LOL :D

Professional speculator. And if any thing else follows e.g. what exactly does that entail? I just say with a straight and calm face that I provide liquidity and facilitate the market allocation process… But I generally do leave out the fact that I am a prop trader and that I scalp the...

I thought Vic lives in Dallas, not NJ :confused:

foible: Out of curiocity: 1) What's the name of your prop shop? 2) Where is it located? 3) What are you current commsiions per share? 4) What other fees do you have to pay the shop? 4) what was your initial capital ($$$) contribution to this shop? 5) how long is your initial...

Don: Why do you not recommend trading stocks over $50? Thanks!

Haven't read all of the posts in the thread, and perhaps someone has already mentioned this: "SO WHAT????" The odds are that some student-managed fund out there will outperform the average, just a matter of probabilities. Just as there are hedge funds out there which are kicking ass...

That's GREAT!!! You daytrade index futures or just position trade??? What's your internet connection setup like???

"ETs" why not also post what markets you trade and in what time-frames?!?!?!

Nothing personal, but it sounds like you need to be on a couch of a professional and not in this thread! From the conditions that you described, I don't see how the thought of "day trading" even can come up. Position trading, maybe, but any type of short-term trading is a sure way to...

My understanding is that the Caribbean is quite well connected. So with some basic planning and preparation for possible contingencies, I don't see why day trading from "Paradise" should be all that risky as far as tech issues go... Cable broadband as primary, DSL as a backup, a cell and a...

I am leaving the U.S. for health, family, and personal reasons... Not too long ago, I too pondered about moving to Austin, TX :)… I visited Austin recently, and it is a very nice place full of diverse and very friendly people. IMO, Austin is a great “home base”: C.O.L. is relatively...

Fatrat, the cost of living in the DR or the Carribean is not all that much lower than the U.S., if you expect the same kind of life style that you are used to over here... Although, hired help is quite cheap, i.e. you can have a maid for a couple of hundred dollars per month. Of course I have...

Perhaps, a new thread would be more appropriate, however, since this one got sufficient interest I will pose the question here. For those of you who travel often, more specifically oversees and who still trade/daytrade the U.S. equities markets: 1) In what countries have you had the...

For futures spreads trading I only need EOD and execute most of my trades using MOC order. As far as daytrading: I only know of one trader who lives in the DR, who daytrades once in a while, and who says that the broadband internet is very reliable and that he personally have not had any...

24, Alexandria, VA 2.5 years (retail-stock-swing -----> Prop-NASDAQ&NYSE daytrader) and now just adding a bit of e-mini and futures spreads trading. Moving to the Carribean in February :D

If you are serious about day trading I strongly suggest you take $5-$10K and find yourself a fairly reliable Prop firm. You'll get at least 10:1-20:1 leverage, your commissions will be much lower (at least on a per share basis), and you will have fast direct access to the markets. As far as...

Andy: What trading platform are you using for daytrading? Also, how fast and reliable is the internet connection in the DR? I assume it's broadband... Also do you use some kind of a backup internet connection? Thanks!

"I think if we can solve these issues we can begin to develop 100% mechanical systems for spread trading." GOOD LUCK, LOL :D

Does anyone have any information on prop futures trading firms? It would be nice to create a list of such firms on the ET... So if you know of any prlease post their name and their URL... Thanks!
