on those amex stocks you ever get hit by those amex fees? I was charged a fee by amex for executing a order over 5000 shares, I think that was the size.

lots of fun trading this HAR, but sizing up over 1k was tough.

why do like the amd chip over intel?

Hey Lescor just wondering why your goals of $20k a month or($240k a year) are less then your actual performance last year? I'm a big believer in goals and always try to set them higher as time goes by to push myself.

anyone interested in starting a yuan hedgefund? Here's how it works open an account in China with a bank. Take the dollars people give you to invest and dump it in the bank account in China, of course they will convert it to yuan in your chinese bank account. Then we just sit back kick the...

no, your hand will open doors (or that handcap button if you are lazy)

I wonder how much iq is linked to successfull trading. I guess it would depend on what style of trading you do.It would be interesting to get the IQ results of successfull traders. Someone should do a poll. scalp

do you have anymore info on why the went under?

best trading book ever written. I wish they would make a movie out of it. scalp

it seems like the rumor on the street for the last 3 years is hold bros is going under. somehow they never do. It doesn't surprize me that these rumors continue. Probably somebody trying to bash another firm or steal traders. I have no association with h. bros, just an observation scalp

back in the days of selectnet and mm's backing away i could see the big difference between using a mm id or and an ecn. These days with super montage and auto ex I don't see a difference. Most of the ecn's have decrements and hidden sizes like you can do with mm id's. The only thing I can...

MM's use ecns just as retail, prop or any other trader. Market makers controling a particular stock is an idea of the past. It doesn't work that way these days. The answer to your question is yes one guy is usually responsible for a stock at a 'market making' house but he does less volume then...

if you trade a lot of shares this sec fee adds up. this sux....

you've learned a good lesson here. Buy the rumor sell the news. Many times when companies have good earnings people hear rumors before and buy early. When the news hits the street they sell and take profits. This is a simplistic answer but you get the idea. lesson #2 don't trade based on what...

the prop system was born out of the late 90's internet boom when everyone wanted to trade, but not everyone had the money or know how. Most of the sheep types that got into trading because they had a friend who made a grand in one day have been fleeced and are gone. You still have a rotating...

does this mean you are looking for more stability? If so I would argue working in the corporate world transfers the responsibility from you to them. If you trust yourself to be stable then focus on your own development and do your thing. If you trust someone else ie. the corporate machine and...

a prop trader with 5 years plue experience is worth thier weight in gold to a buyside firm. Using a good prop trader would probably save them millions over the course of a year, but don't tell them that because the guys who are still trading enjoyi taking easy money. If you get a talented prop...

bruts technology sucks, they are not after that. They want bruts volume; this is a systematic way to get volume and eliminate competition. Bottom line is ECN competition produces lower fees for the end user. The nasdaq/(notso)supermontage is basically an ecn and they want all the volume...
