You've come to the right place, there is a lot of good info and smart people here. A lot of noise too but just like the markets I guess :)

Ok sorry, its just your posts are incredibly similar. Plus Eagle488 stopped posting on Dec 25th and you started Dec 27th. Just figured maybe he changed names for some reason.

How come you stopped posting under "Eagle488"? (Just curious)

Yes, prop firms been banned here in the US, along with cigarettes, alcohol, red meat and homosexuality :D. Kidding of course, dude there are TONS of prop firms in the US. Search this site and you'll find a big list.

Hey, if the NYSE wants to drive out all the daytraders, the very traders that provide liquidity and allow large institutions and funds to liquidate their positions, its going to come back and bite them in the ass. As daytraders, we are looking for edges and opprtunities to fill our pockets but...

probably meant .015/share, or $15.00/1000 shares traded. sounds more like a brand new trader deal (although pretty shitty regardless)

Whoops, sorry for butting my nose in then. I really should just stick to what I know :D

I'm pretty sure the whole point of why they do this is to take advantage of an opening orders "edge" for NYSE. I dont know for sure, but my impression is routing to INET would probably be worthless as the edge lies in NYSE opening fills? just a guess, I'm sure Don or whoever will clear that up.

If you can afford to put up money, do it! Otherwise you'll most likely get a "deal" where your costs are much higher than they should be. The firms justify this b/c they are giving you risk capital (you wouldnt be able to trade otherwise). If you cant afford to put up your own risk capital, you...

Ok, maybe it does! Also, didnt the native Americans sell Manhattan for some beads and trinkets? That wasnt such a good deal either :D

I dont think it gets any worse :)

I was trading ACI last year, I think maybe July or something, and I got printed 500 shares by the specialist, $1.05 out of the money. Literally, it was my 500 shares and another 300 shares far out of the money. I had to double check to see what had happened b/c it was odd and I saw my fill was...

It was an honest mistake, I was just kidding around with ya :)

Weird, cause I'd be 7 years younger! :D

How is you taking advantage of market inefficiencies trading the way you trade any different than a NYSE trader taking advantage of inefficiencies trading the way they do?

You wrote "Why were you not telling us to get in over the summer?" My point is...he did! I agree its probably not brains, rather a bull market but that wasnt my arguement.

Um, perhaps you should do some research before posting this. I dont think there is another poster on this entire site who has been more bullish than stock trad3r. He has been ultrabullish for 6 months now. He certainly was right about the market (although a lot of his trades were horrendously...

why would you want to leave?

Personally, there arent many books that I have read that I would say will help you be a better daytrader (I have read many books related to trading). The best books I have read deal with the right mindset rather than a specific trading strategy. My recommendation has been posted ad nausem here...

Wrong.
