Records two days in a row. Insane trading. +70k Still waiting on word of trade breaks, that could wipe out a chunk of this, but I'm done for the day most likely. Hope some of you scored big today!

New record...I'm sure there will be some huge numbers today...

LOL... "NASDAQ MarketWatch is investigating potentially erroneous transactions involving the security UAL Corp executed between 10:55:00 and 11:08:00 ET today. MarketWatch will advise with details as soon as available."

When can we start trading?

If people would stop responding to his posts, and stop looking at his POS website he will eventually go away. There should be a limit to the number of spam threads a vendor can make in a day...this is ridiculous. Put him on ignore.

You've surrounded yourself with bad traders. Most guys I know are killing it this year.

In the world of daytrading and margin, percentages don't matter. That's why it's so hard to get a real response on the topic. Take a guy who can double his $50k account, vs. a guy who makes $200k on a million dollar buying power account...the $200k guy is more likely to be the better...

that's fair

Don't listen to these guys. It's important to know what you are paying, and when. I've paid almost $4k this month alone in ECN fees which is probably more than 95% of guys on ET make monthly.

I set up an LLC which acts as a husband/wife partnership last year for the mere purpose of fully funding a mini-401k for both me and my wife. You can submit around $45k pp, per year. This means after two good years we will have $180k+ in 401k's which is a great start for our retirement. The...

LOL anyone who feels they need more than what TI provides isn't much of a trader imo. Been using it for years and couldn't be happier with it.

Trade Ideas

Many real traders have broken off into subgroups/chat rooms/mysterious secret societies etc. Too much junk to wade through here these days unfortunately. Keep holding out for that $8.5M though...I'm sure there's an informed trader just around the corner. I should be rich then. Baron can I...

It was broken...

Does anyone have recent experience with this branch. I have an inexperienced friend looking into it and I want to help guide him in the right direction. Any info appreciated. Thanks

You are getting some misinformation. -Yes prop trading is for real. -Hardly any will make 40k their first year. -You can be short or long most stocks at any time. -Without prop trading I would be working a desk job somewhere, instead of enjoying a "traders life" for the last 10 years...

There's a number of successful traders out there. Just go back and flip through the P&L threads.

Have you shopped around a better deal? Like the others mentioned, what you are paying is horrible.

If you have a profitable strategy why would you want to give away half of your profits? Commissions are so low these days that you are asking to pay a huge premium for access to capital, and reduced risk in the event of blow up. A lot of guys, including myself, trade directionally with $1-5M...

As a true life example, after getting shut down at Tuco I called Echo and Bright. Don's quoted rate for me was >50% over Echo's rate, so I chose the latter. (With the >1k rate at Bright it's hard to compare exactly) I've traded with Bright in the past, he knew my volume, and the rate didn't...
