Now here is a look at the tape for GM this morning. The heavy buying that you can see on the small look at the tape continued for a while.

I think the only way to spot chop is after the fact. If you see a lot of chop all day that may effect your trading but I think you should still trade your plan and try to capitalize on good trends they will happen almost every day. Even in choppy markets I will take everyone of my set-ups the...

Gekko, no question is a stupid question. (Except yours):D :D :D Don't make people try and explain it in this thread just go to www.cme.com and read all about it. You will come back knowing more about e-minis than most people on this board.:)

Volume is never just volume. Volume is supply/demand. Every trade is counted as volume, of course, but what makes that trade. One person wants to sell their stock and someone wants to buy it. (This is very simplified) If the buyer really wants it they will offer to pay more then what it was...

Brandon, I couldn't have said it better myself. All a "day trader" needs is 1 maybe 2 set-ups that they like and are comfortable with. That's it. Find some stocks you like to trade and apply your selected set-ups. It's not fancy, it's not exciting but it works. I would rather build my...

Tradinpat, I was wondering if you were looking at Geneva Trading due to the fact that I pointed it out in one of your other threads. I was just using it as a example of one trading firm out there that not many people know about. Like I said, if you go to www.google.com and do a search for...

Ya, I don't about this. Let me say this, my brother is a total computer geek. He and his computer geek friends can do anything they want with computers. He was able to get Windows XP Pro from one of his friends. Then he burned a copy of it and found some Product Keys online. (He is able to...

NO!!!!!!! Windows 2000 is nothing like ME. ME is just a piece of crap that Microsoft brought out to hold people off while they were making Windows XP. ME is crap. Most new computers will come with XP because it is the newest software. I would just get rid XP and load up 2000. It is...

If you trade on margin with more than 25K you have nothing to worry about.

I am not looking at Geneva, I just posted that web site to show how many different firms are out there. I too am looking into Echo. The office they have by my house is great. The treaders there are cool and easy to talk to and get along with. I have also just started talking to Don Bright...

Well I think your degree will help you out. It might not make you a better trader but it will help you land a job with a good firm. Most firms that require no capital will start you out as a "trader assistant". Like Geneva Trading. http://www.geneva-trading.com/index.asp They are one of...

Well I picked the 800K+ but unfortunately it's not true. :eek: :confused:

Couldn't agree more. Wait 3 days to trade again, forget about it.

You need to talk with some good prop firms. There are firms that hire traders to "work" for them and they do not require that you put up any of your own money. Some even start you out on salaries plus your trading profits. They will just take some of you profits. If you go to a firm where...

You are also free to trade futures as much as you like with smaller account balances.

Nutsneal, I am sure that your post on the rules is correct. But what does it really matter when the brokers will not let you trade with your money for 3 days anyway (such as IB)? If the brokers will not let you trade the money for 3 days you are screwed, regardless of how the ruling is...

Here is the problem with the PDT rule. If you margin your account with less than 25K you are only able to make 3 round trip trades (open and close a position in the same stock) every 5 days. That's it. no exceptions! If you don't margin your account you have some other problems. First, you...

Go buy a Mac. You can dink around with that thing all day long. It might be fun. Or you might hate your life. What ever.
