    Trader P/L 2007

    I almost wished I learned something from yesterdays lesson. But no. I wish there was a way to see and know what everyone trading a particular stock was thinking at least for one day. Some of this stuff is way beyond me. Like GT in the afternoon today. :( At least the system worked fine or maybe...

    Trader P/L 2007

    I am only $400 from the top but emotionally this has been the second worst day in my career. I was short a stock thats a major component of the S&P during that whole morning down move. The stock moved 80 cents higher in that time, with 1 red candle in 25 min span. I just couldn't believe it...

    Anything better than TT?

    If this is your only gripe with TT this is easy to fix with a either free software or inxepsnive hardware. The software solution is to run a macro on top of the software which will reasign the keys for you the other is to get a customizable keyboard which will let you customize the keyboard...

    a question about Swifttrade

    Its not legal, but who will know? If you keep your mouth shut, tell EI you are looking for job everyday they won't know. Swifttrade doesn't record who works for them or not. With so many people going through the door they probably don't know themselves. But if you get caught then its illegal.

    Sleep trading.

    I had the same thing happened with clock radio. When you are used to it being in the same spot after awhile you can learn to turn it off without waking up, it takes a long time took me 6-7 months but it started to be regularly so I moved my clock and was fine for some time. So move the system...

    New NYSE entitlements!

    They are a software company not prop company. Then diffrent groups under Genesis could be bad or good. It all depends on what you consider good, I consider it a good company if it covers my fees and give me relativley good payout. If I am getting less than 50% then I should not be paying those...

    New NYSE entitlements!

    Better prop companies will cover those fees for you or give them to you at a discount rate ie they will subsidise the fees. Unless you are making 50% you should not be paying those fees. Of courseif you work in some third world country and the owner just tries to rip you off at every turn since...

    Who else thinks Swift canada is toast?

    I don't think anyone ever said the quotes were slow under normal conditions or when things are working. Side by side they are the same as any other platform, its hard to screw that up even with subpar techies like speedyj overthere. The problems begin when there is volume and sticky quotes would...

    Who else thinks Swift canada is toast?

    They are doing well on LSE, but how long will those advantages last? 6 months, 1 year, as soon as one prop in NA gets access to the markets others will follow. But they were always good on being the first and pioneers on almost anything so they will still be around for awhile, Peter Beck and...

    Who else thinks Swift canada is toast?

    And swifttrade uses some Space age satelites that omit the internet? Or maybe they have their own fiber under the ocean right? You sound like one of the developers at swift, isn't their code still based on excel, or written in LOGO? If they switch to office 2007, excel can have more entries in...
