    TradeStation Securities announces new commissions

    easy........they don't 1.2 cents a share is A LOT more than what I pay or anyone in my offices pays. I pay much less than a penny and ISLAND and INCA pay me to trade there more often than I pay for an ECN fee. Robert

    SuperMontage vs. ISLD Hidden Orders

    I know with my Software I have the ability to hide Island orders and I think maybe even ARCA. I prefer to be hit though and want my orders seen. Robert

    Home alone vs office

    This is actually the best thing to do. Find out about all the offices in your area and visit them all. Talk with the managers and even more importantly talk with the traders. You will know if there is a good match. Robert Tharp ___________________________________________________...

    Best Money Management Sources

    He is completely dumbfounded. Dave Mobley spent over $80,000 worth of money on consulting fee's, A lot of these consulting sessions involved getting into a human's deepest and darkest hidden emotions. Usually everything comes up. Somehow Dave was able to never bring up these feelings...

    Best Money Management Sources

    he's human. Greed became involved. 80% returns (after the so called fee's) with almost no losing months for 3 or 4 years?? Robert

    Best Money Management Sources

    Since I'm his son I should reply especially to straighten out the facts. The Maricopa fund that Dave Mobley ran was a ponzi scheme. He found investors claimed huge returns that were false and paid original investors with money from newer clients. I personally had over $200,000 with...

    misconception about futures

    options will always allow you to hedge yourself flat during lock limit up/down. They are still trading. Do a conversion/reversal and you are than market neutral. The floor will make you pay a premium for this but you can protect your risk Robet

    OPG Orders

    Well Vinny quite a few reasons. First I can get my shorts off (sorry for being so vulgar) on the first print. Might not be able to get another uptick. The second thing is a lot of times the first print IS THE BEST PRINT. Robert

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    Nitro There are some gems in your posts. I agree wholeheartedly again. By being able to think for myself, have a general view of what is working NOW in this market and what worked before I can trade well and in the future. Robert

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    I agree Nitro. I think this board knows pretty who my father is and he has written quite a lot about expectancy of systems. So this isn't new concept to me. Robert

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    I KNOW A LOT BETTER THAN TO COMMENT much on arbitrage systems. All I can say is that they involve profiting from something being inefficient. The more who exploit it the sooner the hole closes. I know of a few but have seen the hole already get tighter. I can give an example of one...

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    This thread is rather interesting to me. I started it so I'll add more imput. I know highly profitable systems that are right less than 50% of the time. Yes your read that right.!! They involve catching longer term trends. I tend to only be right about 40% of the time when I find...

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    Thanks Darkhorse. I like that second part of the quote above. It is actually one of the things that brought me originally into stocks is the elephants in the stock market are rather inefficient compared to futures. They tend to hold very long term time frames and almost not use stops. I...

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    I don't take this as an attack. especially when you say it a few times (which usually says you feel like it is but are trying to soften the blow). I am putting my reply on this thread though instead of the Opening Orders thread. Actually I still believe in sharing. This comes from a...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    Jon I reread your thread. I still believe in giving opening and heartly in my life. This won't change as it does come back to me 10 fold. I just try to find other ways to give other than with all the specifics of my trading strategies. I do understand though that there is a cycle and...

    Profitable Strategies being impacted by the #'s using them.

    This came up on the Opening Orders Thread but it really does deserve a thread of it's own in my opinion. I know a few arbitrage systems that do really well. I've learned using some of them how to easily make $2000 per day with them with very little risk. I noticed though soon after...

    Don's Openings Pt. 2

    I had a big change of beliefs when I started doing arbitrage. When you see free money and start making a high 3 figure salary, than teach it to a few more and notice your 3 high salary is getting less and less especially when you are fighting for fills with the same guys than it becomes more...
