Don't remember, but you can google them...they were reasonable, but not as cheap as IB etc. http://tinyurl.com/2c7xbvr

The only indicator I use is price. Then optimize around buy points and stop losses, etc. In other words, I don't use oscillators, MA's, Fib's, etc. I'm not smart enough to make use of them, I guess. Whenever I try, I end up chasing my tail or see horrendous whipsaws, etc.

Well, then, there's your problem, you were using lagging indicators. As for me, I use price data. Indicators are too subjective...

Dr Pepper, What do you do for a living? I'm guessing it's not washing dishes or selling oranges on the corner, right? Look, if you were a white collar professional who recently was laid off, would you take a minimum wage job? Would it really help the economy to have a 50 year old MBA from...

You might try two things. Check out Alliance Trader. They're in Jamaica. You can open a day trading account with 2000 and get 4:1 leverage and trade all you want. I tried them and was a bit nervous, but they were very responsive with every 'ting mon! Seriously, you're basically wiring...

Yeah, what he said... A sytem that is back tested properly will hold up during walk forward analysis as it is tantamount to papertrading. A system that does not should be tossed. It's pretty simple. A system that doesn't work after preliminary backtesting isn't likely to have robust...

Actually, it's not that easy for the illegals right now either. From what I understand...when things are tough for the "Americans" they spend less money on the very products and services that illegals work at providing. When you lose your job, for example, you decide that you don't really...

Your ignorance is showing, my friend. Your statement shows clearly that you do NOT understand out of sample testing, robust parameters, etc. If you are curvefitting, then you're doing it wrong.

“I have warned against averaging losses. That is a most common practice. Great numbers of people will buy a stock, let us say at 50, and two or three days later if they can buy it at 47 they are seized with the urge to average down by buying another hundred shares, making a price of 48.5 on...

Buy Pardo's book for more detail.

Because most americans are more qualified than the average illegal alien and can do more than simply operate a leaf blower. And, thanks to the illegals, the wages for the low skilled jobs are too low to bother with...

I agree with Sun Light, it's hard enough making money trading as it is, having to overcome a 20% handicap will be nigh impossible. I'm still not really clear on when/how the 20% is calculated... Perhaps Don could shed some light on this? As to the advantage of the live chat with all of...

Observations of a n00b... Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that Maverick tortured small animals as a child? Watching him repeatedly poke and prod Don while Don squirms, quite frankly, uncomfortable. One also gets the feeling that Maverick started this whole thing with the...

Being new to this forum, is Maverick's firm not known? From the tone, I thought he was at another prop firm. BTW, as per my other post (Which the admins delayed in actually posting for almost a day due to my newness) I am in the process of joining Bright, I'd love a PM or two from those there...

Wow, I'm in the process of joining Bright as we speak. I'm signed up for the Sept class and just got my registration packet friday--currently studying for the Series 7. Needless to say, I'm a bit dismayed to have found this out on an online forum. Now I'm not sure what to do. On the...
