That is the nice thing about the hours on the west coast, with the trading day over by 1:00 pm, it leaves time for a ton of other activities. My brother is moving to San Diego to trade with me and he is definitely going to have a second job while he learns the trading game. What an advantage...

HMMM i guess that is different from my setup, i do not have to switch anything, just watch, listen to the squawk and bang on the keys. Consider changing around by adding more monitors or something so you can still watch what you need to but have your hotkeys ready at the same...

I live in La Jolla, CA now. Was waiting for boy to get out of school year in Vegas, now family is here in LJ with me so house is on market. Trading has had its ups and downs, when it is good, sock it away!! I was also lucky when I sold my house in La Jolla when I was moving to Las Vegas 2...

You would be correct. Do you want to buy a house there? I have mine listed right now. http://tours.tourfactory.com/tours/tour.asp?t=127696&home=www.homedebut.com&slink=1&gg=32&tt=4&aa=&oh=&th=1

I wish this board had been around years ago when I got started, think of all the trail and error I could have saved myself by reading posts like the ones above.

same experience over here gnome!!!! I was reluctant to change over, but I am glad I did. Right now I am testing the ProXP on my laptop, not my trading computer yet, to see how it runs... JK

no - we do not share in San Diego. Some offices do share from what I understand.

Her is a recent photo of a typical setup in San Diego. BTW - that is our visiting star trader Martin from Philly!

Yes, to clarify my earlier post, we use digital monitors with DVI connectors, the difference is very noticeable than analog connectors! Thanks Nitro for pointing that out! FYI, just the digital connector cables for the Matrox will cost you another 60 bucks or so....no one said the good...

What about overseas or offshore? I vote for trading from the beach in Phuket, Thailand! Any offshore account traders here? Speak up, the latest member to join was "IRSauditor"

I do not want to sound like Don (no offence Don) and you are welcome to blast me I guess.....(typing timidly now) We cover scalping in our workshop. Feel free to ask for more information or check out the recent posts on this board in regard to the training workshop we offer in the Hook Up...

I cannot answer that, we use the Quads.

Yes, I will try. 1. Trade the same stocks everyday. (2-4) 2. Trade NYSE stocks only. 3. Have bullets or conversions to trade both ways. 4. Watch futures and go with flow. 5. Cut losers right away. 6. Do zero research except checking a little news in the morning. 7. Communicate with the...

Yes, there is a particular Matrox model that is for four monitors, but can handle even more than that! http://shopmatrox.com/usa/products/datasheet.asp?ID=278 try that URL... Good Luck! Jonathan

The some of the most profitable traders in our San Diego office are scalpers. As a matter of fact, the most profitable trader in the firm is a scalper, I had the pleasure of meeting him recently in Las Vegas. I used to think scalping was dead also, until I saw the incredible P&L these...

What city are you in? We have had many traders come into our San Diego office to trade for a few months to learn and then went back home. (I would be glad to pass your email address along so you could contact them directly regarding their experience, just PM me) Do not get hung up on firm...

The key word is Quad on the Matrox cards. That way I only have one card, one driver. No conflicts. Also consider upgrading to Win 2000, it will seem so much more stable compared to Win 98...IMHO. Good Luck! Jonathan

I use hotkeys. If you are using a mouse at all I will beat you to the punch. Make sure that your order entry can support hot keys... you will never go back to a mouse. Good Luck!

With the recent volatility, the biggest winners in the San Diego office have been the scalpers trading big liquid NYSE names and looking for small moves .10 to .30 and or cutting losses immediately if it does not make the move with the futures. Rtharp has also been VERY consistent with...

If you absolutely feel the need to buy a "system" then go to ebay and do a search, there are plenty of people who are looking to sell the systems they purchased.... Think twice about spending your money, there is no easy road, magic beans, or computer systems that win in the markets over...
