    Prop trading from home

    Interesting question, each time I set up as a professional from a satellite location (1991 and 2001) that indeed was a requirement from NASD and NYSE as my office was considered a satellite location. I think the issue had to do with dissemination of quotes and information, and of course...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    Quote from Tom Busby: "This is very bullish and setting us up for a great October." Kind of a funny comment from a scalper!

    Considering day trading for a living

    In my limited experience (25 yrs) meeting hundreds of traders, I have not met one who did not lose their initial stake AT LEAST once. In my opinion you are asking a trick question as I don't think there is a magical amount to start with or maintain to be successful. Doesn't matter if...

    Joining RBC/Carlin

    20 to 1 intraday is great for a skilled trader but my guess is Carlin et al will get that $50,000 as commission money from 95% of all novice traders that put it up. A mere 2.5% drawdown if you are extended will cut your capital in half. If it happens twice more you would have the same...

    Bloomberg: 2010 A traders odyssey

    His vision of Wall Street conjures up science fiction fantasies of HAL 9000, the sentient computer in ``2001: A Space Odyssey.'' Instead of mindlessly crunching numbers, AI-powered circuitry one day will mimic our brains and understand our emotions -- and outsmart human stock pickers, he says...

    hardest futures contract to trade?

    ES should be the dream contract because of the immense liquidity.....like nothing else. Fortunately or unfortunately it is the ultimate leader and more often than not in the very short term becomes "the Tail wagging the Dog." Oddly enough, Mr. Cramer explained it best last week...
