    canadian prop firms

    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.

    Trade Minimums/Volume Minimums at Prop Firms.

    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...

    What is an edge?

    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...

    Starting from scratch

    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...

    What is an edge?

    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...

    Other high leverage products like the ES???

    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...

    How muc do most let a swing trad go against you?

    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.

    Spike in BAC volume @ 3:00

    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...

    my lake

    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...

    my lake

    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...

    Throwing in the towel before I even traded 1 share

    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.

    best time frame for day trading?

    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.
