30:1 intraday, 5:1 overnight. Don't see myself going anywhere else. Been there just over 3 years now.

I'm a very hard working cheesehead who was scared shitless that the profits on his shorts were going to evaporate in one five minute upmove today, but was able to deal with that fear and cover at the close. Caveat: I'd be screwed if I wasn't working on a good team. I probably would have...

If you have to ask this question, I would suggest you pick up Natenberg and McMillian as fast as you can and read..... :eek: [/B] what about Budwick? :p

cash or futures?

Great thread. One q though. I was following a gentleman in a room a few months ago (you are obviously not him due to the voice and the instrument you trade) who would be very consistent for weeks at a time, but he wouldn't cut his losses on a trending day. He would subsequently give up...

Please do not get the Q. I just got one in November and it is horrible. The other day, on CNBC, they were mentioning how PDA's used to funtion as though you were on an old computer with a dial up connection. If you're OK with how an old PDA works, then get a brand new Q. You get what you...

Yup. It'll take alot of 30 centers to make that back.

he's on the phone with the xchange. the last new york print was literally one second after he got filled on his short. I highly doubt if it'll get broken though.

could be worse. a guy in my office got short at 36.5 with an automated program. covered just before it was halted.

The new study guide is online. Interesting how some of the traditional investment info is now considered to be a pre req, instead of being part of the exam. New hedge fund material as well, which seems like it may add to the quant side. Time to study.

Yes, a bit crude. Sorry. I really shouldn't post after watching college ball at the bar. But it still goes.:cool:

I don't need to see any more of this thread other than the title. Richard Dennis said that you could publish the rules of a proven system in the Wall Street Journal (I capitalize under protest) and most people would find a way to f.... it up (paraphrazing) You new bastards, look at some of...

Just a background check as far as I know. Makes sure you haven't robbed any banks or committed securities fraud in the past. Actually, someone else may be able to shed some light on whether or not you're able to obtain a 7 after bankruptcy. I know there is an issue if you already have your...

Jessica, In fairness I should say that the squawk guy in the big pit is pretty good. It seems like it would be pretty handy if you could use the noise level on the floor to your advantage. But as far as the news reader service goes, it just seems like you'd be better off staring at the DJ...

I cancelled a while back. also cancelled need to know news. worthless. What'd they do now?

Third pivot?

This probably isn't 100% relevant, but when it comes to what hard work actually is, I found this very interesting. http://www.fastcompany.com/online/69/sgodin.html

Props to Optioncoach and the whole Credit spread gang. A great education indeed. Also, thanks to Don and all of the OPG guys for keeping that thread up to speed, especially with the hybrids throwing a wrench into the works. Merry Christmas to all!

Gnome, I just ugraded my vid card but am still just running 2 monitors. I've been told that if I want to run 4, all I need to do is get another card, as long as it's the EXACT same vid card. Has this been your experience? Thx
