    What am I not seeing?

    Cash when you layer a trade to add the same amount of shares to both sides? Example... 500 long SPY 500 short MDY.... moves against you... Add 500 shares each?

    Is tape reading going to be dead?

    Well I am in a class right now and we are discussing a brief overview of what day trading is all about. Seemed the core method of trading at this place "as I assume all day-trading firms" is basically Time and Sales and volume and being able to interpret them to make a logical choice on when...

    Should I go Prop?

    Well it seems to me that the way I learned a lot of things was by watching other people. Take my current job as a casino dealer as example. Moved to vegas with 800 bucks in my pocket. Signed up for a dealing school and got a 1 bedroom studio in the worst part of vegas. Learned the basics...

    Should I go Prop?

    Well the problem I have with it is that it just seems "too easy" to be a good system. Also with no way of back testing it who knows if in the long run I'll make any money. Plus it brings me back to where I am now. I don't have a solid foundation of the stock market. I never sat next to a...

    Should I go Prop?

    Ok here is the situation. I know you all heard it before but I feel everyone that posts this question has a different situation so there is no "answer" to everyones question. I am trying to learn how to day trade since I don't have a lot of faith in my future earnings as a casino dealer. I...

    Thanks for all you views on this trade. I did close out the postition for a very small gain. I forgot the most important rule. Trade with the trend. Was my first day with IB and was trigger happy. Glad it wasn't a expensive lesson. Hopefully I'll have a better trade to post next week...

    just went long IBM.. anyone hate that trade?

    I put in my order when the price was at 77.60 and I put it in saying... Buy limit price of 77.70 and I watched it hit 77.70 and then my order was executed. Check the price and I was filled at 77.58. I take it that, that isn't very normal.... Am I correct?

    just went long IBM.. anyone hate that trade?

    Just a 1-3 swing trade... Profit not set in stone but if I get a buck in profit then I'll adjust the stop and try and run it up and get out based off my strategy on moving averages
