This could be true especially if they were market orders. They take priority. So if the specialist ran out of shares and filledall the markets, then your out of luck.

Sorry misread your post. Assurances you can get.

No firm can give you that gaurantee. It's impossible. There's no way, that just from meeting you, they can tell whether or not you will succeed. The only guarantee that you should get, is that they will deliver on their promises with the systems, training, and whatever else talked about.

You sound like someone who needs tweeking. I would advise you to find a mentor who will help you find better entry points, teach you to lock in your profits, and to control your losses.

If you choose the right prop firm you'll be very happy at one. As others have stated, you get more leverage, which is the biggest advantage, and if it's a successful firm, you'll get to trade idea's with other traders in the firm which will improve your performance. Unfortunately, some...

The reason he did it was to step in front of you. If the bid was him, then you would take preference. If the .85 bid was a downtick then he can definately step in front of you cause he can buy on the downtick. He was trying to get you to go market, get filled higher so he can take your shares...

Losses are just part of the game. Keep them as small as possible, and you'll continue to win.

Yeh, recently the good up moves have setup during lunch, that's why I've avoided getting away from my computer for more then a few minutes to get something to eat. These days you just never know when the big moves up or down are gonna come. It's not as clear cut as it used to be.

I'm just curious to find out how many traders out there spend the whole day trading. I know alot of people trade only the morning and the afternoon, but avoid midday. Curious to why that is, besides that midday could be boring, but there are trading opps. I know, when the market was awesome...

I would also add the average posts of people that put you on the kick and ignore list. This way, if someone who just logged on to put you onto the kick/ignore list to make others think you're bad, it'll reflect in the average posts per user.

I agree with you. There are times when I do a trade and really have no idea why, but it works like a charm and I can pin point the exact entry and exit point. It doesn't happen often, maybe once a week, but let me tell you, it's freaky. Your subconscious has seen a situation. It's able to...

If your computers can handle it, install Windows XP, it's much more stable then 95 or 98. The computers will run much better.

We all would love to be 100% mentally strong, but unfortunately human nature doesn't allow for it 100% of the time. I'm pretty consistent in my P&L, but every once in awhile, I lose it and break my own rules, which usually results in a losing day, or barely making money. As long as we can...

Give them a call in the New York office, and they'll put you in touch with the San Diego office. I don't remember the number, but call 411 and ask for the Andover Office on 57th and Lexington ave in Manhattan.

Here is the link to the linksys router that I have. It allows you to connect up to four pc's using hard wire, and you can also connect computers via a wireless card. I love this thing. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005ARK3/102-0210445-9634543

The SEC recently increased their fee's per share of stock. They pretty much doubled it. So $40 for 40,000 shares is about right for SEC fee's.

We show each of our traders how to do research and pick the right stocks to trade. How to read the tape and use technical analysis. We go over most of the trades every night or morning, on top of just having a general open forum on the floor for questions that everyone can benefit from. We go...

We answer these questions for every trader that interviews with us, or inquires. We don't take the approach, if they don't ask, we don't tell. We go over every point in depth. We want to make sure that the trader knows exactly what the yare getting into. If you'd like I can post the answers...

The guy who runs the office is an awesome trader. I knew him from when he was at Worldco NY. One of his trainers that went with him, is also really good.

I do work - I work for my partner, I work for my traders and I work for myself!
