    Professional Traders. need advice

    I will expand on why I think stocks are easier than futures. To me, stocks are the most basic and inefficient instrument in the marketplace. Many great traders will agree, and even firm owners (Don Bright) included. The reason being that one or two large orders can really affect the way a...

    Mark Cuban pushes for 20 cents per share tax on every roundtrip.

    Here's my comment on his blog...what an idiot. Mark how can you possibly think that this idea wouldn’t affect liquidity? The daytrading community that I have been a part of for 10+ years provides 25%+ of the daily volume on each major exchange. We provide liquidity and tighten spreads...

    the BEST traders i know

    The best traders you know suck at trading. The best traders I know make $100-500k/day in this environment without blinking. If you can't make money in this market then you may want to reconsider trading as a profession.

    Tax on Trades Should Be Part of Rescue Plan, Some Democrats Say

    This would indeed put us all out of business. Would cost me 10-15k per day and I'm not even a high volume trader. Liquidity would be GONE. Worst idea in the history of ideas.
