You are crazy if you think all executions systems are the same and that firms have nothing to do with your success. I have been to several firms myself and their is a huge difference in execution between the firms out there. It does not matter how good you are at trading if you can't get the...

What is the difference between swing trading and position trading?

If I remember right I thought they use to be on the same team.

Where did you hear this rumor from? Supposedly they make money from the business and that side of the business still does a lot of volume for the firm so I would be surprised but anything can happen.

Those boredom trades can be tough. I think I need to get better at taking a break in the middle of the day when days get this slow. I will sit an try to pay attention thru the BS and by the time the close comes where there is at least the potential for move I am so bored to death and unfocused...

The Andover office might take on new traders, I know the owner had in the past and there is a Worldco office that might in Boulder. At least it is worth checking out but I don't think the odds are very high in either case unless you are putting up risk money. But then again if you do that I...

Well also remember I said that these VDU signals occured in line with signals that I was already using and helped confirmed the change in direction I was looking for or gave me a heads up to be prepared for POSSIBLE action around possible pivot areas. Like everything it does not work 100% of...

After today I am a believer in the VDU bars. I combined that with what I am already looking at and it worked like magic. In fact if you were just looking for VDU bars there were three trades already today worth 8 - 10 points. Hopefully today use and consistency is indicative of future...

Look at the threads on the liquidity quote. A lot of stocks have been trading like that for a couple of months now as they were "testing" this on the masses without too much publicity. I think their were 2 or 3 threads on this where this was occuring on stocks like wmt, c ,mrk, pfe, ect

I think the guys a Schonfeld practiced trading the relative strength game and did well with if for a few years too. That was what they had been teaching all their new traders for years. However they are having troubles with it too and recently shut 4 offices down. Also in bull market type...

Well 2K is pretty excessive for a 3 day course. Most of the stuff you could probably get out of a $50 book. I have seen a few of their teachers/mentors trade of the course of a few months and if you knew the results you probably would laugh at yourself for thinking about paying 2K to get...

What are these intraday factors that you are referring too that are indicating a selloff by the close?

Thanks for the info. I am looking at the AGP format ATI Radeon 9000. Have you heard anything good or bad about that card?

Thanks for the reply. I spoke with a computer tech and he recommended the same thing with just getting the AGP dual head card. If down the road I want to add the 3rd monitor I will just add the additional card.

Where are the dual monitor computer guru's?

I have a newer Dell computer with the 32MB ATI Rage 128 ultra card in the AGP slot. I recently purchased the ATI 7500 Radeon 64 MB PCI card. I run XP professional. I wanted to know if others have had any issues running these cards both at the same time. After I first installed it the second...

I came up with a couple of question for you. 1. In your counting cycle you get a number for accumulation or distribution. How are you defining or determining which is which? I remember seeing your graph of this 8 point cycle and wondered how you can get increasing price, increasing...

What is funny about this, like a lot of places is that they come across like you are being hired and have to go thru an interview process in order to trade "prop" with them. However you are taking all the risk and they are just leveraging your money for you. In any other business you would...

Back in the day though wasn't that where a lot of NYSE short term traders got their price improvement from. I like the fact that institutions were more concerned with getting filled then getting filled at the lowest possible price because their orders caused the nice ebb and flow which I could...

There website is http://www.fnysllc.com/. I don't work there but just heard today from a friend that spoke to some of their people recently. According to him there were several people still putting up 6 figure months and 7 figure years there. However I heard it is a bitch to get into...
