To all who have posted anything useful in this thread...I thank you. I have already gotten more out of this question than I had anticipated. For those of you who thought it was a silly question to ask, I guess you won't get anything out of the postings here. Your loss. As Trader101...

Many things to post on this one.... First, as for Don bright posting negative comments or wanring about other firms, I appreicate it. Read them with a grain of salt and you will probably begin to understand what really happens at these daytrading firms, including Bright. It's ok that Don...

It seems Im the first one who seems to know the background of the guys who started Lions Trading. Im surprised Don has not heard of them because Im sure they must have shopped around when they left Worldco. There are many guys who is involved with that venture, Dave Perrault being the main...

LOL...No..Im not looking for the holy grail. I do fine without the help of others as far as trading is concerned. All I was looking for was any hints others might be able to provide in trading these particular stocks...SPY and QQQ...not on trading in general. For example, someone...

Trading these futures is not a possibility for me since my firm does not allow futures trading. Only equities. Im just interested in learning a method to trade the SPY or QQQ's intra day. SOMEbody must be making a living doing this??

Any of the Archepelago commericals. The worst rot eh most annoying..is Stweart.

Is there any software that is good at helping traders with pure intra day trading strategies (better yet - tick to tick trading)?? Scalping perhaps?

OK..Here is a question that nobody has been able to answer. When you read the papers and see an ad that says "20% return last year"..or something like that, it's rather easy to calculate: You start with $100, make $25 at end of 12 months, your ROE or perforamce is 25%. But for many daytraders...

Has anyone figured out a way to profitably daytrade the index stocks? Anything wold be helpful. Technical analysis.. any software (such as Trade Station)... anything to help me trade them profitablly. Im not looking for big moves or big profits - I want to make just enough to cover my...

Im not sure how much other professional daytraders make...I have heard that #1 guy at Schonfeld made $20M (his take) 2 yeara ago. Schonfeld is big on overnight positions...and swing trading...so maybe that worked well 2..3..4 years ago. DOnt know how well he did last year. Further, I am...

Everything depends on money of course.... Probably the best way to find out is to read one of those PC mags.... I use seven 17" Samsung 171s. Not the best, but does the job. I dont know how much this cocts since the firm provides me with it. I use 2 Matrox G200 MMS video card with 4 ports...

I have 7 monitors....Have about 100 stock quotes.....8 charts... 4 news windows, AIM, Neovest First Alert filter (with just NYSE stocks), an execution system, a live P&L blotter and couple of I.E. pages open..... Im on Road Runer cable with "up to" 1.5M/down, 356K up. I usually dont get that...

I odnt know what type of trades you folks do...but I dont think I made 5 trades total in last 6 months after 10:30 AM. 99.9999% of all my trades (and money) are made first 60 minutes of the open. I only trade listed stocks if that makes any difference. For the life of me, I can not seem to...

I dont have the mouse set at maximum acceleration...but many times, I just dont need to move it fast. Suffice it to say, it's been a real hassle. There's got to be a way to fix this problem. It may be a Windows 2000 Professional problem or the Matrox driver bug. By the way, I did not have...

I have 7 - 17" Samsung flat Screen monitors and use 2 Matrox G200 MMS video card to hook them up. I'm having a problem where the cursor gets "stuck" at edge of each screen when I ams SLOWLY moving it horizontally across. Moving it up and down between my top row and bottom row is no problem...
