I have a question for those of you who include family monies in your accounts. I have family members that wish to add to my accounts and I have no problems for them to do so (I am not greedy). I am not sure how I should structure this. I know that some of you do this, like p2, and would like...

You can be assured that the above Colonel quote has nothing to do with talking, or "lowering" military action. You have interpreted it in its' opposite intention.

??? Please explain how someone shorting into a sell-off (bullets or just waiting for any up tick), thus pushing harder on it, is the same as someone buying... Regardless if one decides to cover or sell their position later on??? Ever here of a bear run?

That is my thought too Pra2. I will be looking to buy.

Some "scalpers" set up their own place called rocket trade... I think. The ex-head trader from MB set it up, and he gave me some information about it, but I have no idea where it is... Don't know fees or much of anything. I was told their whole firm is (was?) based on getting the best data...

In my opinion you are doing the right thing. In addition, you may want to look into some of the offerings at the New York Institute of Finance.

Hitman I think YOU know what you should do. The suggestion of the CFA program or something similar may not be for you. But I have this "crazy" feeling you should maybe look into "some" type of formal education while you trade. While it seems others do not believe strongly in its value (are...

So are you saying he couldn't sit for the CFA? To put it simply. It wouldn't be hard for him to structure his trading "corporation" or business to do and sit for WHAT ever he wants. Remember he would not be sitting for it tomorrow, and he is an employee (member) at a firm. "And what is the...

Well I disagree too. :) Who said anything about only 3 tests? One of Hitman's first criterions was fundamental analysis. Quote: "Another hit against it is that it is gear towards fundamental analysis. You know all those analysts we love to make fun of? Blodget, Abby Cohen, etc...

As previously mentioned. Go for a CFA. It solves all if your issues (doubts), and you can study on your own time. Plus, like it or not, you will get something out of it to fall back on. A CFA has a lot of pull on a resume. It will be difficult without "some" background in corporate finance, but...

OT: Well it looks like someone has to get off his or her arse and do something. I do some consultancy work with organizations that feel that they are being suppressed. You all sound just like they do... My answer to them is to; "Do something about it." Yapping here isn't going to get...

Well, I will soon be closing my IB account because of this. I was all excited about the 4 to 1 margin, and spent hours upon hours "re-vamping" my trading (business plan), and I have been paper trading 4 to 1 (in addition) for some time now. I really love my IB account (never complain), but I...

First I would like to say "good post." Now I will add a correction to part (only because it is important), and My trading "lives and dies" [lives ;)] by statistics; so just in case someone is looking to do an evaluation the correct SD's are: 1 Standard Deviation (68.26%) 2 Standard...

I agree, At first it will be a wind fall of profits, but soon after going short will be just like going long. Small gain at most.

If you don't mind me asking, What firm do you trade through? I ask because I am interested in trying to "program" what I do. (What I do is pretty simple, but has a few steps in deciding when to enter and exit a trade, but I involve not emotional decisions) Thanks

It has been over a year since I have traded any of the QQQ. As I remeber, Amex required that all NON-enc trades had to be full lots (100), but I am always open for enlightenment. As for the island book anything goes as usual.

All holders are full lot only.

I am not sure if this is a trick question, but I believe that you just type in QQQ or SPY...

Mine also works with the differnet voltages. Best bet is to CALL Sony and ask. That is what I did (IBM).

With jme2 (JAVA) it will be possible for streaming data. One co. that is developing it is Hillcast; in Austin, TX.
