I planning on the goldenarm - lescor range. Would be happy with 100k, would be very happy with 150k. So far the year has started out quite well...

If you trade with a Series 7/55 are you considered a professional user with eSignal (and other packages)? If so has anoyne here signed up as a professional? Cost difference...?

There wasn't anything apparent to me. Redi has a ton of functions, but most are useless for my style of trading. I'm sure there were some new functions that I didn't see.

I used it for about a week. The main problems I found were DDE/ActiveX problems, screwy T&S data, and they removed the button on the L2 order entry to mark all sales on 'auto' (to avoid having to mark short sales 'short'). Redi tech told me they removed that option because "it never really...

My guess for the average account size on ET would be about $30k. If that's true, why would it be so hard to believe that 27 people were able to make $45k or more???

You have to take into consideration that probably most 100%+ returns are on small accounts. It's not hard to make 100%+ on a $30k account. A better poll would be how much everyone made in $ terms.

I was audited this year due to a mistake by an old broker. My father had tried daytrading in 1999, and I was an authorized trader on the account. Well, the morons reported all of the trades in my name, and in 2000 were shut down by the SEC (for many reasons). I was able to obtain the...

Ditto...no problems here.

From IB user manual: Market-on-close (MOC) ...Currently only NYSE and AMEX support native MOC orders. For equities traded on NYSE or AMEX, you can route the order direct to the exchange, or through IB's Smart Order routing. For all other destinations, IB will simulate this order type by...

You would think they would, but after numerous requests all I can get is "It's on the list, but not a priority." Really frustrating...

Get the e-mini book (lack of a better word) so you can see the speed and size of bids/offers/trades.

Just remember that THC denied rumors at first too...

For the past 3 years I made about 80% of my profits in only 3 months. Once my system starts to deteriorate I get back to the grind of looking for something new.

I have to agree with Lescor...this past month has been extremly tough. I have automated alerts for all my trades. In Aug-Sept I got about 100 alerts every day. I was disappointed if I didn't make a grand. These past weeks I get about 20 alerts, and I'm lucky if I capitalize on two of them...

That's why you're a daytrader. Cut the spread in half...take some risk and make some money. The idea of a computer keeping inventory at one price doesn't make sense for an auction market.

I have called him much worse names on more than a few occasions...gave up trading him a couple months ago.

You are going to have worse results as your size increases, but I would try NX limits to reduce slippage.

Is all SSF trading done at 4:02 est? No after hours...?

InvestorRT has a function called Tick Velocity that can do that. www.linnsoft.com

At this stage in the game your very best option is to go prop. The only excuse not to is laziness or lack of discipline to get the license.
