    Going for prop money

    The problem is most PROP SHOPS teach NOTHING, but how to execute a trade, with the software. How many times have you heard "SINK or SWIM" in this industry. Its another thing if you happen to already know how to trade or study on your own, or have a mentor. The other thing against prop...

    Going for prop money

    Prop Trading is so over with, unless you got some sweet heart deal with the BD or Hedge Fund that you are trading with. You cannot even learn under the circumstances that you are put in at that prop shop. They are opening Prop Trading in 3rd World Countries now, if that tells you anything.

    Is Scalping possible?

    Everybody argues about the definition of scalping. My mentor said that is what I do, and I am pretty much doing the same as you. My daily goal is 20 to 30 pips. And my mentor has steered me away from Futures simply saying you don't need the distraction. Trade 4 currency pairs and...

    You need to ask yourself do you really want to cold call and prospect. Or do you want to learn the trading end of the business. If you really don't want to do this. Get into operations at a Online firm, or work at a local Scottrade Office, base salary, and you will learn the trading end...

    Forex day trading

    Forex does not have a Day Trading Rule, unless its a house rule of a Forex Dealer, but I have not run into any dealer with such a rule. The Stock Pattern Day Trading Rule is silly, in that, in a truely Free Market you are going to limit trading activity based on account size? For the good of...

    Forex day trading

    You guys need to WEEN yourself off the SEC dogma of Leverage is bad. Leverage is bad for people who think they are going to go into a profession like Trading WITHOUT any Instruction or Education. Education and Training make the difference, just like you would not try and fly an airplane...
