What about UCO? I know this may sound off-topic but what if that one would be good for short term AND longer term holding?

I have 3 things to say. Number 1: Try to put yourself in a position where you are comfortable to trade. What do I mean by that? If you are working part time elsewhere to pay your bills, you won't be under so much pressure to trade well. It's much easier when you can concentrate on the...

I know this sounds off-topic, but aren't you concerned about what kind of fills you're going to get with odd-lots?

Thanks. Yeah, I just found a list. These are a cool idea. http://etf.stock-encyclopedia.com/category/leveraged-etfs.html I"m amazed PBW (the clean energy ETF) is down so far. EDIT: Too bad I can't find a global hedge fund ETF. I know hedge funds are limited to 99 investors but I saw...

Well, if you wanted to risk 2% per position, you could trade 50% of your money if you had a 4% stop (on your trade setup, assuming no leverage). I like John Carter' idea of determining the size of the stop based on your trade setup and THEN adjusting the amount of money you trade so you're only...

Gee, thanks for the replies. Yeah, actually, I had a preference for a site for pivot points since I know fib levels can be found on stockcharts.com (annotate).

Does that exist on a free website or would I need to use Fib levels? I decided it might be a way to "break up a large wave".

Can you use Ninjatrader with Forex?

Does anyone know of a demo account where you can change parameters as much as you want?

After hours maybe Forex is a good idea. I'm not into that yet though. I want to start using a trial demo account today to see what it's like.

Can a Canadian living in Canada open an account in the US?

Well, I mean I'm talking about larger moves on a 15 minute chart that could last several hours and possibly more than 2% moves (or 3%, 4% etc). In any case, even if I had more, right now I wouldn't trade with more until I've had sufficient real-world practice with the new method I developped.

Holy crap. I just noticed Questrade only charges $4.95 per trade and has a minimum of only $1000. That changes things a little. Gee.

I'm looking for a remote prop firm in Canada for a specific reason, I don't have $10,000 to open an account at Interactive Brokers and I want low commissions. However, I don't need the leverage when I start. I only want to start small with maybe 3 or 4 trades a day at most to start with...

How about a link? Do they do remote in Canada? Is series 7 required?

In some ways I was curious so I could answer people who ask me questions if I start in a prop firm.

Anyone have like some ballpark figures or you just never know for sure? I mean let's say you wanted to group people in different categories like loses, break even, $10,000 to $20,000 or $20,000 to $30,000 or $40,000 to $50,000 a year etc or more than $50,000. How many do you think would fall...

I want to get into prop to fine tune my trading. I got to a point where I'm calm enough to trade, I know what styles I want to trade... Actually, if you have to put down a few thousand deposit to trade with a lot more and less commission and the ability to work and talk with other traders, I...

equities or futures? For those who have worked in trading rooms with 100 or 200 people, what percentage earn a much higher amount?
