Where can I find statistics on NYSE Specialist short selling and public short selling? I learned of this through a hedge fund manager and he uses these stats to help judge market sentiment. Stupid me, I forgot to ask him where he obtains this information. :(

What is your budget?

I found a great program for stopping spam e-mail. www.mailwasher.net When you install the program, one of the options is for a Hotmail account. Just follow the instructions and this program will definitely help you. I have used this program for several months now and my spam e-mail has...

Take a look at First New York Securities and Triton Global because they both pay a base salary. That would probably be a good idea. Be very cautious of any firm that requires you to put up capital to begin with. Good Luck.

Does anyone know of a news service that can provide pre-market news and alerts that I can receive on my cell phone? I want to use it so that I can at least do some preliminary research during my commute in the morning on the train.

Someone once told me that smart people don't make good traders. I think this is true. Why? Because those types of people will always look for some type of system or mathematical model to justify a trade or a trading concept. A good trader, one who is consistently profitable, will always beat...

I have alot of experience in this matter. If I were you, I would not upgrade to XP Pro because it is so similar to 2000 that there is little reason to upgrade. However, XP does offer some quality enhancements, mainly in regards to graphics. As far as stability, they are pretty much the...

Does anyone trade using this method? How does it even work? Do you think that it is useful? I assume that traders use it to spread out risk, but has it really been proven to do that?

Had several interviews with them and even spent a day at their tradig desk in midtown. I did not come away with a great feeling. It seems as if they train you for a few months and then just let you go on your own with no real help thereafter. Granted, one must learn how to trade and that can...

My trading experience, albeit limited, clearly indicates that the use of TA becomes self defeating. I have read the forums for a while now and it has come to my attention that TA, although useful, becomes self defeating because many traders misuse them. For example, some traders use several TA's...

I just signed up to work with them. I went on many interviews for several different firms. Spectrum gave me the most confidence. There are two partners who run it. They recently bought themselves outright as they were indeed a sub of Schonfeld. They currently have about 80 traders. Looking...

I was having an argument with my father about short selling a NYSE stock. So, I want someone else's opinion on this forum to settle the matter. When shorting a NYSE stock, how does one know at what price to enter in the limit order to comply with the uptick rule and hopefully get a quick and...

Does anyone know anything about Spectrum Capital Partners? I have an interview with them next week, but I can't find any info other than their website: www.scptrading.com thank you in advance.

No. I am not trying to do anything fishy here. I really want to join a prop firm and I am trying to learn about these firms. I do not need people to berate me. I just want some good information so that I can make the right decision. Is that too much to ask?

Does anyone know anything about Triton Global, LLC?

sorry if I missed it somewhere in the threads. I just want their phone number and address in NYC. Thanx for all of the info and advice I have read so far.
