The photo was doctored by one blockhead individual with an agenda. Editors don't have the luxury of wide peer review over a span of days to catch every potential photo manipulation out there. It's a churn machine of instant data. Unfortunately, those neurotic individuals who believe they...

Look into a proprietary trading account to bypass the pdt rule. Put up 10k or so. Check with a firm like Genesis or Echo.

Great thread, as I was wondering the same things. Never seen anyone trade like that, especially intraday only, so naturally it made me extremely curious to see what was your psychological and professional "education." My BIG question though has to do with your awareness of your depression...

You will learn useful perspectives on trading and the industry from following threads and comments by people like acrary (gone now), OldTrader (mostly gone), FaderTrader, Maverick74 on occasion, Hydroblunt, Don Bright, riskarb, NihabaAshi sometimes, etc. Several other ones I can't think of. I...

It is interesting. I wasn't suspecting this kind of action. My suspicion is that it might have been priced in already. Big hands possibly took their positions during that sharp spike up on... I forgot which Fed date it was... but it was noticeable intraday. I suppose I'd get more bullish...

Just like driving a car. You basically have to run on auto for such a tight time frame. Always good to keep expanding your field of observation and upping the challenge factor.

What you really came here to say is that you have low self-esteem and you feel empowered by imagining you can be the source of someone else's paranoia. The term is <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ressentiment>ressentiment</a>. People like you embody some of the uglier traits of...

Ancient cultures fetishized numbers and cycles with mystical relevance, as myth was the only justification they had to account for prediction. Error in knowledge stems from extending significance outside of its domain. That said, I say deal. I will personally end the world myself on that date.

It's a lot easier to have unattainable hopes than to do the hard work of actually setting pragmatic goals and achieving them. When you fail in the first instance, it's no big deal. In the second, you feel real pain. Setting unattainable goals is actually a way of doing nothing and not...

Actually you and he are talking about the same exact strategy.

megadon ... you have clearly lost ... your mind. i will have to send ... you ... some CDs in ... order to fine tune your ... taste. For instance, I'd imagine you'd be an enormous Mindless Self Indulgence fan.

So true. Confidence, and the proper resistance to the pain of error. Time and time again the truly successful people I've seen have those two traits. And I don't define successful in monetary terms, but in terms of mastery of any life-long activity that gives pleasure and fulfilment and all...

As usual, note that this is another shill for some software/program/training, etc. Text: I can double my money in 2 weeks by working at home!!! Subtext: And so can you if you buy my product!!! Call now!!!

The most common quote from Cheese would be which of the following: A. I admire your inventive approach to bracketing range-bound laggards in the homebuilders, and your recent choice to go all in on the reversal is probably right on. I think a long term trend change is imminent. Observe this...

And you disagreed with me, Mr. Cheese! :p

Sure thing. Efficiency and fairness rise with the transparency and proliferation of information.

It depends on how big your firm is: i.e. how much volume goes through the doors. The clearing firm usually has fixed costs in the range of .001 to .002. Everthing on top of that is profit. Multiply .0055 or .006 (.0075 - .0015) by your average daily volume and voila!

I'm sure you've produced good traders, just like every other "group" out there, and I'm sure there's always the standard 90% failure rate of everyone else. A red flag should come up in any serious potential trader's mind when they see someone defending .007+ commissions over a year or more by...

One of the best posts I've seen. :cool:

Good traders come out of every office out there, as they're the types who will succeed regardless. Doesn't change the fact that the standard sub-LLCs who endlessly hire the untrained are just middle men who chew em up on commissions. This is not a big secret.
