    Daytrading the SPY or QQQ...?

    i have to say i'm a bit confused too. the thread starts off asking how to trade the qqq,spy...now you're saying you don't care if you make $ or not..you just want it for your volume? why not just up the volume on your current strategy...on your current stox? I mentioned the hedge in my first...

    Kastro- no offense but if you think that Emini is a broker then you should not even consider trading anything but baseball cards until you do some serious homework. just trying to save you $....but if you insist then I'll be happy to take the other side from you. uptik

    Daytrading the SPY or QQQ...?

    IMO, DAY trading the qqq or spy is a little too difficult for a few reasons. 1) the range is small....so to make good $ intraday you need to move some decent size, and if you're at a pro firm and you're paying per share you're already at a disadvantage 2)everybody is trading them...which again...

    Bright Vs Echo

    What happened to Cramer's portfolio?

    I like Jim..but he's lost his edge. From '88 to 2000, everyone made $......it's now that seperates the boys from the men. Cramer's got a loud mouth...except when it has to do with is losses.

    Bright Vs Echo

    strange how the 2 people who post that they have trouble with echo are new members here. almost makes you wonder if they're not fakes trying to toss mud. I've been on this board for a year or so....I've met or talked(phone) to many people on this board..so one can see I have no bias. I traded...

    Shorting The Qqq's/spy's On Island

    I've never had a problem selling the qqq short on island one thing to consider(i don't know if this applies to retail accts) because of the uptik exemption, there is no need to actually hit your "sell short" button...just sell.....so just hit the bids

    Todd Harrison is returning soon...

    that site looks like it'll be cool(unless they charge an arm and a leg) I made money off Todd's journals last year ..mostly from his mid-day notes of feeling more downside/upside. glad he's coming back.

    What is a trader career like?

    if you're a broker making decent $..start trading (swing or day) from your office if you can. If you work at a big wire house you can open an acct with no transaction fees and just pay yourself 1% on the assets. try that for a while, get some newbie guy to do your cold calling or whatever and if...
