One thing I have found is that it is impossible to avoid huge slippage in breakout and stoploss. The slippage is so great that it is matter of profit or loss. Here is some examples. A stock is testing its support at 17, I set a market stop at 16.98. Yah, I got it filled at 16.8. Another...

can i conclude this? if i only need cheap commissions, i should not go prop? an easy way for cheap leverage is via 0% balance transfer from credit cards, although i only have $200K, then plus overnight margin, i can get $400k. by the way, what margin interest rate does prop shop charge? i...

sec fee is 0.005 per share? i know discount brokers like scottrade or ameritrade, will only charge $10 or less. i know they may cheat on market or active orders, but if you provide liquidity by using passive limit orders, your orders will be shown to the level2 book pretty quickly, so there is...

GREAT WORK! two question 1, do you want to run an IB advisor account, so you can manage client account? 2, is your selection automatable? so instead of reading your writing every day, your client can trade based on your info without human interaction. by the way, how large is your...

Prop Commission vs IB's IB's is 0.5c per share. How about Prop's? How much is desk fee? I want to do a comparison in fees based on my volume and style between prop and retail.

the topic is really why he failed ( http://www.marketthoughts.com/jesse_livermore.html ) it is why he does not accept others' money. he made to 10k then lost all. if i were him, i would run others money after he got to 1m level. my question is 1 is his personality lack of people...

didn't Jasse lost all of his money then kiled himself? you will never kill yourself, if you use others' money. what i believe is that: he is just a gambler. without diversification, one trade can kill him!!! becaues in his early days, he was a scalper, later he was holding overnight...

Jesse Livermore was only a trader. He never managed others' money. Why? By the way, he never diversify either. The only money management he used is stop loss.

new recent high at 5.2 check out the breakout at 4.6, 5 and now at 5.2. check out the history of clinton group fund, they buy a lot of shares and buy a seat at the board to change the management. they never pump and dump. they are long term investors! i expect another 13G/A or 4 to be...

AWX will break $8 soon. Please read the tapes to find the trace of the smart money. They accumulate at this level. There is no sign of any kind of drop in price, no sign of any spike in volume. Price is just keeping moving up for 3+ years!

thanks for the tip. i already have a pretty good system, but i have two problems 1, how to mathematically define my system, because a lot of time, my system depend on tape reading, -- reading how fast bid ask goes and how fast a passive order is taken... and i don't know even know how to define...

searched on amazon, there is only one book to be published. i'd not find nothing else on the web.

when will they be traded on Nasdaq?

i was on another forum. that forum is dried up. very few posts there now. i have the same userid. i did not see any friends from there on ET. i guess they never do day-trading. i am a terrible daytrader too.

I know just2trade will match any deal. Lowtrade offers $2.5, that is before just2trade came into business. Ameritrade offers $5 Apex trades. Not sure about scottrade, etrade, IB. Please list your negotiated retail rate and how you talked them to lower your rate.

AWX, solid balance book, great cash. Both revenue and income are in a growing trend. I am a value investor. This stock is very similar to my past long term stock picks such as TRT, 180% gain in 9 months ACY, 300% gain in 9 months PARL 1000% in 2.5 years PAE, 300% in 6 months ZONS, 1000% in...
