    Like in Slumdog Millionaire, brokers tip you the wrong answer on purpose

    ok, i guess guys blowing out 10K accounts are making brokers more money than profitable guys who actively trade millions of shares a month..... got me there we're talking about retail accounts here. i don't think madoff and MMs are calling brokers to ask for trading advice

    Good Remote AND Automated Trading Prop Firms?

    I use Sterling. Their website provides examples for VB6.0, VB.NET and VC. It's enough to get your started and do most of the things you'll probably need. But it's not very well coded so you'll need to take a lot of time sifting through it and testing everything out. Check out this thread...

    Good Remote AND Automated Trading Prop Firms?

    I have one overclocked computer scanning 1000 stocks looking for setups (handles 10000 quotes/sec). If it finds something interesting it sends that info to my other computer using another account for further monitoring and trade execution. That way I'll be looking at only a few symbols with no...

    Like in Slumdog Millionaire, brokers tip you the wrong answer on purpose

    God you're stupid. Who do you think makes more trades - losing traders or winning traders? Do you think guys doing 10 million shares a month are losing or winning?

    how should i know what stocks to trade...

    Maybe if you tell us more about your strategy we could help. You have a strategy right? As for me, only stocks that do more than 500K volume, average spread < 0.03 and have on average movement of more than 1 cent a minute. That gives me both good movement and reduced slippage. I feel like...

    Could really use some advice please

    I mean no disrespect, but you need to man the fuck up. If you have positive expectancy than you have to trade it no matter what. I often lose hundreds in the last hour which bugs me but I don't turn off my ATS because I know at the end of the month I'll still have positive expectancy that...

    Sterling API Developer Thread

    I fixed my stp order problem. I did a clean install of XP and reinstalled sterling and the problem is gone. Weird thing is, I backed up my sterling directory before the format and just copied to and overwrote all the files in the new version. So there wasn't really any difference in files. And...

    Is it really that hard to make money the first year in trading?

    It was just luck. I was fooled by randomness. I knew absolutely nothing then. It's not a knock on you, but it's easy to think you knew which direction the market was going but to place a trade and make money on it is a totally different thing. Yes you could have taken 500 shares for a dollar...

    Is it really that hard to make money the first year in trading?

    I made money the first 3 days I traded at a prop firm (not sim). I thought I was a super star. I didn't take home my first pay check til almost a year later.... Had to spend a few of those profitable months making back all the losses to get in the green. Had 8 losing months in a row before...
