1011011 you could be right. But, you cant compare Google and FB. People end up on these 2 sites for 2 different reasons so their inclination to buy would be different. In GOOG you place a search "Buy Car" and then you get ads, and in face book you place "check out my new car!" and then you get...

So? Now conversations can take place from a device that will allow you to log in automatically. The issue is the propensity of these people to buy the product they are presented with according to their conversation. There are not there to buy, therefore they don't "see" the ads. GM was the...

When brokers acquire brokers, they have zero interest in supporting or learning about their technology platform, back office, or their employees. They buy their book of clients, move them to their own platform. end of story.

Another issue is also what kind of content you have between users on the internet. Do they share intelligent conversations on FB? the answer is 100% not. The conversations are of leisure. Since their algorithm uses people's conversations for ads, it pulls stupid ads as well. I think that FB...

Go with www.optimusfutures.com because they are flexible. Before you discuss commissions check stability, recommend platform, etc I use ninja with Rithmic with them and I never even heard of ninja or rithmic before they mentioned it. its very stable and it works well even during peak...

This is what I was thinking. isn't a Forward against what the exchange stands for? standardized contracts? RG

I do 5note/10note spreads right on the DOM if they are recognized spreads, you should be able to place limits no problem. I am not an IB customer, but I would assume that they would have the same. RG

That was funny! I wish I could say I am cool when I lose..I hate it, and my day is complete garbage if I lose more than I planned. Could be more disciplined emotionally like I was, but that frustration taught me to be more selective. I trade a lot less often that I did. RG

I am using Rithmic/Rtrader for execution and NinjaTrader for charting/execution. really fast execution, and stable. I think you can plug rithmic to most platforms. RG

I think that when you ask "how much can I make" is because you need to cover bills, expenses, etc and you rely on some cash coming in. The market owes you nothing and its not an annuity. from your question you cant afford trading now neither the course you are about to take. RG

Thanks! Yes, you have South American who jumped on South Beach real estate and bought out the most expansive condos at 50-70% discount. But, they won't live here and will not contribute to the local economy and a real estate pocket like this will not change the real estate country wide(no pan...

I am not a real estate guru, but here is my argument: States that are judicial where the state has to foreclose and the judge is involved still are not sorted out. Namely, not all residents have been evicted and many of those don't pay a dime in mortgages, and their houses have not been...

Change NOTHING! you make money and above average, so what is the problem? This is exactly how traders screw up, with "perfecting" a system. Ask yourself this: What are the odds of always getting what you want, whether entry or exit consistently all the time? If your technical said 6.00...

It's a mentally exhausting game. Even if you win, which is rare for many, you will be drained from the amount of education you have to dedicate to that. I am not trying to discourage one from this game, but so many come here and ask "Is it worth it?" the amount of time you have to study the...

I am not here to determine whether one style or another is a "loser's game" This is my 2 cents: what turns any style to a "loser's game" is the one trade that "kills". You develop a methodology, you refine it and trade it for a long time. One day it does not go your way, and you make all the...

I think that this is such a subjective question. To be honest, with age, I have noticed that I my risk tolerance has gone down a little(??), and I have become more selective in my choices. but, this is not because I am less sharp. I try to select those patterns that have shown much better...

What's with you guys? You think a weekend on a farm house will change your life? He can be a womanizer or make love to the cows on his farm, who cares? in the good old days best traders in the pit spent their money "partying" and if there is an old pit trader here he can tell you stories...

you mixing here apples and oranges. There is a thing called undercapitalized (small account) There is a thing called over leveraged (big accounts with huge positions) Then there is lack of risk management lastly, sometimes there are just pure bad positions you refuse to get out of...

Ask the compliance officer of the firm where you clear your business. He will give you someone who worked with regulators before. RG

Matt, I just found your post! You run a great shop, and I appreciate your support. Rithmic is great and I although I resisted in the beginning you insisted on it and I am happy today. Thanks for not being a "yes, sir" kinda guy. listen, Jennifer is always best with all these paperwork I...
