Sniper_Trader, Send me an e-mail at Bentleydog1@hotmail.com leland

Just wanted to see if anyone here does or knows of someone who daytrades the BBH (Biotech holders) successfully? I've noticed it has great intraday range but the spread is pretty brutal. Not really sure if it can be traded successfully intraday as I have never tried it. Also wondering if it is...

Praetorian2, You hit the nail on the head right there. One has to be focused on the stocks that are moving. The next question is: how does one do that (LOL)....

DJC, Interesting comments. I know of some traders that only focus on news plays while others are more technical traders. Hard to say which one is better - I guess thats up to the trader.

Predictor, Here is an e-mail address where you can contact me: Bentleydog1@hotmail.com

Predictor, I would like to talk with you further if at all possible. Can I e-mail you?

Predictor, May I ask who you are trading with now? I see you mentioned that you started with Worldco. Do you trade mostly listed stocks?

Anyone care to list 5 listed stocks they like to trade? Say you could only trade these 5 stocks day in and day out. Which would they be?

Nice discussion of the many different trading styles so far. Another interesting style I have heard a lot about is buying new intraday highs out of some form of consolidation. I have heard of some folks having hundreds of these positions on at once. Now that is something!!!

Just wanted to see if anyone is interested in discussing trading sytles. Talk about your style or some other succesful traders styles. Do you like to trade NYSE or nasdaq or both and why? Daytrade or swingtrade? I have often heard people say to find a particular style or set-up that...

What operating system are you running? Windows 2000? I think that under Windows 2000 the operating system recognizes your monitors as one big monitor so if you want to run each monitor at a resolution of 1024 x 768 you would have to run the resolution at 2048 x 1536. Basically Windows will only...

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how those folks that trade for Prop firms such as Bright, Worldco, Echo, etc are taxed? Do you receive a form K-1 at the end of the year? Do you know if the trader is responsible for paying Self-employment tax? Any input would be great, Leland

RTharp, I think the GE/HON trade would be referred to as a spread trade, no? Bright does a lot of spread trading (ie GE/HON). Leland

Dustin, I have heard quite a bit of talk about pair trading lately. Trying to find out some more information. Here is a site that might be of some interest to you but I couldn't find a heck of a lot of information. http://www.market-topology.com Here are a couple of decent "pair trading"...

Hitman, I think you still need an uptick to short into the opening print don't you? For example if XYZ stock opens at 50 and immediately tanks off the open and you had a sell short market order in before the open I don't think your short would be part of the opening print. At least this is my...

Just wondering if anyone here has figured out a way to use the opening print on a listed stock to his advantage? The nice thing about the listed market is that one can enter a market order before the open and that order will become part of the opening print. I have heard that some of the...

Robert, I sent you an e-mail a couple of days ago. Did you happen to get it? I think Penson securites and Southwest Securities both offer Prop. trading but I have no idea if they pay a salary or not. Leland
