    ProsperPro worst software ever

    agreed. Their system and support are ridiculous. Most of the time if you put a problem in IRC you're ignored. The only thing that was accomplished from the recent changes they made to prevent "wash-trading" is traders being stuck in positions because of ghost orders. Perhaps something good...

    BIDU - ipo day trading stories

    I'm not sure what was wrong exactly. The entire Swift-Trade system was down at the start of the day because of some clearing problem. Then it came back up for like 20 min and then people couldn't cancel pending or make new orders and it crashed again 40 min before BIDU started trading. me =...

    Stocks with shaves

    Does anyone know any good stocks that have shaves usually available on ISLD? Right now I watch SIRI and SUNW but want to branch out and trade something with a similar volatility to SIRI. Thanks

    posting the screenshot is mainly for my own personal tracking purposes; after all..this is my journal. If you can't make out anything try using the "zoom" feature on your picture browser. The pic is more than adequate resolution.

    ahh today was my best day yet. Boss let us start trading SIRI so I could actually be on something that moves more than 0.02 all day. Flipped ATTN pretty much all day and it worked very well for me. Hope to repeat and get better tomorrow.

    today's not worth posting. Didn't feel like giving in to the "slop and chop" so I barely traded at all. Got burned twice today because our quote server was delayed :mad: Other than that nothing to note. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

    Well today I was experimenting with letting my winners run farther and letting the losers give a little more also so there was more of a chance I could pullback on a losing trade. Unfortunately giving the losers a little more cost me but letting the winners ride more seemed to work OK. Some of...

    this first week he's just had us experimenting with different strategies and "learning the ropes". Like I said, starting Monday we're on our own and will start being reviewed for share size increases.

    Didn't make near as many trades today for a couple reasons. First of all, the boss wanted us to only Bid on a stock that was in the positive for the day and only Offer on stocks that were negative. Second, the stocks we were trading barely moved at all for most of the day. Monday we get to go...

    Much better day today with higher volumes. Did better on the credit game flipping ATTN whenever I could. Changed my blotter to reflect my net without the stupid 0.20 execution fee since I'm trading 100 shares.

    didn't bother posting today. Boss had us practice playing the credit game and there weren't many opportunities for trades due to the low volume on the stocks we were in. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

    well 2nd day Live..nearly doubled my gross while keeping my net pretty much the same. $14 of net due to execution fee since I'm only trading 100 shares.
