I have a few I keep a close eye on, and I use scanners/filters also... average position size? probably around 5000 shares i think... I've never gone over 50k, and I think trading under 1000 shares is a waste of time (since I am taking small profits most of the time...) have a great...

i'm scalping, so I like getting in big as quickly as possible... i find it best to just jump in other wise I am buying at the top and getting short at the bottom... as far as a trade list goes, with 1000+ trades it would be 10+ pages long and I don't think it would be very insightful...

Dave, Does the original poster resemble this guy at all? Other than the obvious signing both messages momo, he's talking about his firm using options to short.... The quoted piece is from the trading forum in the thread 2500 - 4000 a day players...

Good to see people are voting. Just a question for those that have voted other. Where are you guys trading from????? mnx

Hey Dr. F. What university are you with? Sounds like some very interesting research you are doing. mnx

momo: you'll notice my posts above are not totally focused about swift, they are more about my evolution and experience as a trader. (if I can call myself that). Let's eliminate some myths for starters... I am not here to defend Peter Beck. Most of my reasons to stay at swift are...

I think it's awesome that you found a job that you really enjoy. As for me, I really enjoy trading. I took a job for 6 weeks in the middle of last year, and you know what? I ran back to trading. I missed it and had to give it another shot. I totally agree with you too about people coming in...

agianst my better judgement I am going to respond to what you said... I'm going to be as objective as possible to avoid flames... I'm sure everything you have said is true. If I had the same experience as you at swift I would have left a long time ago also. About branches teaching you...

first off things are changing. swift ups the base payout once i reach 120k net total, 5% more when i reach 400k and once i reach 1mil i get another 5%... so that means I'll eventually be getting base 50% scaling up to 65% on everything monthly over 30k. so your 46% figure while it may be...

for the way I usually trade it's the best deal for me. I'll take my 50% any day at swift over getting 100% at .002/share somewhere else. no, it's not for everyone. but it is the best fit for me and the way I'm trading right now. An execution fee cap would be really nice though!! When you...

correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I think the split was payable today but the ex-date is Tuesday????? mnx

gee momo you're posting stuff I haven't even heard about yet and I actually trade here... BTW from what I have heard, they are re-introducing retail trading where you put money down and get a higher payout... fees associated with retail trading would also be higher. As for the current...

I'm assuming you're asking what does LFT mean and not (where did you loose the money??) Loss from top means just that. How much you lost from the top (or high) of your days net total. So if my net is 880$ right now, and I have a $124 LFT that means the high of my day is $1004. Have a...
