    Short-selling faces clampdown by SEC

    uhhh....better find out who has the cheapest bullet rates. companies are pissed because short sellers prevent their stock prices from staying at an ARTIFICIALLY high level (because a fair market didn't determine it's price), so they give big money to politicians, who then pressure the SEC...

    bonds looking very toppy short term

    reversal, up near that cluster of resistance, and 3 other short term highs. it'll take a lot of energy to get it through there. worst case seems like a consolidation, before going higher. regardless, it's a good risk reward play. is there any way to play this directly through a stock symbol...

    do any prop firms have mutual fund trading?

    well, i have a short term, consistent timing strategy worth 30% a year. this means i would need a million, in cash, since you cannot buy mutual funds on margin (at least not at datek/ameritrade. please correct me if you can do this elsewhere). i've been trading a year, so could maybe come up...

    do any prop firms have mutual fund trading?

    would appreciate it. you can't even trade mutual funds on margin in your brokerage account. SLK, aka redi, does not have this feature.

    Protrader & Gr8trade...

    an elitetrader search. i wrote some stuff on it. the biggest complaint seems to be the 'slowness,' but that should change when they change their datafeed to get it from the exchange itself, which is also where they will get openbook, indications, and imbalances from. i work at ETG and we are...

    Protrader & Gr8trade...

    do a search. there's plenty on it, including the updates that should be out imminently. until they come out with the updates, i wouldn't trade on it, but afterwards, it should be a good to very good platform.

    What is the best deal out there??

    just a guess, but with all these PMs and posts, it's probable that andover traders get some sort of referral fee, or commission cut, for recruiting people from other firms. it's not andover management on here recruiting people.

    100,000 shares at a time ?

    ok...in terms of the opening print, why don't you look at the average opening print over the last 10 days or so, and maybe try to keep your order to say 20% of that. obviously, if there is news, you could stretch that. if you put too much volume in, then you're just hurting yourself, since it's...

    100,000 shares at a time ?

    no need to get defensive. just saw the conflicting posts and asked a simple, not threatening question. that's a lot of volume and you've been a member here for two years and don't have any posts with any substance, so just asked. also, if someone is a bigger trader than i, what's wrong with...

    100,000 shares at a time ?

    was wondering if you could explain this. since you said you trade 75k shares at a clip, i did a search for your posts to see if there is are any insights, and i came across these two.

    100,000 shares at a time ?

    13,000. since prop traders don't get 100% of their profits, in order to make it worth it, you have to expoit the one major advantage of trading prop - unlimited buying power. i'm constantly trying to exploit that advantage, pressing size and recently began selling a few naked options, and plan...

    Gr8trade vs. REDI+

    to update: SLK took on both the buy and the sell, putting me flat on the position. it's not the 500 profit i could've had, but i'll definitely take it over the loss of 500. at least they did the right thing there, for me anyway.

    Gr8trade vs. REDI+

    i just wanted to point out that redi+ had yet another major outage today. at one point i had 13 orders that i didn't know the status of, this for over an hour. i had 4k in my account, which turned out to be inaccurate. a separate order for 3000 shares, which i got a fill on.......an hour later...
