that is also a problem you must consider. unless you are already a heavy volume trader, the pressure to do high volume can destroy your state of mind and your account completely. seen it happen to quite a few traders. so if you are a small volume trader right now, you are walking into a death trap.

the SEC rule exists for at least a few years. i know for a fact that inside Generic, some traders must abide by it and some do not. but i don't know how exactly this works. some prop firms, or at least companies that offer the exact same services that prop firms offer (e.g. Bright), do not...

LOL i had exactly the same experience. he was the God of the office, although no one EVER got to see his P&L. whoever sat next to him and tried to learn, never understood anything he actually did. in hindsight, we found out it's because he himself didn't know what he was doing. eventually, to...

honestly, i would give longhorn a try if i don't need to buy new hardware for it. problem is no one on earth can answer what the hardware requirements are!

the SEC rule is real, although i forgot its code. some traders at generic must abide by the rule and some don't. don't ask me why. if you do sign with them, make sure you can get your money back any time you want. otherwise, it's 1 year since you deposited the money. about contacting don...

generic has a habit of locking away your money for one year, citing some SEC rule about it. in other words, once you put down the money, you won't be able to draw it until 12 months later. on top of that, you will have to pay high commissions and they take 20% of your profits. does it sound like...

can anyone send a link to a clear vivid list of longhorn's minimal and/or recommended hardware requirements (cpu, ram, etc.) thanks (if you'll ever find one)

vendors that can make money trading are almost non-existent. those that do make money, don't make impressive amounts. they found their fame in the TRADING EDUCATION world. however in the TRADING world, nobody even knows their name. this is true for 99.99% of vendors out there. NONE of...

i found that i was almost as emotional with paper trading as i was with live money! this helped identify some problems. perhaps the best course is - trade live, get burned, switch to paper, sort it out, go back to live. every time you lose a certain sum you predetermine because of your...

:D the russians are the future you know. :cool:

switching from IB to MBT? that's like trading your Porsche for a horse with a cart. besides their consistent reliability issues, their platform is the joke of the industry. TWS rocks! i also started using the book trader feature lately and it's really comfortable.

rapidshare looks nice. they say they don't delete the files as long as someone downloaded them in the last 30 days. so just download it yourself once a month if you want to keep it fresh. i'll try it. thanks.

it wouldn't matter to me if you believe that time cycles is fiction, or that anything else is anything for that matter. since i take interest in the subject, i was angered by the fact that you showed up with an empty remark e.g. 'it's useless and you're all gamblers'. since then, you have...

definitely a respectable argument. i did not intend to start a dissing contest, rather i found your previous remarks to be assulting. thanks for clearing yourself out. as far as my personal experience goes, markets DO react to time, and they react in an astonishingly accurate way. there does...

no, in fact i was opposing what you said and remarking that what you wrote included no content what so ever. i doubt anyone here will disagree:

gee, did you figure out this complex and original concept all by yourself or did einstein help you?

if i except a breakdown or breakout at a certain time (that time derives from my cycle calculation), and exactly at that time or slightly afterwards the market starts moving the other way, then it is likely that the original move i expected will not occur. so i should either get out or perhaps...

series 7 does not directly relate to being a professional. you can hold any cert you wish, as long as you are not actively engaged in 'professional' activity, employed by a 'professional' entity and so on, then you are still a non-pro.

trading YM, full time retail. profitable but the income isn't that big yet. my method is good but i have a slow brain and make a lot of mistakes. we'll see what happens. no wife no kids and a lot of good times :cool:
