I have the whole series of articles fron Futures, very useful information.

I've heard of this firm, they're located in Flushing New York, I think they pay their traders $5.15 an hour and 10% of profits while charging them ultra high commissions. Please verify this info, this information is second hand. If you know Flushing you can get an idea of who their traders are...

I don't think you can predict false moves. well otherwise they would not be that fake. maybe yes anyway.. I am not smart enough. so I pyramid in. Throw some shares in, see how they are absorbed, and what comes next. It is funny how you see things differently when you have money in a stocks...

Is the room setup as private, because I was trying to find it, without much luck?

I'll tell you tommorow, I post the link when I find it.

I'll never tell << Whispering like the Michael Douglas movie.

I didn't say anything about every year, last year it returned 150% from the long side, and about 800% from the short side. And it's freely available on the internet. Just not from me:p

Wow, only 6 mnutes before a reply. Let me think about it. :p

I've got a trading system for the QQQ which returned over 800% last year. It's not a day trading system, it's a short term system with most trades lasting 1-4 days.

You don't need the code, it's simply the average of the first 5 minutes, draw and line thru that price and watch where most of the trading takes place during the first hour or so.

I start small because I don't want to go red (FEAR) early and play more conservatively and then later get hurt being whipsawed. I know I shouldn't do this, that's why adding to this thread is a help by putting my thoughts on 'paper' and receiving your feedback. I understand that I shouldn't...

I'm having a terrible year to start also. Start almost all my days pos. but somehow go neg. Caught EMN short(1/14) for +1.10 but still ended the day down. I'm having a tough time, start with a small size (EMN) and then size up a little bit it and give it all back. What does the...

A quick question re: your FV system, are you buying the lower band and shorting the upper band or vice versa? :confused:

22% is what percentage of trading was done on the all the NYSE by that point in time. That means that ALL of the stocks traded on the NYSE will have an AVERAGE of 22% of their stocks volume done in the first 30 minutes. Like I said, this is just a quick and dirty way for me to get an idea of...

I used the NYSE on one particular day and find it useful to quickly check the volume on a stock. Here's the spreadsheet attached.

yes, that's basically what I did, if @ a given time NYSE has done 70% of it's volume than I multiply that by the avg. daily volume of the particular stock. Of course, First Alert, Insight are much better. We have Insight @ our office but it's impractical to input a particular stock to see...

I believe Insight only does business with trading firms. I wrote an excel spreadsheet for relative volume by using NYSE volume %'s in 1/2 hour increments and use that percentage to figure out what a stocks volume should be at a particular point in time.

I agree with you to a point, my boss runs 2 offices and I've noticed I did better in the past when he wasn't around but lately I'm less conscience of it and am just trading away. However, his "looking" over my shoulder has "burned" in my his pet peeve, don't go against the 15 min. MACD...

As a new prop trader, I can see the advantages right away. I've been in two offices with the same firm and have been exposed to many different trading (successful) strategies. One trader at my firm holds over $5 million overnight using sophisticated spreading techniques with a program he has...
