    Traits of a top trader Re: Wordlco

    Hitman- I picked Echo. First off I must add that I still need to get fingerprinted and once that is done I should be up and running by Feb 1st. For now, my trading acct is with Terranova, and has been since October 2000. I liked the professionalism of the people I spoke with at Echo...

    Traits of a top trader Re: Wordlco

    Hitman- I'm not complaining, I'm just telling it like it is my friend. I just wouldn't want that place to be where I went to work everyday. And as far as being "on Wall St" who cares? My cousin works on the biggest trading floor in the country (Ubs Warburg"..you know where it is? Connecticut...

    Traits of a top trader Re: Wordlco

    Recognizable patterns, validity?

    I'm with Allen on this one. Technical analysis does work. Not 100% of the time...yes, MM's or specialist can manipulate some thin issues , but I don't think it would be possible for anyone to manipulate the qqq's or something similar... For me...I have John Murphy's book Technical Analysis...

    Where is Echo ?

    Vikana- are you just trying by e-mail or did you try calling them? I talked to someone in operations last week. She picked up the phone on the first ring. Maybe they're having trouble with their e-mail server. uptik2000

    January Trading Journals

    yeah, i have to say I'm a little shocked at Hitman's last post....he hasn't learned anything from other people? ok , that's fine, but why post your journals? when i visited him at worldco I thought that was a great offer on his part...to let me see what he was doing there but frankly...I've...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    i missed Magna's question about the ratio...yeah even that was no good and here's why: what I was looking at ws the low from wednesday, which was about 40.47...and I was THINKING that if it pushed down through that I could get a point winner, which would be a 1:1 ratio which is dumb!....and...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    Thanks BSAM. Yeah, I almost didn't post any more trades 'cause the last two i posted people mostly just tried to critisize it. And it wasn't like I was saying "Hey look at this trade. My way is best" I just use old basic technical analysis stuff...and only started posting because I thought it...
