No one trades the open? Mmmmmmm..

As we all know, the month of August (when mutual/hedge fund mgrs are in Fiji) is especially illiquid and generally choppy. I've found that the first hour of trading seems to be even more of a sweet spot during this month than normal, and more specifically the first 15 mins or so. I'm...

Wow. What insight, I really appreciate it. That opera browser is tons better than Netscape, IE, and all that other over proprietized stuff. I'll try to find the setting to fix the messaging problems. Thanks. rossmedia

Question for the Dr. above Does the free version of Opera work as you mentioned or just the purchased one? Also, what about the messenger pop ups that come through your computer even when no browser is open?, The only way I've been able to prevent these is to disconnect. rossmedia

when I say Pop-up I mean the advertisements, casino, close circuit camera etc.. all that crap

These intraday pop ups are really messing with my trading day. I go to make a trade and a pop up destroys my timing. I used one in the past and it interfered with my esignal feeds among other problems. Anyone using Esignal that can advise as to the best blocker to use would be helpful. rossmedia

Also, although elitetrader is a forum I'm speaking of more real-time intraday serious trading dialogue. rossmedia

Has anyone found any day trading rooms that aren't filled with hype or outrageous claims of profit. Although every room has its share of dreamers there must be some intraday chat room that is substantive and realistic. Any info appreciated. rossmedia

PickNClick and TM Direct. You guys really lack in rhetorical tact. Bottom line, the first post on this thread explained my reason for exposing Worldco Santa Monica, "Bait and Switch." Like it or not, I have no desire to advertise my firm, additionally, the proprietor, and Magna , the...

TM Direct.. Contrary to what many "Big" Traders want you to think, continuing education, training, reading, studying never, ever stops. The biggest traders on the planet just learned something new today. Unlike you guys, I don't claim to be a great equity trader, my experience is in option...

TM Direct.. I'm laughing with you...Wow..how does a newbie get such a sweet situaltion, make money, and keep making it? I don't know, I don't want to know. I just want checks..you can stay experienced and professional..I'll just take the check. Good luck Mr. Schwab. Rossmedia

TM Direct thank you for the inquiry. Let me answer directly. 1. I got my 7 because it is and was a Worldco requirement (which is ofcourse standard) 2. What are you missing? You’re missing this..Before I started trading at the present prop firm, Worldco (an employee of SM office) called my...

Hey Jeff, I don't remember speaking with you but I don't doubt we've previously been in contact. I've moved on with another firm I'm pleased with. In fact, it is only now, 8 months later, that I even had a moment to discuss the SM occurrence. I've just been studying and trying to become a...

Well I guess it is true, people never hear what you say, only what they think you said. I never mentioned the name of of the guy who runs the office, therefore it is impossible to drag an unmentioned name through the mud. I guess this is how people get acquitted in a court of law. By the time...

It seems ever so often I must re-insert the pivotal point of this thread. So I state again, It is not the 3k required to start, it was the deception that no such thing existed. All of this other stuff is for the birds. It is very simple. Tell the truth from the word go and you'll never have to...

Big Mike, please read more carefully next time. “If you want a handout, apply for welfare”, that was funny man I like that. Anyway, The point concerning Worldco was bait and switch. The 3k was peripheral to the point. They lied. If the first thing a firm does is lie to get me in the door...

Mr. Bling Bling you are only partially correct. Somehow firms have duped the trading masses to think that, unlike any other job, you need to put your capital on the line before they will put theirs. If you are hired by a company and they are paying you 100k yearly why shouldn’t they require...

Nitro, you may be correct. I have no experience with any other Worldco office except for the Santa Monica one. Rossmedia

I was hired 8 months ago as a prop trader at the Santa Monica office. I was told explicitly there would be absolutely no money down. I took the 7 and 55..passed the first time. Got ready to go to work and was asked for $3,000 or I wouldn't trade. Worldco Santa Monica and the guy who runs the...

Ok, I'm looking at the underground trader site at his intraday calls. 1. How do I know these calls aren't posted seconds after the move has been made. 2. Is he as consistent as he looks on paper. 3. Any input, good or bad, would be helpful. I am interested in joining his service if his...
