Not sure if everyone is aware of this, so i thought i would post it as info and to say i love brut! What has changed? As announced in Head Trader Alert #2005-087, Brut Directed Cross orders directed to the NYSE will check the NASDAQ book and other electronic destinations prior to being...

+114 today. Should have had 350 at least was kinda sad. Was up $75 in SMG at teh open but fumbled around on the keys before it gapped 70 cents down, and then sold quickly out of FS like a retard to see it jump well over a dollar. Total rookie errors. Otherwise, DPH was solid.

+24 again. Things arent clicking well recently, but i keep feeling like im ever so close to making bigger numbers. Maybe its wishful thinking, maybe its true, time will tell!

+24. Not a good day, had $200 in gross losses.

Just as an observation, I normally use the motto "Make the math make sense". If you are willing to sell at a full dollar loss, and willing to take profit at a 50 cent gain, you must be right over 67% of the time to make money, not including commisions. I have no credibility on swing trading...

I feel the need to further explain my situation given your assumptions to (hopefully) give you some understanding of why i believe in what i am doing. I am 20, and i dont have 'real money' to trade. I know lots of people bash swift because they hire young to churn commisions and have...

+3.58 today :/ Was down the majority of the day. Started scalping EMC when action started late and pulled in $70 to bring me back to even.

I know no one believes that i can possibly pull down the numbers that i do, and i know i dont post screenshots of my blotter everyday, but i swear its all true!!!!!

Hey well im glad someone likes seeing my posts! I post mainly because it serves as a way to reflect on the day. When i get pissed off about how much money i should have made, i tend to not want to look and try to forget about the pain. Coming to ET and posting what i do everyday forces me...

Im just curious... is it your dream to see swift go bankrupt? I get the feeling from your posts your an ex swifttrader who was actually sucessful, and now that your making more money elsewhere you think that the firm you started at should rot in hell. Please correct my wrongs in the above...

Sorry i havent checked this thread in a while. I saved 1 day of trades that i did i think 53% and started to send them to nitro but his PM box was full and never pm'd me back for the list so i figured he'd lost interest. I can't email from work as everything non trader related is blocked...

+81 today. Frustrating again... EFX was just psychotic today and i had some big scores and big losses.

EAG and EWJ are popular still. A few people trade SMH, XLE, and SPY.

+23 today. Battled back from a loss on KMI (what was i thinking/doing?!?!) of $100 early. Felt like the whole day when i was greedy i was too greedy, and when i wasnt greedy, i should have been. Need to work on position sizing and scaling out for sure.

judging by the numbers, hamilton is the best, and ottawa copies them. calgary and kelowna are good with amex etfs and copying hamilton. I heard the vancouver office is professional and nicely decorated! thats all i know Oh, and ottawa apparantly has no A/C so heat waves kill you...

Friday +2 Swiftrade had problems and called it a day early. Stupid crap but whatever. Monday +134 Was up 140 at the open, tried some new things, learned a lot, finished with only a $19 loss from top so it was ok. Im going to be increasing my share lots from 100 to 200 at the open so...

As im sure (or hope) you know a paper fill is not real. I didnt not trade it so i dont know for sure, but im assuming by the stories a buy or sell could have slipped over 1 point, so 1 point in and 1 point out of 500 shares is -1000 per trade instantly. Not to mention missing the offers, and...

I cant for the life of me understand how it is down so much. They make money from us making trades and money, why would they not hire competant people or better software/hardware to have more uptime and more making money? I wonder what the estimate would be for lost money just friday. Good...

I thought you couldnt short IPO's for 30 days?

Im just wondering if i understand right that on a $9 stock it dropped over a dollar and a half with no fills? In my experience when taking a large loss, which is obviously rare, i find i could have got out many times before but i say the most dangerous thing i can think of being: "well im...
