No one cares about the markets anymore. Just last summer I was bombarded with questions at family gatherings, these days we talk about the family. I think most people have lost interest, but there might be enough who haven't, who are waiting for another bounce to pull out. Another fact that...

Good luck with that, unistalling MS products is like doing open heart surgery on yourself, be careful. Make a backup of your hard drive before you do it.

You could also try setting your settings to online all the time or connected to LAN and it won't attempt to dial, it'll just look for an open internet connection. But you would have to logon to your ISP first. Cable modem, it's time for one.

No, you think the guy on my losing trades feels bad, I don't think so. Plus, most of the time it's the specialist, so I could care less, cause I know he's gunning for me.

You have to link the returns for each period. The way you do it is as follows. Everytime you add money, figure out the return for the prior period, by taking your total capital at the end of the period, and dividing by the beginning of the period. Do this for each new period, and then...

The easiest way , is when the S&P futures are up or down around 20 points, most likely at that point the market will have a bounce. But of course, they could go down 30, so you would need balls to hang on, but you'd be taking huge risk!!! Otherwise, there's no simple way.

Realistically with proper training you can be doing around 100K a year, in your second year. The learning curve these days for a newbie is about 6 - 12 months. After that, the more risk you start to take, with proper risk management, you could get over 200K. To make more then that, you'd have...

Unless he's a moron, I can't imagine he came to us cause our rates are higher. We have a strict rule that commission are not to be discussed. Plus what is their to hide? If you come in, and I give you a rate, and you don't like it, you don't accept. Simple. It's not like we bring in...

If the intention of a poster to post negaive comments is intended to disrupt a board, it should not be allowed. This is why I told both traderxp and hctrader to take a chill pill.

Rates that are given to our guys are confidential because every trader, depending on skill has a different rate schedule. Most prop firms aren't clear cut as an E-Trade or Datek. It all depends on volume. Plus I have asked our traders not to post, cause it will be construed as advertising...

I would actually like to get this info too. I keep my account in an outside brokerage account only cause I can use stops on NASDAQ.

Now boys, let's get along. Not everyone can love us.

Thanks You.

In the end it all comes down to the strategy or strategies you choose to use to trade. For tape reading I think we can all agree, it's alot easier to read the mind of one, the specialist, rather then the mind of many, the market makers. If your trading based on technical analysis purely, then...

Nitro, you're absolutely right. Only with the NX is it true first come first serve. With market and limit order size would take precedence. With market orders, even if your the first one to market, but several other people follow, if there is not enough size on the bid or offer to fill...

I did this a few years ago. I opened an LP, and everyone who invested got a percentage in the LP. I only allowed contributions/withdrawals monthly, so if someone wanted in or out, it's easier to adjust everyone's % monthly, rather then in different time periods. I had a 1% mgmt fee, and 20%...

They really can't stand in front cause the specialist will eat them alive if they're trying to get in front of you on the wrong side of the trade. It's great to watch the tape at times when someone tries to bully the specialist, and the specialists will just sit there and take it for awhile...

A trainer is supposed to train you in the morning, night or both. During the day, the trainer should be letting you know how things are trading, and what methods are working and not. At times if you have a question about your current position, the trainer should quickly glance at the stock and...

I was referring to stocks that are priced over $10. If you stick to the NYSE quote, they tend to be smaller. Other exchanges don't really matter cause of the low volume and no real liquidity being provided there, that's why the spreads over at the Chicago, Phili, Pacific are that wide. Unlike...

Can someone please explain to me the differenc between the two differemt S&P futures contracts? They seem to have different quotes. Which one do you use, or is better to use to gauge the market?
