+1... I will add to this idea more in relation with the PS statement... always have an exit plan... I did exactly what surf said, but what I lacked was an exit strategy... what valuation do you call stupid that some is willing to pay for in a short span of 5 years? 7x acquisition cost...

d00d... GS has $9b in equity for their prop desks last time I checked... I dont know of a single prop house that has that much... you should not compare apples to oranges.... and if you are still insisting, then you do not understand the risk they need to calculate... read about VaR on google books.

they would have to put up more capital and bear your overnight risk, which I don't see why they would do given it would require them to manage that risk like hawks (and try to offset it as well)... they are in the business of making money while reducing their risks... so ideally, flat or...

nothing to do with edge.... it has more to do with reliability... wireless is more prone to issues with at times forcing you to reconnect, it happens... while not often, all you need is for that to happen when you are scalping 10+ lots on DAX or TF and your stop is not met because your stop...

depends on your timeframe... if you are scalping or trading minute/tick bars... or "day trading" ... stick with wired trading... otherwise, cisco(aka linksys) and netgear are good...

perf is relevant and dependent on your trans size (from app perspective) .. i've used all three.. intel can have issues too.. i keep mine for 3 years mostly...

Are you sure you clearing through RJO and not TRAD? they became an FCM last year I think... and yes, RJO is pretty good... I like their reports for grains they put out (anther point of view per say)... when in doubt, ask RJO to create a subledger account tied to CQGIC... executions are faster...

I understand that, but to be honest TRAD is not the best broker out there, nor is their platform the best... they only started updating it over the past year or two, before that it was a worse dog... most people are used to TradeStation and EL... which is why they have a large following... but...

he is probably spreading softs, brent and gasoil... anyhow, the issue you are facing might have little to do with the "broker" and more with the charting platform with TRAD(aka Tradestation)... As a CQG user myself, sure.. it can be "expensive", but that is the cost of doing business... in...
