What's the split at the new firm? Commissions? Have you gone over to check out their operation? Go check their shite out. Ask to watch a live session go on. Be serious to see if they are serious. Have had a couple guys leave our firm for a "better" deal. They had to switch locations...

Agree MTT. Let's break break some levels before getting short.

Let's call tops.

Every time people start to lose money around here, conspiracy theories abound. Its the summer, so markets suck. Don't trade as much, practice good risk management, and wait for the markets to return. You don't have to be trying to make money EVERYDAY. It is impossible. Your progression as...

Yeah, don't trade oil on ICE exchange because it goes down every 30 minutes.

Jayhawk, Yes, TT. That's the frontend we use for everything.

The guys around me seem happy with the CME liquidity. They don't trade very big (1-20 lots), since we just got it about a month ago. Not sure what the plans are with NYMEX, I know we don't have that platform yet.

We are trading oil on the CME gateway, but it will be gone in a month and NYMEX will go online. Trading oil on ICE also, but the platform is not stable and goes down ALL the time.

Thanks vulture. The mystery is solved. I can now sleep at night.

Bill Gross is looking for a rate between 3.5% - 3.75% for awhile. I think I will go WITH him. Did you see him derailing Snow's Fed Roadshow the other day on MSNBC PS - Where the heck is Alexis Glick?

Whit makes GREAT points even if he has only 2 posts.:D Daily goals will kill you. Work on your setups and entries. When these come up in the market, you attack with full size. It took me 5 years to realize this. Stress and volume are down while profitability is up. It takes 1 to 4 days...

I meant yesterday, seeing as my post was at 1:30 AM. Of course we would hear about the flipper, but its been pretty thin in there with 2 and 3 hundred lots disappearing.

1.5 million contracts traded by 8:30. 2.5 million contracts overall today. Has been much thinner then normal and moves show no support or resistance levels. 10 tics in one 2 minute bar is nothing. No 1 or 2 thousand lots being "flipped" on me. Just volume going one way or the other...

DE Trading, Glenview, IL. Teaches it's a career, not a dice roll or commission shakedown. Interested in your profits and not your commission generation. All the support you could possibly imagine.

Hear yee, Hear yee. I am posting here as a profitable prop firm trader for the past 6 years.

Flash, I, too find it distracting to set monetary daily goals. I try to focus on my signals and what the market is doing (i.e. THE PLAN). If you have a daily $$$ goal and the market is shite, then why try to make the $$$ goal. If you dont make it for the day, I found that the stress...

6 years ago, I was parking a trader's car at a highrise I worked at in Chicago. He kept getting home at 2:00 PM. I asked him what he did and told me he was a trader. I asked for an interview and actually got one. Literally, begged for a job at his prop firm and got it. First day on the...
