    Riding winning positions (intraday)

    I have only been trading for about 5 months, but my method works for me. I ride my winners until it tells me to get out. I enter the trade with about 500 shares, just to test the water. If it goes against me, I can get out fairly easily. If the stock is moving, and showing directional...

    Hurricane Isabel is bearing down ...

    I lived in NC for 25 years and experienced several bad hurricanes. One took my car and dropped two trees on it and left it underwater. Another, killed my beachhouse. All the advice given is the best, esp. beer, ice and water. Short the insurers!! If you have the balls, grab a jetski and go...

    Does anyone think his huge salary could be hush money for misdeeds within the exchange? Just a thought.

    What do you dislike about trading?

    losing money, lack of steady dependable income, no hot chix to flilrt with. I prefer working in a firm with lots of other traders, there is a sense of commeraderie about it.

    Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms?

    Yeah, they are still around, out in Los ALamos. I spoke briefly with on of the math-wiz founders, J. Doyne Farmer. He told me it was still up and running, and last I checked they were still hiring programmers. I believe that in the contract with Swiss Bank, they had to keep a lot of things quiet.

    Is Maria Bartiromo a Dumbass?

    I'm sure she's very intelligent, but she definitely just read what people give her. She's just better to look at than most people in the business. But not as hot as my Frankfurt honey!!

    series seven

    I didn't take the classes b/c I hate formal education, but I got the STC books and the testing CD. If you do that, give it about a month, maybe two.

    no passage of time at the speed of light

    One can say that the passage of time at the speed of light is zero only if one is an observer of that object. The reason for this is that both are relative to each other. If we, traveling at the speed of light, had no frame of reference to judge our speed, we could not judge our time in a...

    Banbing certain types of posters.

    Even being a new guy, reading posts that are hostile isn't conducive the content and goals of this site. I'll be the first to admit that I read and post some silly stuff. Why not? Our jobs are hard enough, and a little humor and lightheartedness can go a long way; but the outright hostility...

    Do you tell people you're a trader?

    When I tell people what I do, I invariably have to explain the difference between a broker and a trader. Does anyone else encounter this? "Are you one of those guys in the coats doing the hand signals?" No, I sit in front of 3 computers for 10 hours slugging coffee and trying to keeping my...

    Trading Is War..Or is it?

    well, of course it would be ludicrous and insulting to directly compare the value of losing life to losing money. however, if we can just see it as an analogy, why would it be so ridiculous to compare the two. we traders are involved in a battle of wit, instinct and courage where the price is...

    Where are most Prop Traders?

    Not that I am aware of. The only time some action was taken was when a guy tried to quietly walk out and take a bunch of traders with him 1: after blowing up, and 2: not even mentioning it to anyone. We do have some contract clauses, but they are only on the spcific OPG trading style that a...
