Nice story I'm going to add a few things to your rules though and go through them. Trading is hard -yes at first, but with time , discipline and knowledge it becomes easy after awhile. Buy and hold can work but THIS is the time to do it not 2 yrs ago. Only buy and hold solid...

Qwik nice replies even though I didn't quote you on all. I just wanted to address the last one. I will add one thing on above. NASDAQ market makers are required to post a 2 sided market since they are on the floor but again they can do it at their price. That's why we tend to...

I have to give congrads to the traders who are writing on this thread they are thinking out of the "box" so to speak. Thinking this way(ie differently)is how to really push your trading to new levels. Actually What I occassionally do with dividend capturing is already well known by...

One I agree there are plenty of free lunches -but you have to realize that the menu does change. Everyone is constantly looking for that free lunch and than it isn't so great when too many people find it. The bullets wouldn't work so to speak as they expire on the close, but a...

Take a look at every stock on the NYSE that has had a drop of 80-90%. Do you realize that the specialist was probably the buyer for 70% of that move and it is very possible that he is sitting on some huge losses. That's the risk he has to take, but it doesn't happen often. The risk is...

Just for your info if you are short the stock on dividend date than you owe that much to your brokerage firm on the payout date. So you would have 0 risk and zero reward. There is a way of profiting from this and that's your clue. Which is something I do but I'm not about to post...

Conversions last till the options expire bullets last only for a day. The reason this is mainly for professionals is the amount of capital this will take up for a retail trader.

Have to agree with Magma about the above. A lot of demo's allow you to always buy the bid and sell the ask. No so in real life. than there is assuming emotion isn't a factor. There are very few people that can be emotionless while losing a small % of their account waiting for a trade...

I'm editing this post as I just got an email ECHOtrade is now allowing all traders to execute their own bullets. In addition to this, the twenty dollar fee has been removed. ECHOtrade now charges three cents per share across the board with a one hundred share minimum. The Teraterm...

Greg..........not MSN!!! We would have to edit all of those if they were on our site rather quickly!!! At least this site doesn't get the put a dollar in an envelope and send it to 5 people cr*p that seems to post on my site every once and awhile. For Everyone's info.... Greg or...

I would think you are right the market needs to eventually have a trend. This was the case except for the S&P's. When random entry was being test with coin flips on the futures markets the only underlying was the S&P's that wouldn't work. The Currencies though had some of the best success...

The short list for most professional firms is more extensive. This thread is getting off topic as it is supposed to be disadvantages. I am finding myself repeating old posts and it's getting rather time consuming. Now I'm being accused of just being a hyper for Echo. Yeah Right, I'll I...

I am working on becoming a manager for Echo. I have no written agreement as of this date with Echo about referral fees. That will change eventually though with management. This is why I did not reply nor disclose. It was something this is being worked on but not happening. How do...

two questions one thread. HOw much volume I trade and how often depends on a few factors. I use the same amount of risk near the end of the year but my capital has grown nicely. This means I'm trading more shares. It also depends on what type of system I am trading at the moment. I...

I agree with you. A profitable trader would want to have 100%. An unprofitable trader would want to have no losses but share a % of his winnings while learing. Tells you though the kind of traders which will be at both firms. Surprised that they don't have handcuffs on their...

I sometimes make NO trades a day. If no signals no trades. I usually won't do too many in comparision. The firm wants to be profitable but they also need their traders to make money long term in order for them to survive. MJT I missed your post. To my knowledge once you are flagged...

Hitman We are with different professional firms that are competiton with each other. I feel though that both firms have benefits and drawbacks. It really depends on the trader. I've posted before contact info for your firm and others. I feel that is the fair way to be by allowing others...

That's competitive I'll admit. There are quite a few traders still making money trading in this market. Think of it this way there are 2 sides to each transaction. I do want to ask Hitman's question What are the cost of bullets?? I'm paying a .03 a share for mine. I'd be...
