First day at the new office. setting up keys and layout, small size. Should be more with rebates, still need to get the commisions/fees included in total.

As far as I know swift and title do not charge a "fee" to trade with them, but that may differ from branch to branch.

Do any prop firms that require a deposit ask for minimum volume or trades per day. I experienced this when I started prop trading for a Canadian prop shop, no deposit of course. They would tell me that I need to make at least 50 trades a day. Fast forward to today. I look for setups that...

You know me too well. But you right its just a guess.

Post a blotter or this journal means nothing.

Well last time i checked taking a shit is not a performance oriented activity. But if there was a competition for the cleanest ass using the least mount of toiler paper: Using the right toilet paper is an edge. Using more paper when your shits are bigger is an edge. Using less paper...

Sounds like you are looking to intraday trade, either swing or scalp. If your looking to swing, you account isnt big enough to withstand drawdown, and you will blow out your account before you have the chance to learn anything. If you are looking to scalp then join a no deposit prop...

When you have your edge, you will know. You will not know any time before. Its like a "Eureka" moment. And everything you thought you knew about trading gets thrown out the window. I looked for an edge in all the wrong places. Just like that holy grail system that promises instant...

care to pm me the name of this prop shop. I've been looking at some Canadian prop firms and perhaps you can save me from the same fate.

Try Forex. But not the junk passing as a no dealing desk broker. A true ECN style broker can provide quotes from most major dealers with some of the tightest spreads, sometimes your choice spreads. You can use most order types, 24 hour market. Do you like to trade around a position...

I have a question regarding dark pools and exiting positions. Example : BAC is trading at 13.05 x 13.06 I go long a sizable position and the market trades higher. BAC is now trading at 13.09 x 13.10 Now at this point I post up my offer to exit my longs at 13.10, but so is the...

I am a believer that the market should define your stop. I use dynamic stops because sometimes the trade only requires a 2 dollar stop and other trades require a 90 cent stop. But regardless of the stop size you should only be risking 1 percent, 5 percent max size on each trade.

If the liquidity is there I would recommend it over spot forex. Down with the bucket shops!

cnbc was a few seconds slower than the squawk I use to get the news about the Ken Lewis comments out. Lucky I had just covered a short position on FCX before that stock spiked upside along with the rest of the market. At least have cnbc on while you trade. or check out...

I have a question in regards to the stocks you trade and how you look at volume/T&S. It is said that volume moves price, and we definitely want to ride the coat tails of the institutional buyers/sellers. I do this by looking at the prints to see who the aggressive buyers/sellers are when we...

FCX smoked me today! I hit my daily shut down by 10 AM on 3 trades!!. Completely broke my rules and didn't wait for proper setups, just got caught chasing like an amatuer. I deserved it! I hope you have better luck wrestling this beast. I looked at CAT and that thing is a monster today...

downloading now! thanks, and I will seed once im done., its always best to give then to receive.

whatever your decision I hope you don't regret it on your deathbed. I have accepted the fact that if I die penniless and alone, but never regretted taking the chance, then I will die a happy man.

1 min 3 min 5 min I like the 5 min the best especially on choppy/breakout days. Don't even need indicators just play the support/resistance.
