no worries about haircut fee garbage for stocks or options, that's pretty self explanatory. just wanted clarification on prop trades regarding bid/ask.

yes, don't worry about haircut fees stuff (i understand how haircuts work with prop traders from previous posts). i just wanted to know if prop trader could act like a market maker making two sided market even tho prop traders are not market makers themselves. that was all i needed..........very...

cool, thanks. i thought so. haircut fees associated with prop trades made me sense that. that's cool stuff.

prop traders are just like retail traders where they buy at ask and sell at bid, correct? sorry, just making sure since prop traders pay fees on haircuts. since haircuts are used by market makers/specialists, this makes me think a prop trader could possibly trade like a market maker since they...

GM? hmmmm. weirdest stuff going on with that company. i used to help GM employees with their health benefits, it wasn't a pretty picture. retirees losing their benefits, salaried employees benefits cost increase while coverage decreased. piece of crap health insurance plans. glad i never...

howdy folks didn't know i was gonna create so much conversation, lol. anyway, just want to use options for hedging, not solely trade options. i like trading options, but if i start trading stocks, i gotta have options for protection, that's all. i would rather trade stocks since they trade...

Hey Mr Don Does Bright allow options trading along with stock trading? I believe I never rec'd a response on that one. Thanks.

hey trackready try spread daytrading. since u have some money, leg in whichever way the stock is moving to profit (if ur broker allows naked legs, go for it, if not, leg in long leg first, then short leg second). then when stock is moving in other direction, leg in the other leg (u get more for...

Becky is pretty fine ain't she? Hubba hubba!!!!

jmowery do u trade earnings? wait until earnings day and then trade in direction stock gapped, usually works? also, u watch cramer? he moves stocks, BIG TIME!!!!! as long as he mentions them, it goes either way. i don't buy on his recommendations, i just watch and wait for stock to move for...

hey mowery dan zangar is a chartist. i visit his website regularly, pretty cool stuff. it's chartpattern.com if anybody is interested.

trading one bread and butter stock is better to do than chasing different stocks which i already knew, but the pro trader course cofirmed it. mine is TIE, gettin to know the stock real well.

also, try the metals stocks like TIE, RTI, PCU, ATI, etc. TIE moves about $5 a day right now, a golden nugget for any daytrader. it moves pretty much in one direction during the day with a few exceptions of course just like any other stock. the stock usually has one major trend all day long...

i'm not really afraid to trade since i have been doing it awhile with options and know technicals, which is all i use. fundamentals can go suck it for all i care. just curious as to what strategies the prop firms want you to use mainly. all i care about is shorting and/or buying stock and...

thanks jmowery and steve. i have never daytraded stocks for a living since i mainly trade stock options, so it would be a little different for me to just trade stocks. i've posted somewhere asking if prop firms let you short as well as long. as you can see, totally new to the prop firm world, so...

so, i'm wondering what type of trading strategies will Bright let you do? does Bright let you short as well as buy? as you can see, i have no idea about prop firms, so i want to know of them before i join, maybe mr bright will ring in and let us know, thanks.

On average, what does a good prop trader make for the day?

Um okay, there is enough volatiity in the stock market. Look at the metal stocks right now. Every stock is basically volatile at the moment due to current minor correction. Average daily ranges are $5, good enough to make some nice cash. But what do I know. Of course, I have never traded for...

Mr Bright You have made BT sound like a great firm to trade with. Just curious if BT allows options trading (all I want to do is spreads/long option positions plus shorting/buying stock, simple strategies). If your firm allows spread trading, I will be with your firm shortly. Scrounging up that...
