    Is your trading improving?

    Definately improving this year. Beating my monthly PNL month-over-month and each month I've beat my previous best day at least once. I may not be pulling in the numbers that some of you guys are doing, but, at the stage I'm at, I'm happy with steady and consistent growth. :)

    question about swift trading

    There's a reason why they call it the "job market". These people aren't being strapped to desks and told to trade and all they get is a couple bowls of rice; they're willing participants who accepted the terms of employment as independent contactors. If they're being exploited, it's because...

    Question about REG NMS

    So I was reading through the reproposals of REG NMS and would love if someone could clarify something for me. It reads... So my question is...what are some examples of automated vs manual quotations? I can't say I've heard those terms before.

    Usd/cad

    Just a question for you pros.... I've noticed at the end of the month the USD/CDN seems to tank a good amount. However, this month it seems to be holding it's ground. With oil prices being so high, do you think this is a sign of underlying strength in this pair? Or is this just another one of...

    Some Swift Questions

    Isn't it interesting how all of traderblue's posts so far are about bashing Swift or how much he hates Swift? Is that the reason you registered traderblue? Or do you actually have something creative, intelligent, or insightful to lend to the community? :p

    They have a few CME products available to trade. ES for sure. I'm not sure about the other ones. You'll have to ask the branch manager.

    Are there any honest, reliable prop firms out there?

    If you took the time to read through some of the forums you would see that the bashing of the rebates, and subsequent threat that they'll be gone any day now, has been going on for years. In fact, in regulation NMS, the SEC has deemed that rebates are necessary to the existence of ECNs and...

    Are there any honest, reliable prop firms out there?

    I would put it higher than 100 mil actually. All offices combined add more than 40 mil in liquidity to just INET on Nasdaq in one day. Then add ADFN, BRUT, ARCA, any Supermontage, and the other ECNs we have access to plus any orders removing liquidity. Then add all of the guys who trade NYSE and...

    Stock with the biggest bid an ask

    Be careful Vinny. When it was at 18.99/19.00 it had the same level. It held for a few days and then I watched it plow right through it like it was nothing. Seems after a while the computers make it their mission to destroy any level that seems to be a "good level" just to shake people out and...

    Superior trader, a born talent or can be taught?

    Although I've heard many stories where someone has picked up Joe Schmoe off the street and plopped him in front of a desk to trade, (and he made money) I believe the following are important inherent characteristics (although some would argue that these can all be taught): Discipline...

    Books on trading

    Well first of all....there's the "Books" section at the top of your screen. In theory, that section may contain books you want to read. There may even be books about trading. Second, under the "Resources" forum..it has this little description: "Talk about the resources available to traders...

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    So what I gather from that explanation is that it's a way of figuring out how strong the current trend is and possibly spotting reversals when the overall rotation starts to decrease. (if I'm totally out to lunch please let me know). Here's the template anyway for anyone interested.

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    hey bolter I have a question about something Market Profile related. On another forum I found a spreadsheet to calculate each bracket's "rotation factor". However, I've scoured the web and can't find a straight answer as to what different values for a rotation factor might indicate...

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    Good call today bolter. I actually missed your prognosis this morning because I got in to work late but my system told me to buy the 1283's. I did but only took it for 2 ticks. :( Boy was I disappointed. But, the good things that came of it were: 1) I proved to myself that I have my system...

    Can Anyone Explain LOUD stock

    Word from a reliable source says that the reason for the massive volume (and subsequent pulling of rebates by Inet and Nasdaq) was a bunch of traders wash trading. They would hit themselves with a flat fee account and collect the rebates on their rebate account. Needless to say they're being...

    Market Profile Plus by bolter

    Just out of curiosity, do the UVA, POC, and the one S/R line all being so close together suggest a bottoming? (especially since we blew through them today)
