    Why do traders blame their firms for not succeeding?

    I suspected there were problems of some sort when WorldCo began closing offices like the one here in San Diego. That is why I asked the question, I have no clue what WorldCo is doing on the East Coast but they are pulling out of the West Coast from what it appears...

    Making MORE MONEY TRADING working full time?

    I respect the post above but IMHO... There is no reason for you not to get a job...swing trading can easily be done with the right order management software. Time is your most valuable commodity. Active daytrading requires sitting in front of the screen, swing trading does not...

    Give it to OTL - he calls a spade a spade RichSohn....are you too stubborn to admit that there have been serious problems at WorldCo?

    Why do traders blame their firms for not succeeding?

    In am sure that there are prop groups/firms that do business exactly as the posters above have stated. STAY AWAY FROM THESE GROUPS. You have to find an office/firm that will be happy to share ideas, but will also let you trade your own style as long as it meets the risk parameters of the...

    How do prop trading firms make moneY?

    Nice clarification, it is too bad that more do not make this distinction. There is also the blend of pro/prop...LOL Some pro shops will help a trader with little or no money if they believe in the ability of the trader. We have had experience where we personally backed a few guys till...

    How do prop trading firms make moneY?

    That is unfortunate, there are better places to trade. As a matter of fact, some offices have retail traders trading with prop traders. I do not think it matters if you are retail or prop, what matters is if you are surrounded by traders, or blood sucking vampires.

    How do prop trading firms make moneY?

    Not all firms or prop shops or even firm branches are the same. There are different kinds.... 1. Those who share profits and want you to make money and put time into training you for FREE. 2. Those that train you to churn commissions and send you packing. 3. Those that charge for...

    What LOT size do you trade stocks ?

    I take quick moves in stocks as low as 40k shares a day...obviously not 10k share positions, but if you find opportunity with something moving, you can trade it. The trick is finding the opportunity and knowing what to do with it. Determining positions size is not as easy as "how many...

    Dow Jones News-Michigan Sentiment Numbers

    I bet we would see some action 14 minutes 59 seconds before the number if that is the case... 15 minutes may be a stretch...but anything is possible.

    Sponsorship?

    Why do you wish to take the Series 7 now? Do not get me wrong...most the traders I know are licensed, but it is not required to trade. With some firms, you can become a retail trader in an LLC with plenty of buying power, for example a LLC with millions of capital that is basically shared...

    Listen to this guy, not only is he just a SOLID guy, but he knows his stuff. When my partner and I we being intimidated by a former trading firm, he was quick to let us know what to do (and what not to do). Not only does this guy know the law, but is a real down to earth trader...

    SunGard dumping Assent/Andover prop trading business?

    First of all, none of "MY" traders believe the crap you posted. I am not concerned with it. I do believe that you do have an agenda with this entire thread, otherwise who gives a crap? You do not trade with ASSENT do you? What do you care? We just keep trading, and the point is that...

    Integrity of Elitetrader

    I know that some guys from Andover have spammed the board. I hate it. No doubt, it gives the firm a bad wrap. Baron has the right to be pissed as hell.
