There's dozens and dozens of them. What specifically are you looking for?

If you're Muffy, you actually make Sykes sound smart.

It's simply a private trading firm that provides you leverage. Because of the way it's structured it falls outside Regulation T, which is where you get your 4-1 limit from. When you open an account you become a member of the LLC, not a retail account, so you are outside the pdt rules. It's...

Easy on the pm's guys. The chat room I was refering to above is a private room. Some of the superstars, past and present, of this here PnL thread and a few more of ET's finest. I'm not kidding when I say there were 8 or 10 of us that combined for a million bucks today. A day for the...

I figured I'd post since it's my best day ever. $90,600 on 313,000 shares. And I wasn't even in the top half of the pimps in our chat room.

It's Sunday morning and I just wiped out the partition on my trading machine that had Vista on it and am going back to XP. For the most part, Vista isn't that bad, but there are odd little glitches with certain programs that I just can't explain any other way than a Vista conflict. I was...

At most I widen out buys or sells, but not by much and I never pull one side completely. Across all opg strategies today, +48k. Almost all of it from longs. Some VERY sloppy trading on my part, left tons on the table.

I am a remote trader manager with Tuco and answer questions about the firm by pm because they are not a sponsor on Elite Trader and this site's advertising policy is that only paid sponsors can solicit and sell their products and services here. I am a long time ET member and want to respect the...

If 5 or 10 thousand dollars seems like a huge obstical to start trading, you might want to reconsider full time trading. The firm I'm with has remote traders in Europe, North and South America and Asia. Traders put up capital and get leverage and software. No licensing required. It's a...

I've found the transition to be fairly smooth. A lot better than I anticipated. Listed stocks are a lot more like nasdaq stocks now, as we expected they would be. The increased volatility is great, but it's very hard to move any size. It's a world of automated one lot machines and dark...

Why not trade remote with a US firm? Some will accept European accounts no problem.

Leverage, payout and commissions is not dependent and whether you're automated or not. There's many many threads and discussions on the above subjects. The automation specific questions you want to ask are about things like documentation and support of the api, co-location costs, routing...

The only comment I can make is that you are getting hosed on that deal you have. It's terrible.

Sounds like you're onto the start of a potential trading strategy. Identify, theorize, backtest, make some rules, trade.

I agree with the previous posters, the problem probably lies with the servers and connections your firm is using and not Sterling's product, which they license to use. I've heard the same complaints about HydraTrade from people using it at different firms. They were having all sorts of...

This is such a basic feature, I can't believe IB doesn't have it. If they do, they sure make it hard to figure out. All I want to know is how many shares I traded without having to copy and paste my execution window to a spreadsheet, then sum the total. Ideally, I'd like to know how many...

I run one screen on the laptop and the other 4 on the desktop which is under the desk. The IRC chat you see is the super secret "Ass and Tool Society" chat room. 10 or so guys (all from ET) who mostly trade from home. Three made over a million last year. $500,000 doesn't even get you in the...

I don't notice any significant heat coming off the screens at all. Not like the old days with 4 21" crt's right in front of my face. I have LG's and Planar's.

There's plenty of opportunity in stuff that's not trending. In fact, I generally hate trends.

Not planning to post daily but figured I'd contribute to start the year.
