USD spot is moving say 50 pips, the EUR/USD future will correspondingly move approximately the same? I have only been watching the two markets simultaneously...

Thank You very much. I was able to pull them up and I now see the tight spreads you all have been talking about. Other then using the spot forex charts, are there actual charts on these futures(I am sure there are) and where can I get them? Thanks again.
