lojze- don't forget the ever-important element to charts/tape reading whatever= Volume like others have said, mid-day is usually not the best time to enter a trade.... 11am-2pm generally sees lower volume

I've been keeping my eye on it...and was thinking about putting some in my IRA...whenever I need jeans, t-shirts and boxers this is where I go, and have been for 15years or so but I'm waiting to see what happens with the chart...here's a short term view

Hitman- no nothing has changed...I've talked to many Echo traders and they are all very happy...the software is a bit weak , but like I said it looks like they're taking care of that bullets are 3cents a share i think...but I don't plan on using them too much...i seem to have found my nitch in...

Hitman- Those rates are pretty good. No, I'm not putting up 25k...only 10k to start Maybe I can come down to visit again, even though I'm not crazy about working out of Manhattan...but if I need to meet with Walter I should make arrangements for that too. Let me know. uptik2000

Eldr- check the echo site...they give you the pay back for Island too...it just seems like a great deal...if you're doing nasdaq i guess you have to consider ecn fees... most people know I don't work at/for echo...even though it seems like I'm touting themyes, i've had people offer to make the...

Hitman- I've met you in person, so you know I'm not trying to make a commercial for Echo, but it really seems like they are offering the best rates you can send me an e-mail if you have a better offer and don't want to post it. uptik2000

this is a bit off topic, but as many know I've been in the process of choosing a pro firm for a while now...from all the info I've taken in i have been leaning to Echo the whole time and I'll admit one thing that has been holding me back was the software...everyone I've talked to who is trading...

(MM)?

For all those doubters...yes! the homepage is up, and fulltime trading will resume on or about March 4th... I've had visitors and e-mails asking when the trading starts up again...it's soon...believe me I'm going crazy with this vacation crap...so you know where the home page is...start...

AAA- I hear ya on that time issue...I'm in NY myself..but I keep thinking..."ok, up at 5am work until 1pm , at the beach by 1:30, and at that time I'm sure it's full of young college girls who are skipping class..." I'm might be 30, but I can pass for 22...so sweet college girls just come to...

AAA- If you're moving into NYC I've got some info for you...my sister just moved into a studio apt on the upper east side...price=$1050 per month...it's about the size of my bedroom...on the sixth floor...no elevator....and the realtor fee was about $1200 so be prepared...personally I'd be...

tampa- do you mean you're quiting trading? I'm not sure if thats what you meant by your job. But if so..I'm just curious as to how long you tried it as a full-time job? did you put 100% in? do you have a history of changing careers? why did you quit? thanks uptick2000 does anyone know...

yeah...i haven't been trading in a few weeks...but I did see them pop up every once in a while... I think you 'll be able to see their activity at www.nasdaqtrader.com just go to the monthly report section and put in ATTN i know at one point Attain was actually paying their prop traders...

letstrade- yeah, i use that strategy often...it's a great way to reduce vol...very similar to hedging with futures one thing is to make sure the stock you're in has decent correlation with qqq's ...one way to check that is on: www.market-topology.com

Vinny- it does...the www.attain.com will now take you to Domestic securities web-site, which is the old All-Tech I don't think anyone but those prop traders are using ATTN, and thats not much.

3dog- yeah, risk/reward ratio... so if i see money lying in the corner, i go to pick it up...i set my stop(MAE) and have a multiplier to estimate my target...some people keep that set in stone...I give it a little more play...my target that is...not my stop.

I'll put in my 2 cents... i agree that most authors, "gurus" etc...don't make or write about any systems that are worth paying for...I know that's not gonna make the recent vendors around here happy but f it... like praetorian2 said, trading is boring at times...and you need to wait until...

[B]Lately I have been doing smaller size but trying to force myself to hold through little wiggles. If I think the overall direction is solid, I will try my best to hold and not look as long as my mental stop is not violated (and yes I have been giving stocks a little more wiggle room than...
