A lot of people do NASDAQ/NYSE/Emini opening 2 hrs swing trading or scalping. 8pm - 10pm SGT. Just nice, after work, before bed time. :D

Are there even enough traders for prop firm to survive? All the retail traders I know have day job or trading casually once a day. Singapore, being the "kiasu" place it is, has few people looking to be a full time trader. Even those from Poly/Uni finance courses who have the "dream" of...

Okkie dokkie, I guess that counts me out. By the way, what so infamous about Swift Trade? I guess that means direct access trading thru an ECN from home is still the best choice...

Canada...hmmm. I think I know which one. I pm u.

Hmmm we have prop firms in Singapore? :eek: Mind recommending a few? I'm considering joining a prop firm to day trade NASDAQ. Didn't know our finance sector is developed enough to have such firms here! (our finance sector is pretty screwed up lol)

Excellent! Good to finally see other Singaporeans around. Johncool, are you a full timer?

I notice a few other Singaporeans posting around here. Want to make yourselves known to other Singapore traders? :D

Hmmmm.... I graduated from High School and was given the choice of College/University or Trading. I chose Trading out of interest and never looked back. One should never consider failure first when it comes to chasing your goals. Why chase goals unless you are sure of success? In fact...

Hmmm do we actually need to give them our address? Or they email you the chapters?

Thanks guys,for the excellent comments and intro!

Oh and for your information, the books which my mom + everyone else is claiming to be lies happen to be : Reminiscenes, Market Wizards, New Market Wizards, Van K. Tharp's Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom, Pit Bull. As you can see, I have very very selectively taste when it comes to...

Yes, I agree that way too much people get caught up in the "rat races". I am one of those rare youth who thinks there is more to life than slogging away @ maximum hours for minimum wages. Unfortunately, I have yet to meet a youth locally who is willing to sacrifice a "effort free" life of...

Thanks guys for all the encouraging replies. To tell you the truth, I was half expecting "stfu noob" lol. As you all know from my originating post, I live in Singapore. I confirm everything that has been posted here about my country. NO JOKE! You guys scared me;I would never ever expect...

The funny thing is...was it an "error" in the first place? Or was it a deliberate attempt to hit client's stops and rake in cash? If the price spike was an "error", was the price corrected on the charts provided? Was all client's position refunded? (or do they each have to manaully phone...

"The Complete Guide to the Futures Markets - Jack D. Schwager" Perhaps its a bit of shameless self advertising but in his "The New Market Wizards" page 336-337, Mark Ritchie said he would advise any would-be traders to read this book and digest half of it before even considering. I don't...

There are people trading in Singapore (SGX,SIME..etc) and some who are in the financial world (businessmen) are "in the know". The general public (80%? I dare say) have no clue besides the general misconception: trading = gambling.

First, I live on an island call Singapore where everyone's mindset is pretty much : trading = gambling. Next, I'm 20 yrs old...young, very very young. Combine these two together plus the fact that I have decided to make trading my future career and you'll get a person who will not be taken...

IMHO its a perverted version of Options which is closer to gambling than trading.

First of all, thanks guys, for taking the time to contribute;Especially TSOKAKIS, who posted details! nononsense, isn't there anyone who trades profitably with commonplace indicators? I read one post over at MoneyTec by this guy who reveals that he trades profitably using CCI crossovers...

Anyone actually developed and using their own, home made, indicators? Or is that the norm around here? From several posters here and over at MoneyTec I have gotten this impression that the more popular ("public") ones generally aren't profitable? (The "if it was so easy everyone would be...
