keep it coming...for a guy who said he didnt want to screw with me any more, i sure have gotten under your skin somehow. for those who want a translation...he said "wow man, i am really sorry for being so difficult. i read you other posts iand as it turns out you are a really nice guy. i...

right...i understand the innate advantages and disadvantages... maybe i should ask another way... " of those people who have traded both...do you prefer commodities and why?" i think i would mainly be looking at interest rates, S&Ps, Dows, becuse i understand it more. I would not deal...

holy cow! trader pro is the man! How do you check the orders?

its not me! but if you are asking in general (cant tell if you are joking or not)...i think he does about 7 to 6 monday to friday. It is not the hours it is his aptitude. He has been with the same company for 7 years, and according to his team, he has never made a mistake on a customer order...

Hi guys. I have been trading on and off part time (i quit for a few years due to work and using the capital to start a business) for about 5 years. I mostly swing trade equities. Have not really dabbled in anything else other than a few options here or there to hedge positions. I have to...

haha..we both caught that at the same time.

actually, i think i am wrong....if you are dealing with an electronic order book or execution, it is different.... My experience is only voice brokered markets.

i am curious how big a trade it was and with what instument. normally only big players do things like this. the most common bust goes something like this (in debt markets at least): 1. big orderflow comes in and there is a lots of noise on the trading floor. 2. trader gets a customer order...

i believe there are povisions for "fat finger" mistakes and the like. dont know the exact rules. If you bust it right away, and dont have a history of busting all of your bad trades...you can get away with it.

if you got out of the trade right away, you may try to call the broker to try to make a deal. If you are a decent customer, with a decent history, sometimes they will throw you a bone to keep your business. just be a nice guy and talk to them...being an ass about it rarely work i find (i have...

i think i figured it out...those are stock symbols and you are refering to their charts in january 2004 as a similar pattern?

wha? dont speak freeky deeky dutch...throw me a bone! i think i am about to learn something...what does that mean?

great posts here. i am young, and have only had 2 homes...one was inherited. so i am no expert....BUT There is a pretty huge supply of homes on the market right now...single family. It would be risky to do the fixer upper. that market is REALLY flooded. but it has been good the last 10...

Dave, This is a great time to TAKE A WEEK OFF!!!! dont try to fight the market on monday and make it back...you will lose again. Take this week, go back over ALL your trades, revamp you plan and money management, CLEAR YOU HEAD...dont watch the market this week (becuse you will be...

To clarify.....i woud LIKE to swing trade. 3 day positions minimum. 4% doesnt sound too bad...but that will definately involve small trade sizes to keep under 1% risk per trade. I have actually thinking about a transition to commodoties...or any market that is not as squirrley and...

thanks for the invite...tried to send you a note...it didnt allow PM. I work during the day so dont know if i would be able to log on. Is it one of the ET forums that we can review afterwards? thanks!

it was option expiration today correct? i forget, dont trade options. that would have been a contributing factor.

hi guys. i have been pretty good at picking direction of my stocks so far...but i think i am screwing up on my stops. it get stopped out all the time, and as a result i need a better formula for my stops. right now i have a $60k account each position is $10k, regrdless of the price of the...

agree 100%. if you trade, make sure it is with a company that is paying a good salary. there are plenty. east coast, florida, cali, texas. look at sales trader jobs as well. get to know people...sales is a great way to do that. If it makes you feel any better...the guy that runs the EM...
