I was just wondering if daytrading (stocks) full time during a recession is a viable way to make a living. My main concern would be the level of volatility and volume during a recession. Maybe longtime traders like rs7 or Don Bright who post here on ET could give some insight into this. Thanks.

I had used them briefly a couple of years ago and I was charged $11/RT. Execution was fair but their software at that time was a little buggy. Could have improved by now. $14/RT though during this time does seem pricey considering the current competition.

I have asked that same question a few pages back but can't seem to be able to get a reply. Seems like everyone is too busy patting themselves on the back. :confused:

What exactly did Vito and Jeff mean when they say "proprietary trading tools at VB"? Does this refer to software or trading strategies or something else? Thanks.

Bruce Springsteen :cool:

AllenZ Which vehicle do you actually trade - the Qs or the e-minis? I have noticed that the calls you make in your room are for the Qs.

Thunder and Lightning don't even make .1% off trading because they DO NOT TRADE. They only make calls. Now if they are such great traders (Lightning allegedly made calls resulting in a profit of 29 points today and as far as I can remember they never had a losing day), why bother with a...

Allen, I have never traded the QQQs and have a quick question for you - do the Qs lag the futures or is it also a leading indicator for stocks? Also, does the uptick rule apply for the Qs? Thanks.

try www.nextrend.com Data is reliable and fees are reasonable. In fact their charts look a lot like QQL charts.

Try a memory management software like memturbo (www.memturbo.com). Installed it and never had any RAM problems ever since.

1% property tax here in NV. As far as the heat here in LV is concerned, I will do my best to stay indoors and just crank up my a/c a bit during summer.:cool:

I just moved from CA (Los Angeles) to Las Vegas and can tell you that the move was well worth it from a state income tax perpective. It is more money in my pocket and in my personal situation, the cost of living here is a lot less than where I moved from. My wife and I get to keep the...

Maybe time to turn this into a long term INVESTMENT? :cool:

Thanks for your reply Seanote. Judging from your results, looks like it's a great program. :cool:

I seriously suggest you do your own research and not expect anyone to spoon feed you information. There are a lot of people here willing to help, but only after you try helping yourself first.

Is the program commercially available and is there a name for it?

Seanote Would you be willing to tell us what kind of screening tool/software you use to look for trade candidates? Thanks.

uptik I had the same experience with Echo not responding to my inquiries so I can assure you that doco and CA are not tossing mud on this issue. I was able to finally get through to Rob and another officer of Echo also emailed me so I will seriously consider them when they finally open their...
