    eSignal has gone downhill

    hmm. This doesn't seem right Gotta agreed that something has happened to esignal lately and it has turned to junk. Looking at CQG and have been impressed so far. Also, looking at DTN IQFEED and using it with some charting software but can't find many that I like. But, I will have to keep...

    lol dude accidentally buys BSC on margin before the plummet

    Even if the story is fake (being on a message board suggests that it is fake) there were definitely accounts blown in BSC today. It is down almost 60% this week and with 2-1 and 4-1 margin plus peoples love for picking bottoms there are gonna be some demolished accounts out there. Not a real...

    you have been trading for 5 years now and want out

    If someone tells you that trading for 5 years is a "gap" in your resume you better put them in their place. If you spend that much time dedicating yourself to a discipline where 90% fail and you come out the other end of it with more then you started with, then that should beat the "cubicle yes...

    Is having your own hedge fund good idea vs. staying as prop.

    Never having to answer to anyone is priceless. If you are established many prop firms will give you loads of BP and leave you alone. In my books, that is gameover. Who even cares about the money scenarios.

    American looking to move to remote Canadian wilderness

    If you were a Canadian citizen you could have any piece of land you wanted for $25. A miner's license lets you stake a claim anywhere. "Mining prevails over private property interests. A free miner can enter onto private land and make a claim without giving notice to the surface...

    Anyone else consider

    why would you move OUT of the USA when the dollar is worth so little? You will have to exchange it at some horrible exchange rates and get very in return compared what you could have gotten just a month ago.

    Usd/cad

    Be thankful it was just 1 trade. I live in Canada and trade the American markets, so obviously all my trading capital and profits are in USD. I am stuck in this train wreck. There are many others also stuck dealing with this bleeding POS.

    IB commission for ER2 = $4.80 RT?

    You can compare unbundled to bundled here: http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/futuresPricing2.php?ib_entity=llc Unbundled is a few cents cheaper but does not include the 10 cent per contract carrying fee charge. So if you only day trade and are flat by the end of the...

    I buy goosd stooks that go up

    The market goes up when there is more buying than selling. That is the only way for anything in the market to go up. A company could have the best fundamentals and have $1 million EPS every quarter and a multiple of .001 but if no one buys their stock then it isn't going anywhere.

    just sold my last house leaving real estate market want to trade

    No point in paper trading. Just trade small lots then you will also learn where to route your order and how things fill. Can't expect to learn without losing money. And you can study yourself to see how you handle the losses since the better you get the bigger they will get also. Paper trading...

    Is Market Delta a MUST ???

    Yes that is true, but if you see a bunch of large negative deltas and the market is not being pushed lower then you can assume there are some large buyers bidding. But it is a good point that the deltas don't show the whole story, you can't look at their value and base your whole trade on it...

    Is Market Delta a MUST ???

    You use the info MD gives you to help you make decisions, not to make the decisions for you. If you see that there are large sellers hitting the bid yet the market won't go down then that info is useful. Maybe the larger sellers get angry and continue smashing the bid until they win or maybe...

    Amaranth's Brian Hunter to launch new Hedge Fund

    Probably the fact that he made One Billion Dollars in one year. Not an easy thing to do. He didn't bust Deutsche .. He (him and the people he traded with) lost $52 million in a month but still finished the year up over $20 million.

    an elementary T&S question

    Level 2 has the bids and offers, the TAS only shows buys and sells. So you can't see any bids on the TAS you only see trades. I think you are just looking at things backwards. Like if you see a print on the TAS that hit the bid you should just think "that is a sell", don't think about the bid...
