lol, to me this is the easy way out. You take the security of a pay check and stability. An aspiring trader takes risk, gets no pay check, have all the downside risk, has to struggle to develop and backtest strategies and must also handle the stress of trading. THAT is an effort. If you think...

Forget it. If we are 10 000 people here, there are 50 who average above half a million? Divide that by 5, transfer the remaining to the paesants.

See comments above. I went the same route as you. I am doing mine on hedge fund replication. I use a new factorial model and I will had a little taste to all that. In my opinion you have the following choices; 1- Do something that is interesting to you. 2- Do something that a teacher already...

3 fills, 2 longs, 1 short, 3 winners, +0.05 average. Larger on longs. Back on green for the month.

This morning is because I got too many bad fills and wanted to stop the bleeding. I usually dont cancel them unless the ES moved a lot and I think my orders are too far away from the real time FV. When I cancel them it's because I want to start trading something else. I also noticed that I...

The reason why this is not a zeros sum game. You forgot to mention that on top of that you have to pay the internet, computers and in the end taxes.

It's funny when you think about it. That NYSE admission is laughable. It's like making the list of players at the masters tournament and not realising that Tiger is not on the list. Oh yeah, we forgot that kid.

Passing CMC:SRS and JBHT:WERN but following.

9 fills, all shorts, 6 winners, 2 losers, 1 flat, +0.05 average. Larger on longs. Huge drawdown but waited and closed well. Cancelled all at 9:33, too many red fills at once. 5 in oil, even if I make the adjustment for the CL. Still on red for the month, but close to even.

YES. If they get the money in. We should remember that at the begining the governement was giving the money with no strings attached. They would ave been fool to refuse it.

This can work but it's not tick data per se.

People got used to bailout :cool:

And you pay the T-bill rate on the margin, :D

If your using it in TWS and not in an API you should be fine. You can route to the exchange that provide the rebate you want. I usually route to ARCA when I can. There is still the minimum per order of 70 cents so if you only trade 100 shares the rebate may not look big. Make sure you read...

No fills. Upped volume on some over the week end.

"During 1929, realized volatility peaked at 68%" http://online.barrons.com/article/SB122731156668449361.html I'm sure the older guys told themself that they would never see that again. We may not see it, but it can happen.
