    What good are we traders for?

    jb, I think you have an excellent point. The same thought has occurred to many successful traders, and I personally have not found a satisfying answer. I enjoy my job as a trader enormously, but I'm aware that I can't compare the social benefit of what I'm doing to a doctor, teacher...

    Availability of historical intra-day quotes

    Is anyone aware of a site that provides access to historical intraday data (10min bars would be fine) for the last 3 years ? I found www.price-data.com which has the data for SP500 stocks, but I'm looking for something less expensive (their CDs cost $600) Oliver

    a couple of days ago, we had a situation where some ET members noticed that they got a fill on MO (22nd of July) BEFORE the market opened (7 seconds). The same happened to me yesterday with MWD. Anyone had the same experience ? Any explanations as to why this happens ? It messes up my...

    Career Advice Needed

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    Exactly the same happened to me. I also trade via Redi+. Maybe their internal clock was not properly set. I think the new version says somehting about a new procedure to sync the time between redi and your computer.

    How do prop trading firms make moneY?

    i think people get the wrong ideas about pro(p) firms by reading all those negative comments above. i trade pro because I want to have the leverage, and I want DOT access. For me there are no alternative to pro firms and I co-exist very well with their business model. I pay 1 cent per share...

    European traders, Roll Call !!!

    as a trader through a US LLC, you may not have to pay taxes in Europe because you will have to pay taxes in the US. Depending on the double taxation treaty between the US and the european country, the income from the US will not be taxed in your home country. In my case, I trade through...

    European traders, Roll Call !!!

    I don't think it is possible. Where do you get broadband access over several hours while on the road ? I think there are a couple of interesting initiatives out there such as Vodafone Mobile Office where you can have assess at 56k (modem speed) to the internet. The problem is that data...

    31% Return Over Last 8 Trading Days

    I think the market is very generous right now. I have doubled my por trader account in the last 6 weeks. To me it feels the same as in Oct/Nov of last year where the gains came very easily. But don't start extrapolating these gains into the future. I'm sure reality will catch up with all of us...
