I don't know anything about the other threads that were written but I guess there needs to be a common definition established. I was talking about Proprietary firms NOT Pro firms. Proprietary firms hire traders to trade their money (at least at futures firms), pay a small salary, and split...

I would say if you think you can compete long term trading size on this time frame more power to you. If you are trading 2 lots for a tick or whatever the equivalent size is in stocks then in MY OPINION you won't be making enough to make up for the periods where you will have to figure out a...

Just as a follow up to what I posted above is that comment of not to expect for them to show you how to trade. If it is a real prop firm, although in most cases they do not show you much, it SHOULD be expected that they show you something. In a prop situation you are suppose to be on the same...

This is one way a trader can adapt to the changes in the market. I see this has happened to a lot of prop futures firms. There are a lot of prop futures firms that want their traders to scalp for ticks but now that time frame is dominated by automated firms for both directional and spread...

I guess you would need to clarify if you are trading a second after the release of the number of it or just using the volatility caused by the number to put trades on since sometimes there is more interest for the following 30 min to few hours after the release then if there was not a number...

What was the trading style at the firm you were at? A lot of the prop firms are based a similar models and trading styles in Chicago. Also do you have any programming background because that could also help you get into some different kinds of firms.

Wow that is funny this still happens. Good trading to you. If the dumb money is handing it out you are smart to take it.

Wow this show is crazy. This is the longest I have watched the show before.

Thanks for the info. Yea that was the stock I was thinking about that I just saw roll across the screen. Did you catch any of that? Do you notice if the stock starts moving now before he talks about it, like someone knows which one he is going to talk about before he starts?

I have just recently watched an episode of Cramer's Mad Money. I have yet to get through a whole episode because I feel like I am watching the WWE. However today I noted that two of the stocks he mentioned started scrolling through on the CNBC ticker. I then went a pulled them up on a quick...

Can you explain more what is going on and what the downloader is or what he does? I have not traded eurex stuff for a couple of months now.

Is the office in Scottsdale office a totally new office or are they taking over an existing office of another firm?

Hope so, I liked that guy.

I would be interested to know this too.

Nice post TGM. Like you said many traders I think get stuck in trading the market they know regardless if there is better and easier opportunity in other markets. So they slave away everyday in the same market and eventually start bitching how much the markets sucks. Then you go talk to an...

I wonder how much of the price is related to the large speculative element to the market at the moment. It is a market in the middle of a large trend move that brings in players who are just a long for the ride, just like the equity market a few years ago. Of course we know there was a...

If that is the case I would rather not rehash it all here again. The thread will get too off topic. Actually I would have been wanting a simplier solution about the topic anyway. I think the approach above was far more complicated then it should be and rehashing it here would probably not...

Grob: I started a thread awhile ago that eventually got off track and went a different direction. Anyway it dealt with the concept of trading by constantly being in the market and reversing your position. I think that was what you were talking above. I tried investigating it but could not...

If that is true then that is good for all her subscribers and worth a look for those seeking guidance. I think that would give subscribers a lot more confidence then the services where the person on the other side no longer actually trades.

I was not questioning how much money she was or was not making off of the website. It can be a very good income source and is probably less stressful then trading. I was pretty sure she was doing pretty well with it or she would not bother with it. She is smart for doing it if people continue...
