I dont have a picture again, but i did 79 today. Not exactly what i was going for. That pushes up the number i need to about 140 a day to reach the assigned goal.

Because there is no specialist on the NASDAQ, there is no 'opening print'. They do have an opening cross, but i dont know exactly how it works, and i dont think it guarantee's fills.

If that was directed at me I would like to say i do not trade the millenium style and i do not do rebate trading.

Do any of you read www.innerworth.com ? I read it everyday, and earlier in the week, perhaps even this morning, there was a good article able comparing yourself and dealing with competition/inadequacy. I suggest reading it in the future, it can get repeditive, but i enjoy it every morning...

I dont have a snapshot of my blotter today, but i did $138. I need to do $131 per day over the next 8 trading days to reach my assigned goal for the month.

Please, stop being a retard and quoting stuff out of context. Go back and read the entire sentence.

Is this true for AMEX as well?

One other question.... I do day trading, so if i was to place a buy on open order, would teh shares show in my blotter right at 9:30, or would they only show when the group print goes by on the time of sales around 9:40.

Just a quick couple questions about these types of orders... If i enter a buy on open order before the market opens will i get filled the shares i input 100% of the time? Or is there a chance that i will not get filled because there is not enough shares to fill me. Also Can you go...

Heres the end of my day. I made the goal again this week so i get to move up in shares if i want next week. Really feels good. I work at swifttrade fyi.

Well because i work as a prop trader the goals are set for me. Like this week the goal is $400. Im at $293 going in to friday, so i have a chance. Each time you make the goal you move up in shares. My personal goal is $140 per day. EDIT : Blotter screwed up reposted.....

Heres my day today at the close This is the best day ive had ever, so this isnt really a good gauge of how well i normally do. Like i said Im only in my second month so far. EDIT: Reposted blotter below....

I will start posting my blotter tommorow (i dont trade from home) to keep this thread going. I'm not sure how to do it yet but im sure i can figure it out. Im new to trading so its nothing much, but i enjoy seeing others so i will post my own.

Dont look at me, those arent my numbers. Im the idiot who cant make a point remember.....

I can see with your ideas of the branch things dont work, but being at one you see that it does. I also dont see the need to spill the details of my life about how 35k usd per year is a great income.

I must also add that i have learned it doesnt matter how you trade, only if you make money. It doesnt matter if you scalp, swing trade, arb, whatever.... If you make money, then you are a good trader. There is no hidden rule on what style you must trade to be considered a "trader"...

Traders throughout the 5 branches that i follow average 100-300 per day on average. There is about 50 traders i'd guess throughout these 5 branches. thats 5000-15000 net per day that is being split up. so assuming each branch makes say 500 per day, 10000 per month...... wtf is wrong with...

Cost stucture and infrastructure to me would mean do you have the commision schedule and platform to perform these types of trades. Scalping 1-2 pennies means your execution fees must be under a dollar per round trip. And with pass throughs you need a platform with lightning fast order...

Hamilton is consistantly the best branch of swift trade day after day. Im assuming that would make it the best swift branch to learn at.

This is the entire basis of many prop firms. Some are doing great, but i would field a slightly educated guess that most of the individual traders are not doing that great. Reason being that if your only making 1 cent per trade and have to rely on being filled enough shares on each side with...
