Vlad: I think that you can. Unfortuneately, I do not know how to do it. However, if you are near a bloomberg, just hi the help key twice ( I think that it is the f2 key) and that will bring you to their email technical help system. Type a message outlining your question, and they usually...

Cash: what part are you in? Gordo

Haven't been watching the market much lately, wondering how you all have been doing of late. From the sound of the boards, it's still a rough go for many. The sideline sounds like a good spot for a newbie like me. Gordo

Unless something has changed, I believe that it was a schedule c - trader status- that I used to file. Active Trader (not to plug the mag.) generally has tax info for traders - often written by Tesser or Green, both CPAs specializing in trader related practices. Think they both have websites...

xtrader: Are you saying that the ranks of prop trading continue to thin?:confused: gordo

So am I reading this correctly, or just being pessimistic? Does this sound like another potential trading impediment? Hope not, it seems like it could get expensive and thus another increased cost, a barrier to entry for us newbies. Of course, I don't know what the bandwidth requirements are...

Eldridge: That's a good point. I think, but don't hold me to this, that as long as a person holds their licenses, 7 & 63, etc., the exchanges consider their status "professional." The last that I heard, 7 & 63 were good for two years after leaving a firm. Not sure how this works in terms...

Eldridge: Aren't the data fees included in prop desk fees? If this is the case, then some of the prop fees that I have seen, particularily remote, seem to be fairly competetive in terms of the fee structure that exchanges charge for "professional quotes." Anyone that currently trades prop...

On the monthlys it could be suggested that we are about to test the neckline (H & S not supposed to be as reliable on monthly though?). Daily/weekly still look like rally (cup/handle) patterns. Gordo

What time frame are you looking at? On the dailys, they appear to be forming a cup and handle. Gordo

That's a good question. Thought about that myself more than once. Forces you to expand your boundaries, and confront your fears :(

hongshu: My previous post is probably redundant given Avalanche's response. Let us know how it works for you. Avalanche - thanks for the link also, have to check it out. Look's like it could be useful. Gordo

hongshu: A few folks have made similar inquiries. Haven't seen anything updated on this lately. Having been in a similar situation, one option may be to create an excel template to download and track your portfolio. You could setup IRR and ROE/ROA formulas, etc. There was a spreadsheet...

TKO: I'll preemptively take the liberty to initially respond to your question. The divergence, would/is a good attempt to sell the top. And the convergence, would/is a good attempt to buy the bottom (catch a falling knife if you will). These are two easily spotted and simple setups to...

Toonces: Bit of an off topic question, but where did you come up with that handle? Coincidently know someone who is affectionately referred to by that name.

My inbox also does strange things. I check my mail each day. But last week there was a message that showed up that said it was sent two weeks earlier. If I check my inbox, it does not show up. Only saw it once.

Natalie: I'm sure that we'll all be anxiously waiting.:D Cheers! Gordo

yeah Natalie, help us out. There might be a few of us single INTJ guys who'd appreciate a lead. Gordo

you're welcome, hope it gets you the right info.

shadow: If you are near your bloomberg, go to the equity, hit f2 (help) twice. From there you can send the help desk an inquiry and ask them about it's use and calculation. They are usually helpful and hopefully will provide you with what you need to know. HTH Gordo
