I'm pretty sure that you can't get pro leverage without a series 7. Definitely not at Echo, anyways.

Caveat Emptor. Most highly speculative investment/small business opportunities fail. That's life. What pro firms do by teaching newbies to churn, is no worse than most 'business opportunity' adds you see in any newspaper. When doing business, one must assume that their counterpart has their...

On Jan 3, 2001, I was caught heavily short when the fed put in a surprise mid-day rate cut. I lost $2,500,000 in about five minutes. Can anybody top that? :eek:

Excuse me? You're a professional. You have a series 7 licence. You're a grown man. How can you possibly think you're entitled to any sort of compensation from a firm that you should have known would try to promote their own interests? Here's a concept: <b> Personal Responsibility </b>...

Blow is immensly popular among the floor traders, and I can see why. Phsyical stamina & shouting/pushing/shoving/cursing/waving better than the competition are probably more important than any anylitical ability. For an off the floor daytrader, from my experience, blow does more harm than good...

I'm pretty sure the answer to Q2 is infinity. The other two are just too tough for me.

I prefer working at home so strongly, that I'm forced to pay $930/month for my own T1. The Chicago suburb I'm moving to this summer has no DSL or cable modem availability. I wouldn't be surprised if a few more of you have residential T1's.

If you do it right, it's not gambling- it's gam bling bling.

I pointed this out two months ago, and got zero responses. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=242140&highlight=fossil#post242140 or http://tinyurl.com/ebxu This can be one hell of a sleeper technology! Synthetic fossil fuels would change everything!

I'm a trader, and I spend hours every day playing Omaha hi/lo split....does that count?

A pre-emptive visit to the cops would be a good idea, except you're likely to run into a dumb lazy chief Wiggum donut eater type. Instead, just secretly record your conversations with the bitch. At radio shack, you can buy a phone attatchment that hooks up to any phone, and records every...

I'm currently in transition from my (former) prop firm office, to trading pro, from home. I'm now with Echo, and I intend to set up quad-monitors. Analysis articles are mentioning "DUAL-PROCESSOR" configuration... I guess if you need speed, and you have the video signal going to 4...

Dude, some of these former Soviet bloc countries have been making incredible progress. The Czech Republic is pretty underrated....besides, have you seen the incredibly hot chicks over there?

Yidi possasee oopianova yoshika. That's Russian for "Go perform fellatio on a drunk porcupine". By far my fave curse of all time :D

I bought an Infiniti G35 coupe last week. I was looking to replace my wrecked 3000GT with something similar, and I choose to boycott big-ticket German products. The G35 seemed like my best option. 280hp with 270 lbs. torque... pretty sweet ride for $39,000. (37K without NAV)

Let's say a theorhetical individual was very good at online poker, winning about $20,000. Let's say this theoretical person were to stubornly insist that government has no right to loot 40%+ of his hard earned winnings. Of course it is every American's patriotic duty to help finance the...

An awesome study manual for dealing with girls under the age of 20 is 'Nice Guys Don't Get Laid': http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0963582607/qid=1054360570/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-5824850-3480809?v=glance&s=books

Why so much hostility? You realize that you're the sucker for depriving these pleasures from your own life? Besides, after I agreed with you on the religion threads, I'd expect a more courteous response. RESURRECTION? Maybe you're confusing me with someone else? Incidently, I should...

I do enjoy meat, cigarrettes, sex with sluts, booze & drugs, and I'm not willing to give up any of these things. ...and if my habits shorten my life by 5 to 10 years.....big fucking deal. The last 5-10 years of the elderly are their worst years anyways. So maybe I'll be spared the pleasure...

A husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.....Of course the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course. The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize...
