    Best platforms for size trading on news?

    IMHO, and no disrespect to the brokers you mention, but neither would even be considered in the institutional market, which is what our friend appears to be alluding to. Perhaps he is trading in spot and efping into futures?

    Moving to NYC from Australia - Info

    Why doesnt our young Oz friend simply find a building with high speed cable or even fiber to live in and trade from his apartment? It'll be worth the extra bucks and once he makes his fortune, he can buy something bigger, or nicer, and get a stripper or model girlfriend, like everyone else does.

    Salute.

    Dude-- We've all been there, yesterdays action in QM was a brokers dream -- hit all the long AND short stops in 10 minutes. IMHO, if I may make a suggestion, you may want to re-read what Jesse Livermore once said about losses -- view them as paying tuition and learn something. Otherwise...

    who thinks the BIDU p&d was not planned.

    I dont get it. You're long X shares at Y dollars, the stock runs up, you short it, as you have the shares from your options exercise, you simply deliver them against your sale, book the $95 bucks and move on. If you cover your so-called short, you remain long at the exercise price. Correct?

    Hhmmm, maybe he can borrow an office in the Bloomberg building and live in a cardboard box in the subway. That would keep expenses down.

    The importance of 'ping' - latency/connection speed in trading.

    Try this website - http://www2.dslreports.com/ Then go buy Cisco routers, high end modems and ask your ISP about guaranteeing service times.

    long-rumored "Plunge Protection Team," True or not True

    The good thing about conspiracy theory is that no theory is too preposterous to write. But basically, y'all want the Fed or whoever to step aside and allow volatility and rumor to run the market, right? If that happens, I bet the rumor mongers step in and chime together that the Fed is...

    long-rumored "Plunge Protection Team," True or not True

    Fred gave away the double secret location, uh oh. Next thing you know, another anti-PPT poster will exhort us to buy gold because they KNOW its going to $950 an ounce shortly. This is really gonna get ugly soon. I'm gonna go paint my windows black, disconnect my phone and stock up on water...

    Best NY bars for Trader Groupies women??

    Gold diggers can be a lot of fun - they're always available on short notice, know the best bars and look good. Of course, if you want to talk about anything beyond a third grade level, its impossible. But sometimes, you feel like going to Burger King and not a 4 star place. Monkey Bar on...

    long-rumored "Plunge Protection Team," True or not True

    I heard the PPT Team seeks out those who want to expose it and run their stops every day. Then they secretly add MSG to your food to drive you nuts. Then when no one is looking, they either steal one of your socks out of the dryer or use the last piece of toilet paper and dont change the role...

    The importance of 'ping' - latency/connection speed in trading.

    FWIW, when my ping times exceed 50ms, I am at a complete disadvantage to other scalpers. Dont forget, you're competeing with folks who are on fiber.
