Thanks for the very interesting thread RM. Here's my $0.02, for what it's worth: $664,000 x 2 = $1,328,000 10% of $1,328,000 = $132,800 20% of $1,328,000 = $265,600 $132,800 - $265,600 per year = very nice living (for doing what you like). 10%-20% per year shouldn't be that...

How much naked intraday leverage is available at Bright?

I'd rather go with Tremolo Trading in Austin or Univibe Partners out of Seattle.

Is JBO leverage advantageous to equities traders?

Bingo! Thank you very much, that's what I was looking for. Thanks again!

...the site I'm looking for is somewhat similar to marketocracy.com, but you can subscribe to people's portfolios for a fee. The problem with marketocracy is that in order to be ranked, etc you have to play by their rules (e.g. diversification, no more than 25% in ETFs, no shorting). For...

I've seen it mentioned on ET a couple of times but neglected to bookmark it. It's a site where you can create your own portfolios and track their performance, and also subscribe to others' portfolios for a fee? Thanks for your help... Jammy

Thanks for all of the comments so far--this is very interesting. The big potential plus for prop trading stocks that this has underscored for me so far, and it's one that I think I agree with, is that stocks may in some sense be more forgiving than futures....but I also think that this sense...

I agree that the increments of scaleability/leverage are much finer with stocks than with futures--with futures you're working with larger chunks of capital for each increment that you scale. In other words, for say $50,000 in capital, daytrading futures you could work with a range of say...

You're right, I totally agree with this. As a practical matter however, I personally have a difficult time watching or trading more than one instrument at a time, and switching between instruments during the day only makes me lose my bearings. I would prefer to watch one instrument over...

Point well taken with much respect. I'm only looking at trading very liquid, well-known stocks or futures. Here's a recent video I saw that summarizes my views on this issue quite well (I have no affiliation with these guys, and I don't subscribe to their services, but they do have some...

After considering trading prop for some time now, I don't understand what the real appeal is given that you can retail daytrade futures with basically the same 20:1 margin that the average prop firm will only give you under very limited conditions AND if your trade fits within their strict risk...

Thanks for the comments, I'm checkout out zeroline and will probably do at least the 30 day trial. Thanks again, jimmy

Thanks for the response AOK. Yeah I'll probably just get Ninja, it seems to be really really good. Have you been using it for a long time?

Hello. I've been looking very closely at NinjaTrader and have been using the free version for a few weeks. Extremely impressed with the software, the customer service and the user forum. The one uncertainty I have is what about their DOM. I understand they have both the static and dynamic...

Thanks for the interesting witopia site...I'll keep it in mind for future reference, but of course when using a wi-fi hotspot, one could always just make a vpn connection to one's own network at home and then go out from there. That's all this site is doing. Do a google search for open vpn...

Can anyone recommend a good VPS for me to run my automated trades from? I just need to run TWS and Ninja on it simultaneously (so the VPS needs to be able to run with Windows), and be able to access and view the desktop via Remote Desktop and also via http or https in case I'm behind a...

Canyonman, thanks a lot for your feedback. Rereading my posts above, I don't want to come across as being too pointed or as trying to disparage CoolTrade or anyone there in any way whatsoever. It seems like a good platform and I'm sure their people are top notch. I don't actually have...

Can anyone tell me how well the Multicharts autotrading works right now?

Thank you very much Andrew. I understand that actually. Now that I see it, it is simple. I tried working with currentdate before but I was trying to add up the net profits from all the day's trades, but I couldn't figure out how to reference the individual trades. Obviously your way is much...
