    Is Trading Right for Me or Should I Stick with Poker?

    I guess you have no clue about poker. To the OP, I, like a few other traders here made the transition. I didn't make as much as you do playing poker because I couldn't build a large enough bankroll because of all my expenses (university, car, rent, etc). Though I averaged 50/hour at the...

    Trader lifestyle

    Cutten, that's exactly how I feel about buying a car too. My friends don't think I make much money because I drive a mediocre car while they drive 40-50K cars on a 40-50K salary. Have fun spending the next 5-10 years paying for it... lol. As much as I'd like to splurge, I don't know what next...

    Opening Orders - 2008

    1. Percentages are meaningless here. You need high leverage to do this strategy and is usually only done at prop firms. When trading prop only absolute dollar gains/losses count. Unless you want to think prop guys who put down 5K and make 250K a year are making 5000% returns. Hmm.. what about...

    Am I fit for a PROP job?

    Ya, don't worry about that 50 dollar stop. When I was a trainee (not at swift but similar) rarely would I ever hit my stop trading with 100 shares. Now I trade on average 2000 shares per clip (20x as much) and have only a few times this year been over -500 (10x) at any point in a day. When...

    Doh... I forgot about that issue. I never really thought about it because my Acer was 3 pounds and was easy to carry around.

    are thinkpads still the best?

    Are the new thinkpads still considered the best in terms of reliability and build quality? I hear Dell is giving them a run for their money now. And some say thinkpads aren't what they used to be. I was looking at this model http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php?module=detail&id=436995...
