Don, I am not the originator of this post, but I am looking to clear some things up. As for my desire to make money, I have over 6 years of profitable NASDAQ trading experience -- that's not to say that I mind you discouraging others from stealing my edge. I have private messaged you...

Here's another question: If I employ a strategy in a joint trading account (LLC, etc.) that involves scalping, are the investors subject to the wash sale rule or is there a way for the company to elect MTM so that all losses are passed through to investors as well and deducted from gains?

Anyone out there know of a software package that provides real-time VWAP info that can be linked to excel? I know many have VWAP viewable on their market monitors, but I am looking to create a spreadsheet where the VWAP updates as well. I know that reuters has this but it is fairly...

Another book some of you might like is "The Millionaire Next Door". The name of the author escapes me right now, but it is a very interesting look at the average millionaire -- showing how the habits of those who are wealthy differ from the habits of those who earn alot but fail to retain...

I would advise you to do a search for Echotrade, read the forums, and come back with more specific questions.

I saw someone ask on this thread earlier about getting insurance through Bright. Do any of you know how much a family policy costs if obtained through Bright, and which company they use? Also does Echo offer group insurance as well?

Here's a scenario I'm curious about: I am a trader interested in the leverage a prop firm allows. I also have people who would like to invest with me. Are there any prop firms that an entity can join and get the same leverage as an individual? Also, if I am daytrading for myself as a...

Someone posted this - I thought it was "interesting." I do not know about the validity of it. Just FYI. http://www.daytradingstocks.com/ProTrader%20Firms.pdf FWIW, I will be joining prop soon. I currently trade using Direct Access (retail.)...

Has anyone ever heard of this site? Do you know how fast/reliable their data service is? This is one of the few services that provides a streaming VWAP data field. Does anyone know of another software package that provides a streaming/real-time VWAP data field? Thanks, Bill

Voltrader, This may not be the nicest way to say this, but it is just my humble opinion, so here goes: If you are really as naive as your opening question suggests, my advice to you is to BE VERY CAREFUL. You are going to read alot of nonsense on this board from people who say that...

Can anyone tell me if there is a software package or data provider out there that will let me import historical partial day VWAP's to excel? I know that Bloomberg can do this for the past 50 days, but I am looking for a less expensive alternative. Thanks, Bill

Hi, I asked in another post if any data providers or software packages had DDE links of technical indicators (RSI,MACD, etc.)to excel. Does REDIPlus have them? Also, can REDIPlus be configured to send a basket of orders directly from an excel spreadsheet via ActiveX?

Can anyone tell me which common data providers/software packages offer DDE links to excel of real-time technical indicators like RSI,MACD etc.? Do most of them offer this? I would prefer one that also allows automated order entry from excel if possible. I am also interested in looking at...

Thanks for the replies. I am planning on having VirtualPC anyway so I can run windows programs if I have to. Are you familiar with this? Would windows applications run slower on a Mac with VirtualPC than they would on a PC?

This may be a dumb question, but I've always been told that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask, so here goes: I have recently purchased an iMac for my personal computing and I would like to trade remotely within the coming year. Does anyone have any opinions regarding using a...

There is also a prop firm named Navillus in Conshohocken (about 25 minutes north of Philly) but it was more expensive and less professional IMHO than Bright' Cherry Hill office. Bright's trading office is nice -- I was there a few weeks ago -- but there were only eight traders there and there...

Thanks for the replies. I have checked out wealth-lab and I will look into Tradestation. Let me give you some details of what I am researching. I have created a spreadsheet in excel that imports real-time and historical price data and technical indicators for a large group of stocks. It...

Hey all, Just came across this website a few weeks ago and I love it! It is great to have a place where so many different aspects of trading are under discussion constantly. I am a huge fan. Anyway, my topic deals with backtesting and automation. I am an experienced trader but I am new...
