Cable lags are much more often and bigger. Go for wired DSL if possible!!! Unless like dandxg said you swing instead of daytrade.

It's a pain in the ass form and if you don't fill out properly they will return it to you as many times as needed and will lock your account if you don't submit it on time. Don't miss the cut or you will get your profits cut by 15%. You should have until end of year. Sorry I don't have a copy of...

Does anybody know how to ping the nyse order servers? As a scalper, I think it matters if you can get your hands on the most reliable internet setup you can afford and wireless is definitely not an option imo. I am talking from a scalper point of view doing several trades a day (50+ trades)...

Would you be able to explain how to run such ping test? I am particularly interested in getting data for NYSE servers.

777, ob has no delay...at least not a 10 sec delay and I find it very important if you want to scalp listed stocks. It looks like you don't have it but I'd recommend it.

ck, I just joined a prop firm 2 months ago and the criteria I used to pick them was (in order of importance): 1. Successful mentors 2. Solid training 3. Tools 4. Commission 5. Payout If your prop firm can offer these within reasonable standards, then go for it otherwise look...

Check your trading software. They might have an upgraded version that tells you which stocks are hybrids...real time of course.

I am a scalper and have been following the hybrids very closely. I think we will all get used to trading them and things should be fine. It will be a bit tougher and things will move faster but I think we'll all adapt. The hybs charts look horrible but I think it's because people are adapting to...

Yes you can, put up your own cash and become a customer!!!

Excellent point Arnie!

Yeah but this is not a bubble.

Sorry, don't see it crashing without really bad news coming in. NYSE volume picked up nicely today just breaking 3bil shares so volume is very assuring. I think it has guns to touch 12k and when it does, I'd re-evaluate.

I don't get your point garfangle. The majority of traders fail period. Regardless of whether you are trading prop, retail, direct, most fail. Statistically, trading is a fool's game and honestly I think the best way to start is to fund an account at a reputable prop company that will provide you...

Well, in that case, I'd rather play with something that is trending!

My concern with investing in Brazil is that foreign money is pouring into the country making its currency stronger and consequently hurting the export biz which we so much depend on. Who is going to buy our sugar when our currency appreciates another 50% on top of soon to be inflated sugar...

Yeah, but I just want to meet the profitable ones who can teach me their secrets so that should bring the count down to what...4ish??? :) :) I think we should just let the list grow a bit and then set up a place/time to meet. Shall we give the thread another week? :)

Sign me up! Anybody else...

Brand new to NYC. Anybody organizing future meetings...

I am from near Sao Paulo but just moved to NY a couple of days ago. Bummer but maybe next time. Few ETers from Brazil I guess. Enjoy the country and let me know if you need any info. The Bovespa has a visitor's program so make sure you check them out if you are in Sao Paulo...
