I have to agree with Metoxx. I trade for a prop firm with none of my own money...and I traded at their office for first 2 1/2 years...and now Im a remote trader...since 9/1/2002. First, I would never recommend any new trader to start on your own from home because there is just too much to...

Yea...The orders get cancelled automatically after the stock makes its first print at NYSE or AMEX. No need for you to furiously cancel thigns...Great for those days when there are lot to do.

I wont go into details since I cant give away something that took me 3 years to learn and cost me tens of thousands to discover....but suffice it to say that I try to get in on the first print of the day. That has good and bad points...simply - if it goes your way, its good; if it goes against...

I think OPG stands Opening Only (AKA "OO") orders.

I honestly don't know exactly what strategy you folks are talking about...but my opening trade consists of watching those listed stocks that open late with gap up or down. But on any given stock that gaps up or down, I will usually get filled anywhere bewteen 0 - 5000 shares depending on where...

What happeend to the post about Worldco?

Np upticks? Well..Isn't that the reason for using conversions/bullets? I truly believe that if you are not able to use bullets in daytrading, your profits would decrase by mor than 50%. If you are in some firm that does not allow you to utilize bullets, I say you need to move. Second, the...

If everybody had the steely disciplinet hat darkhorse has, we'd all be millionaires. The fact is, we are not machines and we overcome to human emotions. As the saying goes, "It's not that we dont know what to do - it's that we don't do what we know". Why do you think crack addicts keep...

By all means, try to make money at all times..However, most daytraders will tell you that most money is made first hour and last hour. In between, you should read a book or watch someone trade. You will save yourself alot of money by staying away from trading middle of the day. As for one...

Im a current trader at wldc..been there for 3 years. Im stil here for many reasons..but the bottom line is that, to me, Wldc offers a good combination of service/price. I do not know what it is like at Bright or Generic or Andover or Schony... but I know people at those firms. All the firms...

Fang... You are currently living AND trading in China? What can you trade? How do you trade? What firm do you use? How do you get paid? How do you convert the currency? Do you keep it all? Can you trade the US markets?

Is this book for pure intra day trading or longer term trading? And in what markets?

The ETF's are short sale exempt stocks..you can short them on downtick...at exchanges or ECN's. You dont need any special authorization to trade them at Wldc except the capital requirement I mentioned above.

Im at Wldc and , yes, you can trade the SPY, QQQ and DIA. And you can trade them through ECN's (ISLD, ARAC, INCA and REDI book) - same rates, no ECN charges. However, those stocks are on what is called a RESTRICTED LIST. This list is an on-going list that has abut 15 - 20 stocks that many...

Used to be $15/ $1M sell. On April 1, went up over 100% to $30.50/$1M sales $$. Whats up with that????!!! 100% hike??

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "how stupid you are. You simply make me laugh. I hate you and your country, believe me. Soon others kamikakes will make you cry and I will laugh again as I did on the 11th of September when the USA expected an...

I have 7 flats ...using 2 Matrox cards. I have had problems with cursosr being stuck at edge of each monitor and my layouts not being saved properly... I have to think its some kind of video card driver bug. Maybe its not 100% compatble with Win2000 Pro. Not sure. So far, no solutions yet.

First, the strategies I use for other stocks do not work at all for index stocks. I traded basically news stock at the open. Thats my bread and butter strategy... and Im what you might call a "tape reader". Try reading tape of SPY or QQQ. Simply does not apply. Why am I interested in...

Dustin......GREAT SUGGESTION! I think between SPY, QQQ and DIA.... I should be able to hedge 2 positions and risk very little....Thanks for the idea dude!!! Im not sure if any other index stocks will work because of lack of voulme..Anyone know of others that I could use?

First of all, if you are thinking of buying a stock, I wouldn't want the stock if I got filled at the bid or near the bid. Second, if a stock is ripping and you wanted to buy it, (for listed stocks at the exchanges) and the quote is not spread up, the best thing to do is probably enter a buy...
