    Prop firms for recent college grads?

    Assent also has an office in Atlanta. I do not believe Assent offers any kind of training, while Opus does. I haven't dug too deep into either firm. Perhaps one day. I'd be curious about any information someone could give on either firm. What I've gathered so far: Opus uses the...

    Trade for a living: Advice wanted...

    Many people trade many different ways. I believe many traders fail because the way they attempt to trade doesn't match their personality. I tried several styles of trading. I started with what I thought was safe. I thought I was conservative, and should position trade. Wrong answer. So I...

    Quad Monitor Stand up on eBay

    I just received a quad monitor stand that works well for me, and it's cheap. I've been using it for about a month. My requirements were minimal. It holds my 4 monitors. I don't move it around once it is set. It does not wobble. I was suprised at the heavy gauge steel for the price...

    Alabama Prop Firms

    I'm sorry I can't help you with the prop firms in Birmingham, but had to post a note that the South is great. I tried living up North, but I kept asking myself why? I haven't seen snow yet this year. I think that's great. The cost of living is mostly lower. Housing is cheap. The only...

    Remote trading/ prop/ retail

    Assent has an office in Atlanta, and it's much warmer than there! Why not trade directly with Assent? Disclosure: I haven't talked to anyone at Assent, so don't know what the office is like.

    Any Trading Office Space avail ATLANTA

    Based on the address, I think its the building with the restaurant Bluepointe. Across from Phipps as well as Lenox malls. I work about 3 blocks from there. If it's not raining tomorrow, perhaps I'll take a walk there and explore.

    Any Trading Office Space avail ATLANTA

    The only two I know of are Assent, and Opus. Both are in the Lenox Mall area of Buckhead. I haven't dug deep, but it looks like Assent expects you to come in with your own knowledge and chips, while Opus gives you some training and some money. From what I read Assent is the real deal. Haven't...

    Where were all the Risk Managers when Investmen Banks started investing in Sub Prime?

    Trusting the ratings agencies was evidently a popular way to not do your job.

    afternoon session vs morning session

    I've been doing something very similar to this since Jan 18th. Very profitable in Jan. Slightly neg in Feb. Up a little so far in March. I have built my own rules for this setup that I feel comfortable with. I encourage you to do the same. Such easy edges are out there. No doubt they are...

    Let's hear about your largest returning trades

    Watching the YM around 1pm a few weeks ago. Ticks hit the extreme 3 times in 5 minutes (near negative 1250 each time), but the price barely moved. It sat near the low of the day, and just couldn't seem to go any lower. I jumped in long, and the price stayed there for about another 10 minutes...

    Software to quickly look at stock charts.

    I use MedVed QuoteTracker, when I flip through charts at EOD. They work fine during the day too, but speed is very dependant on your data provider, as QuoteTracker is only the front end(Ameritrade is my data feed). What I like, is I have several charts open at once, and pinned together. So I...

    gary williams

    Are you sure the name is right? I would think someone with something to sell would have a big website with flashing lights. A quick google search returns nothing obvious. I think its must be hard for some. They have to find a way to do this and still sleep at night. Sometimes I wish...

    How much longer should I wait?

    Not to beat an analogy to death, but I'd say think twice about scrapping the recipe until you're sure there's nothing in it worth saving. I started with what I thought was a great recipe. It turns out it wasn't. I slowly changed 1 or 2 things at a time, and waited for some time before judging...

    Man Tries to Break Into WARREN Buffett's Home

    BTW: Yes, he owns NetJets, but has his own Gulfstream. He says he doesn't like "perks", but his own jet was a must-have item he didn't think he needed until he got one. -jmjatlanta

    Has anyone used this service? It looks as if their stuff is dated, but hey! I'd bet it's better than CNBC. :) http://flix.ino.com -jmjatlanta Edit: Sorry guys, I guess I should have searched first. I tried to delete this post, but get a page that says I don't have permission.

    Four monitor question

    Hello all. I've got a dual-head windows box, that I'd like to upgrade to 4 monitors. I'd like two of the monitors above the other two. Does Windows handle that smartly? Can I drag the mouse up and to the right, and have my app move to the upper right screen? Does what I want require a...
