    April Consumer Confidence: 92.9%

    well, it wasn't the eco # but the move after that stopped me out of my short SOX calls . To see it end near the low was a disappointment to say the least. A stop is a stop and after looking at the indexes now I see only slop and chop. I think it might be best to take a day or two off ...

    Getting into daytrading and starting with Echotrade questions??

    jack, I'd second what Durango said and just add that I traded some $ with Echo for 2years and had a pretty good experience with them. I would always feel comfortable going back to them. I know a few guys in the NYC office. From what I hear, Nick is a good guy. And if they're gonna give you...

    VIX close 14.01

    I think that's because the indexes themselves are larger giving a bigger point range but on a percentage basis I don't think it's very big.

    Understanding Greeks

    except for the typical ET juvenile name tossing..this is a decent thread. And one that I might be interested in. Crimson started out with a inquiry about greeks. Many have said that greeks are important but none have provided a solid example as to how greeks will affect his or any position...

    Best way to get a financial advisor job at a brokerage firm

    I was a broker at two of the largest firms(MWD&MER) in the country. I do hold a degree from a good college and there were a few brokers who did not have degrees. Think from a branch manager's point of view. What are they motivated by? What do broker's do? If you can figure that out you...

    350 million shares traded at 11 30 with vix at 15.6

    Casey, Good post. I was gonna type the same. I'll just add this: It's funny how every once in a while (usually after a mkt run up) ET will get a few new members. Their first 10-50 posts are aboutwhat great traders they are. The next 50-100 posts are about bashing others. Then they post on how...
