    Help: Intraday Trading Range Scanning

    Thanx Jperl...I am trying out Investertechs 30 day trial. I have been looking around the site and it appears worth the money. I have been using http://www.marketscreen.com But I might switch over to ivestertech if it can perform the same daily screens I usually do. I think marketscreen is a...

    I only trade NYSE. As for my style...it changes all the time. I have only been trading 15 months and I learn something everyday. When I first started trading I was more news focused. Then I became more technical... trying to analyze patterns and levels. Now I find myself bringing everything...

    Any worldco traders here?

    I don't think Worldco will be opening an office in Michigan soon. These sites are not randomly picked. They are places that Senior traders have offered to start up and manage. For example the firm in Boca Raton was started by a few senior traders that wanted to move to Florida. Another Senior...

    "Personally I have never met a "successful" trader who is very boastful. But characters come in all shapes and sizes, and apparently we have a few characters on this board. Just my two cents."

    Any worldco traders here?

    Ther is no desk-fee at Worldco...Self-Clearing means that they process all their own paperwork and hold all their records. There is also a capital requirement. The biggest cost of a clearing firm such as Bear Stearns Clearing or U.S Clearing is the overhead associated with paperwork and record...

    July Trading Journals

    What the f%@# is going on, on this board. Is the puropose of this board to antogonize others and pat yourself on the back? Personally I come to this board to share ideas.

    Any worldco traders here?

    Patrick, A very large percentage of Worldco traders are foreign-born. We probably have people from most countries. The guy I sit next to is from Poland..another from China. So I don't think it would be too much of a problem. Here is the contact information located from there Monster.com ad...

    Series 7 exam

    http://www.stcusa.com STC is the BEST. DO NOT try to learn everything in the book. FOCUS on the tests. Take each test once and circle the answeres you do not know, and bring these study sheets everywhere with you and read them over and over. Then take them again. When you get 90's on all the...

    Any worldco traders here?

    If worldco offered you a prop position, you should work for them. If you have no experience, I do not recommend raising your own money, only to lose it. And you will lose it. 98% of traders lose money for a few months. Why not lose Worldco's money. Plus you can NOT trade without some serious...

    Any worldco traders here?

    It is a case by case basis. If you have a good resume or the boss likes you, maybe nothing. From the people I know it is usually between 1,000 and 7,000. But it really depends on you. I know one kid from Yale who didn't have to bring anything in. I also know a guy who started when he was 30...

    Any worldco traders here?

    I work at Worldco, and I believe Hitman does also. The Boca Raton office is relatively new (maybe 6 months), but it is run by a very good trader. As far as training..you will learn by sitting next to an experienced trader. But most of all the best way to learn is to trade. You will start trading...

    Is it worth watching NAZ futures if trading QQQ?

    You should watch the Futures to trade the trust. If you don't you will be at a disadvantage. The QQQ is the Nasdaq 100 trust. Which means it is concurrent with the NDX (the Nasdaq 100 Index). What we call the Nasdaq Futures are actually the Nasdaq 100 Futures(there is no futures contract for...
