Doubt brokers split commish with dealers. What u get is a salary and u prolly need to do some training (provided by the firm) before u start quoting prices.

U are partly right here, but it has been discussed already and many of the points made (look at ym thread) gave me a change of heart: the majority of traders are not willing to trade your ideas because either don't believe u or they are too lazy or skeptical, and even if they would, sure they...

As of late, because CPU on my pc is always maxed, I cannot load up charts and have to trade without them: What u see on charts is what u see on price; and it's more the case if u trade the open, where charts are useless (hoping of course u can remember what happened 5min earlier). Charts don't...

We already know earnings are gonna disappoint; after the overdue and overdone selling of last week I expect traders to adjust their expectations exactly like they did last year during the same period. Keep in mind that so far 2/3 of the companies listed on the SP have beaten estimates, so...

fascination with the dead and famous. :p

Why on earth was my post deleted? It seems to me, although he was looking for the last unread posts, that he wasn't aware it is possible to read the last post by clicking the grey arrow; did I say something wrong? :confused: :confused:

Plenty of gamblers at the close making substantial bets on goog calls far out the money.

I don't know why but it's easier to spot mistakes after seeing the posting gone through and after some time has elapsed. Also (in my case) I realize, most of the times after quite a while, I left out information that are important and that show coherence only in the contest of the original...

Yeah, I tried to make a case for trading the open since I registered here. Everyone should have realized that before they even started trading; big movers are in front of u every single day: stalk them and try to understand the best way to take advantage of these large percentage gains, they are...

Opening range trades are statistically the most profitable: not to take advantage of the volatility present @open is just plain silly: r/r soon after the bell is at the highest and if u manage your trades well, getting rid of losses quick and letting profits to run, u'll be very profitable. Care...

maintenance costs and repairs are the biggest problems u have to deal with when u own and manage a lot of proprieties; central heating malfunctions, broken pipes, insulation, drainage, fixtures and roof repairs can put an enormous strain on your finance if u don't have cash flow and took full...

I am not sure now but when I tested, demo data on futures seemed fabricated to me: very often I encountered moves or 10-20 handles on spoos during extended hours for no apparent reason and in less than 20min. More of a motivation to open an account if u want to test strategies; take advantage...

I luv the stock and r/r for longs has been unbeatable for years on aapl. I cannot think of a better stock to hold overnight, especially after report with blowout numbers. Those down gaps are rare to come by as are analysts downgrades: risk is concentrated on the upside. If anything, gaps down...

why would u have to trade 1000shares on aapl to make money? 30-50 shares are more than enough if u are inexperienced and make 5-6 rt. Also aapl is one of the easiest stocks to trade @open on the long side and liquidity is plenty there to get out if u are wrong: I know the stock inside out and...

I think no more than 2.

What can we do? Nobody wants to listen..... :(

You can always trade options if u lack BP, and I would recommend them anyways because of interest rates margin repayments... ...of course if u have a couple of millions in your account there shouldn't be any problem :p

K :) Still, for us stock traders there aren't many opportunities to get 20-50% moves and if aapl and goog begin to falter I'll be in big, big trouble! I am a buy side trader by the way.

That's very odd, booktrader default configuration doesn't allow for multiple untrasmitted orders. Are u sure you didn't change the settings?

What about aapl then? It's more then three years that keeps running, doubling in value every 8 months or so.
