No, TT does not have inherent problems in it that make this occur in a signifigant manner. I bet your other one wouldn't either, if it was done well. Without knowing what it is, or who runs it, that's a bit of an unfair statement, but that's my opinion. TNG

It definately sounds like a switch back to TT might be in order. As I said before, some software packages are harder to run, and therefore some FCM's have a lot of problems running them. TT is industry standard, and there is a pretty deep talent pool in running it. I'd switch back, the CME...

my 2 cents.... Most trading software (at the proffessional level) is engineered well enough to make any customer happy with the speed. Some have inherent problems that are difficult to overcome, but usually anything set up *perfectly* would do for almost anyone. Again, this is just my...

I've heard some pretty interesting stuff about the seasonal trends of the market. Something about a period in late sept-early october that has never been a negative period on the essnpee. There was a guy posting about it here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. You may want to look at...

That's why I only trade on the weekends. Keeps my PnL pretty level.... :p :p :p I would have guessed Monday is the most volitile, simply because there are three days of news to accumulate for one trading day. Shows what I know! Also I would have assumed Friday was the least, because all...

Thank you for a voice of reason. The envy one really gets me. Always cited to me by people who have never even left the US!!!!. Living in the US from a foreign country I've been continually astounded by the gap between the genuinely nice, caring, compassionate people and what is being...

Use VNC and trade from your home computer. Incidentally, I would take a serious look at why they don't want you to trade from work. They are probably justifiably worried about being accused of something shady. TNG

How much money are you looking for? TNG

you forgot to mention that math is important too! :p :p :p TNG

I think it's because the -%10 do pretty well for themselves, and create the illusion of a lifestyle that we'd all like. TNG

I was about to say "good catch", but the brevity of that post was a dead give away! - The New Guy

Off the top of my head i think you can do what you want through an HTTP tunnel. There are a couple of companies that would let you do that. http://www.http-tunnel.com/html/solutions/http_tunnel/client.asp - The New Guy

Although someone breifly mentioned it, the cost of execution (commission and bid/ask spread) is a far bigger factor than most people think (imho). Sure, the system outlined above can break even theoretically, but factor in coms and the spread and see how dramatically it changes. Of course, if...

haha I didn't mean to make you feel silly, I know how tempting it is to post for the easy answers. I do think however that you will be surprised at what you'll learn from reading the journals front to back (maybe a few times?) and how much it will help you if you intend to trade this system...

This is taken from the first page of the first journal: "Currently, my ‘Final Universe’ contains 32 stocks. When a stock appears in my daily Hotlist NOT appearing in my Final Universe, I add that stock to the Final Universe list for daily evaluating. When a stock loses its ‘rank’ (by...

I have no idea, but I'm sure there is a way it could be done. To me, it just seems silly to limit how many positions someone can close per day in an attempt at protecting them. I think the focus should be on limiting them from opening positions instead. Anyway, I support changing it, but I...

Riskarb, I value your opinion so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts further on this. I understand that is the intention of the rule, but I don't believe that is what it is acomplishing. If that was their true intent, why would they make it so you can put on as many trades as you want in...

While I agree that not being capitilized adequately is a huge factor in traders failing, does the PDT rule really prevent this from happening? Traders are going to try to trade anyway, and further restrictions being placed on them are just yet another handicap they have to deal with...

nvm, just chewed right through it... - The New Guy
