    WorldCo NYC - Traders?

    I have been at wldc since 7/1999. They have been more than fair with me ever since the start. When I was down in my account and couldn't pay my bills, they allowed me to train new traders on how to use our systems and paid me $100 an hour!! Of course, this was possible because I also traded...

    Fastest NYSE Executions?

    There are many reasons why you wouldn't/couldn't do odd lots like you describe. (1) S0-called "professionals" - which prop traders with Series 7 are considered - are NOT allowed to trade odd lots by NASD rules. That's why I can not send odd lot orders. (2) Odd lots can be filled at prices...

    Anybody bought or subscribe to services?

    I sent for his trading record. They returned a sworn affidavit (although unsigned...) for last 10 quarters. It says he made $400,000 in last 10 quarters - that's 2 1/2 years. This isn't that much money for somebody who is selling his services! Hell - I made more money than that in last 10...

    Who is trading 500k to 1Million shares/MONTH?

    1M a month? That averages out to only 50K a day. My average daily volume is somewhere between 75K - 200K. So - yea - I guess Im trading above 1M a month. I dont think that's too much. I wish I could do what P2 is doing...not trading much and make huge profits. Im what they call "King...

    Buying @ bid - possible?

    Sure you can get filled at the bid: if the option price is going down! If it IS going down, you will be the FIRST to get filled. Give me a break guys....Why would you want the option if the MM is giving it to you at the bid? The stock (& options) is going down. Its the same thing with...

    Making 2 mio $ at Worldco ....

    By the way, I dont think anyone is doing that great this year. The top traders made little over $2M last couple years...but I think they might be up maybe +$500,000 or so this year so far...not on par with last year...I can't be 100% sure, however... Maybe Hitman or I Missed The Boat can shed...

    It took me 20 months to go flat in my account. Now, after 3 years of trading full time at a prop firm, Im making a decent living and paying my bills. At worst, I was - $150,000 ito my firm's money. That's not to say that I'm the standard to which you should measure the success rate of...

    AT on the net

    Belzberg? I take it you're a Worldco remote trader? I'd be interested in finding out where you trade from. I like Belzberg actually...although it has a long ways to in order for me to be satisfied. It still has lots of bugs also. I called AT internet dept...and they said that my slowness...
