Only two stocks (other than LU which was switched over quite some time ago) have gone hybrid. EOP & AXP both switched over last Friday, so 2 full trading days of phase III for them. Doesn't seem much different in terms of the spec getting in your way, other than the executions going through...

You can do a search and probably find quite a few threads answering all the questions you need. To answer your main question... You get paid once you make $2k net in one calendar month. Could be your 2nd month, could be your 5th...

Was chugging along nicely... until I decided to play the e-minis as the minutes came out. Wrong idea.

Pretty embarrassing... I guess I know how to cover my fees though :(

Taking the rest of the day off... I'm rich! Have a good long weekend everyone.

I'm happy that I've been positive for 4 days now, but that's about it. Felt a bit more confident in my trading today, but cut my losses short too many times... fees ate me.

Considering my mood most of the day, and the fact I'm trading bare mimimum size... I consider it a good day. I've got 2 positive days in a row now, and I'm still going to be baby-stepping it for quite a while... so don't expect anything spectacular on my blotter posts for a bit. (Although...

Pretty damn pathetic... Pretty much traded all 100 lots with a few exceptions, trying to get in some sort of a groove.

I guess the slump continues... Looks like tomorrow will be another baby-step kind of day. Damn you EIX!

Well... Around 1pm I was ready to pack it in, and call it another losing day. Took a walk and was able to psyche myself back into a good mood, and proceeded to make money from there. Hoping to put together a few consistent days to get my confidence level back to where it should be. :D

Unfortunately my blotter is from today :mad: Thinking about taking a few days off to retool my strategies, just can't seem to catch the right side of anything lately. Lost a few hundred on LSE as well, so my blotter is actually around -400.

I'm an idiot...

Saw plenty of action to capitalize on today... just need to get used to my new strat and build my confidence some to take advantage of it. Because of that, my ratio is horrid, with fees taking about half my profits. Good learning day. Have a good weekend everyone.

One of the most frustrating days I've had this year. Got into a nice little hole early on, but was able to almost get positive playing PX for a few hours... then I get raped and lose everything and more on my last trade. :mad:

Missed a few hours in the morning, and couldn't find fark all the rest of the day... At least I'm positive :p Didn't really help that our quotes were about 10 seconds behind during the FOMC mania, but what can you do.

Horrible ratio all day long. Finally got myself out of a bit of a hole, and then proceeded take a hammer on BSX mid-afternoon. Pretty much lost most of my money on fees today, so I'm not too disappointed. Edit: Having no T&S didn't help my trading too much either :mad:

Good consistency, and a decent ratio with my new little strategy. Did a lot of reading over lunch, so I'm sure I could have made more. :eek:

Decent day. Started trading around noon because I was spending the morning picking up my new car... Glad to get that out of the way. Now I can focus all my energy on my trading, and the new strategy I'm working with. :D Good weekend everyone!

Pretty much the first trade of the day, and I get reamed on MON. Oh well. Hopefully everyone else has better luck than myself today. :)

He's in Canada right now.
