    Professional Trading Tour

    When I read "Market Wizards" I remember reading about one trader who would go in to work every single day of the year, but the opportunity for his setup only occurred 1-3 times a year. When it did, he made six figures on it. Think how bad he'd feel if he decided to take a day off and that was...

    Professional Trading Tour

    I think too many people are trading during the week. The "presenters" are included in this, and as they are successful in the market, why would they want to miss out on another day in it?:D

    Definitely concerned when 16 out of 17 were short, but it was pretty much text book on an individual stock basis and a nice morning overall

    VWAP trading

    I think the speed of change of the VWAP is in direct proportion to the time of day. In the morning, yes very fast changes. In the afternoon, it's got to get some real size at prices to overcome all the stock that was printed early in the day.

    Anyone snag MMM?

    I was wondering if anyone out there snagged MMM for a quick pop. If so, what news source did you use for the heads up?

    Do's and Don'ts of trading at a prop firm

    In working with hundreds of prop traders, probably the biggest difference I've noticed between retail and prop trading styles is the use of capital. Many times retail traders will have a losing position on a $50 stock with a value of say $40K while having $20K in their account. And maybe...

    Nyse Nx

    It becomes a regular limit order automatically. Yes, as long as the bid/ask is NX'able (more than 100 shares, no better price on another market, 5 cent rule, etc.) It becomes a regular limit order. Cash

    Don's Openings, Part 6 2003

    Yeah, I was frantically checking my program parameters to make sure I hadn't entered something in wrong! Like 80% on the short side. But I kept seeing green, so I stuck with it and it was nice!

    Spock vs. Kirk in Investing ...

    How 'bout Janeway? I think she'd be a lousy trader, but a worse manager... she'd take over your losing trades for you so YOU wouldn't get hurt... even if it took down the whole firm.
