    Help: My Offer from a Prop Firm

    For a complete newbie, that deal sounds good. You have zero exposure and the opportunity to learn on someone else's dime. Do you know the quality of the other traders? Is it a good environment where you can really learn something from veteran people? Have you met any of the traders? If...

    Looks like cro-magnon man. I was expecting a blonde surfer dude from the Age of Aquarius.

    Do Indicators lag?

    I have to disagree. You can use stochastics to predict a short term price reversal (on a choppy stock on a non-trending day) with a high degree of certainty. You have to learn to read the degree and speed of crossover between the %K and %D lines at the upper and lower envelopes.

    Prop Trading, a good use for $5000?

    Losing money is part of the learning curve. I don't know any complete newbies who were profitable right out of the starting gate. If they were, then they were not really trading much and thus not maximizing their learning experience. The old trading adage rings true: You have to lose money...

    Do Indicators lag?

    The leading indicators are momentum based oscillators. As their name implies, leading indicators are designed to lead price movements. Most represent a form of price momentum over a fixed look-back period, which is the number of periods used to calculate the indicator. For example, a 20-day...

    Prop Trading, a good use for $5000?

    The $5000 is a way for prop firms to limit their risk exposure while they evaluate new candidates. It has nothing to do with how "serious" you are. Any head trader can tell if you're serious by your daily performance, ability to follow rules and degree of pre- and post-market preparation. If...

    Fnys?

    Does anyone actually know someone who works at this firm? Are they really paying you a $45K SALARY (not a draw) to learn how to trade firm capital? And they DON'T require a capital contribution? And they're profitable? Someone pinch me and tell me I'm not dreaming. The FNYS business model...

    North Korean Nuc. Program

    You think the US will adopt tough tactics against N. Korea? Or will they treat them with kid gloves unlike the hard line stance against Saddam? The world will now witness the double standard that is US foreign policy.

    EchoTrade

    Why all the ruckus over .3 cents? Personally, I found that I traded better with a higher fee structure since this made me much more selective in my trades. I wrote about 70% FEWER tickets than I did when fees were minimal which resulted in less stress, higher net profits AND lower...
