I still say it is worth it if you get good training or a mentor to help you. Then quit. Make sure the contract says you don't have to remain there. If he at least has a mentor, he has a better shot than all the other newbies coming in here. Just as a lot of swifties pm me and tell me it...

Ah yes, this is going to be a blowup. Although i give you props kid, I started out with Eturd, and I managed to turn 2k into $2,100 until Eturde screwed me over on something, and money started magically going away after my account was freezed and I couldn't touch my money. So, either...

that's why there are over a thousand stocks....... lol

I got mine in the mail like 2 weeks ago, haven't even looked at it yet, no time. I shall check it out soon.

lol, you obviously didn't read his post... wonderful. If you only had at maximum, a risk of 5k, no matter how much you lost, and could learn there with training, heck I'd take that deal. WIsh I could have started trading on a deal like that.

As a few girls and guys around here would say.... Age is just a number... lol, I just prefer under 23, looking like Jessica Alba, and... yeah good stuff..... :p

I've never been asked my age when joining a prop firm, so that isn't an issue. The question is, like others have asked, do you feel you can make it without any income. It took me about a year to become profitable, and I put in as much work, if not more than the next guy. So, just be sure you...

What timeframe(s) are you going to be using CW for your scalping?

Houses have "For Sale" signs everywhere here in Southern VA, doesn't seem like much buying is occuring though.

Going to a prop firm with 1k at 10 to 1 leverage, maybe 20 to 1, and trading in 100 shares.... could be a good learning experience, if you stick to trading only 100 shares. Should last you at least a month depending on how much your willing to risk per day and have a cut-off point for the day...

It's a difficult road ahead....... Be sure you know what your doing and hopefully don't have any kids or wife or anything to support while making this switch, it will be tough. That's all I have to offer. Others will chime in for sure.

Positives: More leverage, cheaper commissions, higher payout... (General Assumption, each firm might be different) Negatives: Risking the money and possibly losing it all. Also depends if you are responsible for money lost. If you go in no money down, and trade without having to...

Make more money than lose.... :p I'm just scalping on the 1 minute timeframe. I might only get 3 - 5 cents out of AAPL per trade on average. I have been on the hunt for stocks with much more volatility. ... Another GOOG, with a tighter spread... would be freaking awesome. Fairly...

Pretty serious business... APPL better not feck up anything. That's my favorite stock to trade!!!!

I'm going to have to do this too. Once I get Windows Vista, I'm just going to find an application where I can install Windows Vista absolutely fresh, and just freeze it on my HD, so that if something goes wrong (and things always go wrong for me) I can just somehow make that stuff load up and...

Too many restores? HELL YEAH THEY CAUSE PROBLEMS!!! Microsoft is going to disable your key for windows XP, that is what is going to happen. I probably reinstalled 20 times, and after the 20th (I guess that is the limit) they disabled my license, and all attempts to call tech support was...

Run Linux!

Oanda's platform is a little too simple IMO. I think they could learn from MetaTrader though :D I say IB hook up with Metatrader 4 and I'll open an account with them when I hit 21.

Damn, I was just going to post I think it will go higher, so I could claim some glory if it goes higher and be right. Now I'm just going to say it is going to stay between those two lines for a day, and then I can still have something. :p I still would like to trade that chart. Ah well.

Here we go. I don't know if it is suposed to be an upside-down head & shoulders, or a descending triangle (I know they have a specific name) but I'm sure someone might find this useful. I was just looking at the chart (at now 4 AM) and saw it.
