    Anybody own a house?

    I'm a happy home owner. I can't imagine not owning a home unless you're single and like to jump around.

    I should have made 324,000 last year.

    I was a broker at MER and MS for many years. It sounds like you have a managed money account. The programs have different names at each firm, but basically your local broker is not doing anything. Your acct is being traded in a pool by a money manager like Rittenhouse, NWQ, or some other firm...

    Trend Following--Another Nail In The Coffin

    I didn't hound you or post the chart of MFW to prove that you make "bad" trades. I, like Proflogic, believe that there are no 'bad' trades except those that are done outside of your trading rules. However, the reason I keep bringing up the MFW trade is because despite the fact that you make...

    What are your views on WMA cross trading?

    I don't trade FX but I think strategies can be applied across markets (not always). In my opinion you could very well make a profitable strategy with a MA cross as long as you stick to your rules, have set Risk/Rewards ratios etc. In other words, it could work, but so could the fading of that...

    MOVIES about Trading

    My first job as a broker we actually had to hand write out the order and bring it to the trading desk where the traders executed it (this was 1996 in a small firm). We quickly moved to desk top execution at the wirehouse firms. I don't think firms do this anymore, but we would get daily sheets...

    Da Bears!

    Good luck, Bears fans. At least you won't have to deal with the Bus. :) Last year he made Urlacher look like a lightweight.

    Electricity trading? How much can you make working for a firm? How about at the desk?

    A good friend of mine was trading at Mirant in Atlanta. He did the night shift for a few years then eventually had a regular shift. He recently moved to NYC to work on the Barclay's power desk. I don't know how much he makes. If I had to guess I'd say somewhere between $200,000-$300,000.

    Banging your head against the table.

    Don't you hate when this happens? I don't trade NASDAQ that much , but sometimes when I see something I'll play it with a small position. RACK and NVEC both gave signals. The RACK I covered later towards the close but the NVEC I covered WAY TOO EARLY. The stock hit $22.20 area near the...

    NYSE alerts MOC order imbalance

    You'll need to get a data feed provider that gets that info. I get it through EchoPro. www.echotradeonline.com I think you can from www.redi.com software and probably Bloomberg too.

    SYMC - What do you think

    Looks like she wants to see lower 17 or mid 16, but then again, I'm biased. Went short today. Look at that massive size!
