    Paper Trading Software

    www.utropix.com/jmowery/PropFirms.html Most if not all those firms offer a trial/demo of their software's which has real-time data and simulates orders. Firms with Laser and Sterling are probably the most easily accessible. Although you might only get it for a week to a month or so...

    Need to install a SATA drive, but have no floppy drive... grrr

    Uggggggggh. I buy new technology, only to end up having to resort to some forms of the oldest technology, floppies being quite old. So here is what I'm doing. I'm figuring it will be another week or so until I'm set up at this firm, so I'm just going to install Windows Vista and screw...

    Genesis Securities, Pros and Cons

    You can get 10 to 1 directly with Genesis. You could get 100 to 1 at some firms if you go searching. To tell you the truth, I do not know. I never got up to the limit in buying power and I never had limit orders, I always directly hit so I either filled or I didn't and only trade one...

    No Commission on Equity Trades...What am i giving up???

    Are we talking about "real" prop firms, the one where you get a salary or what. I still have never seen a firm offer this, so I'm assuming this is going to be one of those deals where your going to be in an office?

    Need to install a SATA drive, but have no floppy drive... grrr

    Ok, so I just purchased a 250 gig Western Digital SATA drive OEM from newegg.com, and it got here, but I found out that I need to install SATA drivers. Problem is, I need to boot from the Windows XP CD to do that, and when I do, it says I need a floppy drive with the drivers on it. I have...

    No Commission on Equity Trades...What am i giving up???

    Someone else mentioned firms going to a no commissions structure, and I pm'd him but didn't send me a message back. I'm trying to understand how this "no commission" thing will work if it is true. They are still charging 10 dollars a trade at Ameritrade, and I don't think I'm going to see...

    eSignal -- which exchange fees to pay?

    http://www.dtn.com/trading.cfm?sidenav=sn_trading_px&content=pr_prophx_trial You can try it for yourself. You need to pay the exchange fee's if you want live data though, same as with eSignal though.

    How much do you need?

    Full time? You need to have enough money to pay your living expenses for one year, including data fee's and software and all that. Then you need your money your going to trade with. If you go to a prop firm, you could probably make it with 10k, just go to a firm where you can deposit 2k...

    Its all about "tests"

    Good stuff. I actually was reading about this something when I first started trading and had the equidistant channel thing set on my charts when I first started, although was a bit rough on the 1 minute timeframe. Have to explore it further if I was to do a systematic based approach to...

    Tradevision

    LMAO!!!!!!!! Haha, now that is funny. I'm glad we all assigned someone as king of the crop and who will determine which firms are good for us. Seriously though Don, I have nothing personal against you, but I'd not join your firm now, just from the attitude that you bring. I thought BT...

    Is Esignal the only one out there?

    That, or you could go directly to http://www.prophetx.com/ 7 day free trial I believe only uses 5 minute snapshots of data. So you still have to pay for the exchange fee's if you want to use live data, same thing with any other charting provider though. Great support though, if you have...

    Is Esignal the only one out there?

    ProphetX is as good as it's gonna get. I believe you could shave off $50 at least per month. Plus they have added several features, and everytime I e-mail them requesting a new feature, they always let me know they are passing it on to the dev team. eSignal, well, they just f***...

    What do you have around your desk?

    lol, not all of that is on my desk, the OP said around the desk, so I included everything around my desk too :P I clean once every weekend, but by the end of the week, it's a disaster, an ongoing struggle. I don't have much space to put things at all. I'm going to be going to buy some...
