The "Understanding W.D. Gann Techniques" lecture looks interesting...

I had a great time last night getting to know you all. I didn't expect such diversity in trading strategies and backgrounds! Looking forward to future meetings.

ditto

Count me in.

Sounds interesting...I was in that area just last night, looks like a good spot.

Anyone have a list of prop firms who allow you to trade the regional exchanges? Thanks.

99% discretionary, 1% mechanical (I need to blame my losses on something) :D

True

exactly...I'm a high vol. trader only because it's my style not because of the firm; but when doing high vol. (3-4M+), commission is everything. I traded with a firm at .01 scaled down to .0075 and didn't make much. Found out later you can easily get .005 (prop or retail) at other firms.

Can you use your Level II for NYSE stock (ie, isld, arca, nyse, regionals)?

Stand up and be counted...this poll is to determine how many Christian traders are on elitetrader.

my argument with all these courses, programs, informercials, etc. is that if it REALLY is that easy, foolproof, profitable and all the other hype--then why don't they just hire teams of traders to trade? Infomercials, advertising, hotel conferences all cost a great deal of money and involve risk.

I had the same problem (nyse filtering) and its been fixed. tech support was awesome. the problem was with Tradestation 2000i unchecking the regional collection checkbox in the global settings of the data manager.

I don't understand all this complaining re specialist's tricks...if you keep getting taken by a specialist then don't trade with him or even their firm if their style comes from the top down. do your homework. trade with different specs till you find one that you can make money with. or do this...
