    Why successful traders chose to work for prop firms?

    Some might have enough, but with maxing out an individual k every year, paying the mortage and other investments in general I think it would be a poor idea to trade ones own money. I trade with 2 million bp every day which means I would have to put up $500,000 to get that bp through retail. I...

    Who is the most worthless on CNBC? I vote Bob Pisani

    I would have to go with Dennis Neale, with Jack I never made a trade in my life Bouroudjian a close second. It's amazing that cnbc has people employed that are worse than Kudlow.

    Rick Santelli just went off

    Goofy Dennis Kneale surely can't be as dumb as he sounds. I think cnbc hired him to simply be bizarro kudlow during the day.

    A must watch video, Obama's radical tax plan...

    100% correct. Liberals just don't get this fact. Liberal politicians do get it but they know the people who vote for them love hearing this nonsense. They eat it up. Barack Obama is going to CHANGE the world. LOL.

    Rick Santelli just went off

    I would watch it too. Unfortunately Rick is a little too smart for cnbc's audience.

    What's wrong with GS?

    Santelli spoke about gs and c's dissapointing auctions of some securities. I don't know the names of the securities but I think Santelli spoke about it between the 2-3:00 est time slot today. He basically said that their stock charts over the last few days represent the bad auctions they have had.

    Here comes Charlie Gasparino!...

    About time they get their due. Cnbc pimps bullish fund managers 24/7.

    which broker has fastest quotefeed?

    Prince, Mirus futures and Amp futures offer it. A few others probably do as well.

    which broker has fastest quotefeed?

    zen fire has the fastest es quote I have seen. I have tested esignal, tradestation, reuters, dtn, transact, cqg etc and can't find anything better. Really the only ones I haven't tested are the real expensive ones found on low-latency.com website such as essex-radez and vhayu.

    Whoa... Did the Market Just Call BULLSHIT on Bennie and the Fed?

    Cramer also put that top in. Too funny the man truly is the biggest putz on the planet.

    Recession or not?, it doesn't matter, with no uptick rule, market plunges the same?

    With no downtick rule when buying, the market explodes the same as a booming economy. Both statements are idiotic.

    How I beat my broker, so they can't front run me.

    Orders are transmitted in milliseconds. Sometimes thousands of orders are placed, cancelled, and moved up from one account in very short periods of time. Software will reject orders if there is not enough bp, not some little margin clerk monitoring 500 black boxes.

    why most traders are LIARS?

    Go to any prop daytrading floor. You will see all types of traders. There will be a few who make $20,000 plus before lunch. There will be the ones who try to make their $1000-$2000 in a day, and there will be losers, beginners, and crybabys. I have no doubt there are liars on this board but...

    I never saw volatility like this

    These markets are very volatile, but they still are not at the level during the late 90's-2002 time period. Back then there were stocks like sdli,brcm,pmcs that would have 30-70 point range evry day. I also agree with Austinp markets are harder to trade because of the algo bots.

    made 50k+ today

    I agree 100%. When do you guys think $50,000 is possible? I havent called the guys at my office but I know considering a couple of them are up over $100,000 this month already that they probably had monster days today. Absolutely doable on a day where the sp futures had a 70 point range.

    Cramer harrassing guests...

    Funny this thread started. I emailed squawkonthestreet@cnbc.com about Cramer being pathetic for treating Brian Westbury so bad. I shut off the tv in disgust and missed Santelli vs Cramer. I really am starting to despise that little man Cramer and all his lies.

    what was your biggest losing day?

    I have had about 5 or 6 $20,000 loser days. I now keep automated liquidation on my daytrading accounts to ($5000). I don't have the up $30,000 days anymore but net net its a plus avoiding the big down days while still being able to have the occasional large winning day.
