    Surviving Daytrader Hell

    Friends and fellow traders, Are you like me? Wondering why the P/L is not as high as it should be lately. Geez, this volatility and tight ranges are getting boring. I am so behind on my goal for the year. However, this is not a post or a thread to bitch and complain. There is no use...

    Esignal Decimal Points for the Eminis?

    I didn't see them either. while we're on the subject of E-signal....what's the deal with not being able to have symbols flash a different color when hitting daily hi/lo's? Yes, i know about setting the alerts...but they suck..you gotta reset them or the color stays solid... has this been...

    advanced futures and global futures

    Just for some updates...I was considering Advanced, but am a bit concerned about these complaints, but even more so at what seems to be an increase in their RT cost. Is my memory bad or did they actually raise rates? Should I consider GHCO directly? Is there any drawback to that? The $10k...

    I cannot get this to work!

    Is the laptop getting any signal at all? (it may have a light on the task bar or the PC card itself). You may have the WEP encryption enabled or the settings might be different because of different manufacturs... in other words, there are security features that protect you from other people...

    2nd Income

    I don't have any other job, but would take something if I could find something fun. Bartending sounds good, but I don't know if I could stand around beer all night without drinking it . :D Play guitar..but not professionally. Was in a band last year..but just played together...

    Shorting with J-Trader

    There are no uptik rules/short rules etc with futures....so it's just "Buy" and "Sell"......thats really it. I like the "Dome" window on J-trader for order entry. Nice and simple point and click on the price. To place stops , point and right-click. Goodluck. Uptik2000:cool:

    Listening to music while trading

    One of the best improvements that I've made to my trading in the last year was to turn the TV off. If you think watching CNBC is going to get you important news fast then you really need a wake up call. Even if you do get the news, you need to know how to react to it. Want to know the...

    Series 55 exam

    Roger- From my experience (I have the series 7,63,31,65) you need to be sponsored by a exchange member firm. You may need to have the 7 (or 6) to be able to sit for the 55. Not sure if any firm would go through the paperwork etc to sponsor you unless they thought you were going to work for...

    Gene Weissman

    I had the pleasure of meeting Gene back in the fall of 2001 when I was looking at different firms. From the second I walked in his office I felt like he was giving me 110% of his full attention. and like many have said...very professional, and a nice guy. My deepest sympathies.
