This is a great idea! Bungrider, we trade very similarly and I would really like to get a chat rm like this open...count me in! Best regards, Air aka Jim

Let me address the recruitment issue first. Bright Trading spends much more class time discussing *professional trading* as opposed to *Bright* professional trading. IOW, you'll have a pretty complete picture that shows you what trading professionally is all about, not only at Bright but...

I'll be happy to help...what do you want to know?

Hi all... If you are going to Bright Trading In Las Vegas this summer for their course and live reasonably close (like within a state or so) to southern Michigan, we should probably talk. I'm going to drive out there this summer and will have room for a passenger, with whom I'll share...

Mucho mahalos! I'll give it a try today... Best, Jim

That is just great! Here's best wishes to you Don, for a fast recovery. Jim PS Mark, thanks for the update!

Sure, trading is a little more difficult now. I find that I'm taking profits much earlier than before...nowdays, I'll take 15 cents and thankfully get out. Jim

but maybe I can help. Contact Echo now and get the paperwork in motion to join their firm...they'll sponsor you for the exam. As far as study materials, the free web site mentioned earlier in this thread looks great. Echo will be able to recommend other study materials and probably...

Blink, Have to ask...what's *your* agenda?

Ssigma... I'm not sure about that...They seem pretty cheap to me but let me explain... I trade NYSE only and I pay ~a penny a share...At the 1000 share level, they are marginally more expensive than IB, my other broker. But so far (this is VERY preliminary. Don't change brokers based on...

Thanks Hans! I appreciate your help on this. Other than the hot key thing, I like the software for its ease...it seems to get the job done very well...and with hot keys can be even faster. Again, thanks much! Jim

I'm taking a short vacation from InteractiveBrokers while they take care of a few challenges they seem to be having and thought I would try out Point Direx and their Platinum trading platform. Is anyone here at ET using Platinum *and* hot keys for trading NYSE issues (as opposed to using the...

Recent book? IMO, the best "recent" book is STUDIES IN TAPE TRADING by Rollo Tape. It was published in the early 1900's. :D Best, Jim

just had a piece this month about NYSE Open Book...to boil it down to a word or two, "ho hum" would do it. Still, I would really like to take a look at it and see what edge it might give me, if any. Jim

nljones5, You and I are very similar regarding age and background. I'm 52 and have been actively learning about short term trading for about a year and a half. I got started in the Reagan 80's and the crash of 1987 was what gave me the clue that "buy and hold" isn't all it is cracked up to...

I'll see your 2/11'ths and raise you a tenth.:cool:

This is in addition to my post earlier... I had an encounter with IB's customer service/support about a month ago...I tried to close out a position that was going against me. I couldn't get the software to confirm that my order had been received and ended up on "hold" with IB for about 20...

I have to agree 100%! The PD software is just awesome...it has capabilities that I didn't know existed. Give it a try yourself...also, as Shadoe wrote, I don't work for PD, blah, blah, yada, yada. :) Jim

I'm just opening up another account (at PD)...I'm still going to trade w/ IB just not as much.

PMJI. you may find some of the information in the thread "Don's Openings,, pt 2" quite helpful. Jim
