Ok serious question here from a up and coming n00b. I keep searching for ways to capture nice moves of 1 point plus in stocks. I read from the "hard core" day traders that they usually make just a few pennies per trade sometimes as much as a dime or 2. So is my search of trying to time the...

I use Alaron's platform called CQG. It is my first platform and its very basic as far as features are concerned but its free. One thing though its very fast from my understanding and very reliable. If I click buy market, I am filled by the time my finger is finished with the click. If it...

I pay 3.80 per RT through a broker at alaron. I get that rate and anyone that I refer to him will get that rate for trading the emini's. Not sure about any other rates other then the mini's though. The broker is the nicest guy in the business I have met and answers all questions. My volume...

I plan on joining Bright since they are local and seem to have as good of reputation as anyone in this business can have. I heard there fees are on the higher end but I am still learning so I expect to pay a little more but never heard much on the negative side other then they are expensive.

Why do you feel that its ok for daytrading equities for 50k but when a prop firm gives you more money to trade with now that you are going to bleed your account? I am about to join a prop firm so would like to know why you feel like this.
