    Cable VS DSL

    When cable modem first came to me I was one of the first in the hood to get it. Pretty much 800K up and down. Now, it's a couple years later and DSL is available. I just got it as a backup, but it looks like its going to be primary. DSL is 1000K down and 250K up Cable is down to 300K...

    American Express Financial Advisor??

    I had a friend who went through that program recently. He was a high-level manager at Nortel before he got laid off. A year before that, he was a high-level manager at IBM. He took the classes, passed the tests, but did it on his own time. They give you $$$ bonuses that way if you pass and...

    Have $10,000 & Series 7 - EchoTrade...no answer!

    We have plenty of remote traders that make a very nice living, obviously it works for them. I always recommend our remotes to have backup systems and backup internet connections. If you are remote, you should equip your home office properly, have the proper connections, and have a backup.

    Program Trading

    I would think if you use the TICK to determine program trading, the information is too late. The programs already kicked in and I would think you want to get there BEFORE they kick in.

    someone should do this

    Actually, A losing trader could cover his losses with a chatroom. He could be a "contra-indicator". He makes no market comment, no one else is allowed to post (less it would influence him). All he would do is post his trades as soon as he did them (even better, have his trading software...

    XP of Win 2000 which is best?

    Definitely 2000 I don't know of much that XP offers that makes it worth it. I work with a lot of traders. And I know of people that have had problems with XP where they have not had problems with 2000. I'd go for the "proven" product of 2000. Maybe in a year or so it might be...

    Program Trading

    Hmmm... used the PREM side of it, but never really thought about the TICK coming into play. I'll watch for that also! If the tick doesn't change significantly, is that an indication that they might not be coming in with the programs?

    Program Trading

    As I understand it, it's a very common thing. But the numbers will be different for each firm depending on: Their basket of stocks Any derivatives they factor in Their cash on hand Their interest rate they are getting on their cash on hand Their cost of carrying etc. etc. etc.

    Sharing High End Equipment and Feeds

    lots of ways you could do that from a technical standpoint. Use something like PCAnywhere or Carbon Copy. Don't know the status of licensing. Most say for use on one machine, but it would only be one one machine and you'd be using PCAnywhere on the others. You'd have a delay in quotes...

    Old Dog, New Tricks

    Pegging is having a price set just outside the bid or ask in hopes of getting a trade through. Talk to your Redi rep for exact details on using them. Buy minus means that the order will become a market order to buy on the next downtick. Sell plus means the order will become a market order...

    Best places to live for starting traders:

    Live where you can learn the most from successful traders. Once you make enough to start worrying about taxes from your trading income, go to where the tax conditions are most favorable (as long as you like living in the area - money isn't everything).
