yep he is making money still The rebate on the cap is one of the main keys for him though. Robert Tharp

Well we can just look at the cycles of how markets move. Usually we have 7 years of a bull market followed by a bear market that is short and severe, than a few years of going sideways, than a bull, than a bear.......... so try to figure out where we are. (Hint bull markets will...

Hey Thought this could be a fun thread to do. A lot of posters use strange handles for their user names. I'd like to hear how they came to choose that user name handle. Like Don Bright... It "Don" ed on his parents that he was going to be very Bright....jk Don Mine...

The markets have changed no doubt about that. There are still trades who trade size though. There is a trader at my firm who loves LU trades in blocks of 5700 and 9700 shares and sometimes more. He is Paying less than anyone else at the firm when you include the cap. Robert

Beg to differ..... How do you out perform the market? Well think outside the box for a second First the golden rule of trading is cut your losses short and let your profits run. If we are in a bull market you want to buy all of the stocks that are going to outperform the indexes...

Don how much of Amazon at $150 do you want? I'm able to sell it to you easily at that price and I'm happy to do as many as you want. :D Robert

now that quote caught my interest with a user name of Julie and hearing lack of clothing. I'll chip in for a webcam for ya :D Robert

I just had this posted in another post. Being able to get out of all your positions in seconds in case of hardware failure, a bad internet connection, brokerage software going down and so forth. Read all of the comments on the broker section on IB and notice quite a few say it's...

Vinny1 Don covered it. There is a cap no matter what and that's with Echo and Bright Robert

If your order is filled for 2500 shares 4 times on a 10,000 lot order than your cost is $25 Robert

Visit the office of all the firms in the area to see how they differ. Again an anonymous message board isn't the best way to hear about a firm. Sit down with Bright's manager and interview him and some of his traders, sit down with Echo's manager and interview him and some of the...

And of course when IB goes down / or your internet connection goes down while you have 5000 shares on .... it doesn't matter that you can't reach customer service in 2 seconds to get out? I put the ability to get out of my positions in an a hurry no matter what very high. Which...

Ask yourself why the market is around? For companies to raise capital. When you put your capital into a company it helps raise the price so that they can have dividends eventually to take it out or use part of the stock price to purchase another smaller competitor. Robert Tharp

I try to not have an opinion on the market and charts. It's kills my trading. I have long set up and short sets up, opening orders, and a few filter systems I run. I play them when the market dictates to play them. So that's why I avoid those posts lately Robert

Not always with the cap on commissions at Echo and Bright Our LU trader pays less than .000025 for a trade ____________________________________________

LOL.... ECHO didn't take the name because of that. It's a high end trading station/platform/ server backed up by another and another, and another..... Robert

A quote of that nature is coming from a perspective that the market's are completely predictable. If that were the case there wouldn't be a market. The top hedge fund managers tend to only be right about 40% of the time. Think about this question what if the markets were completely...

This is something I'll address really fast. My father works with a lot of hedge fund managers, banks, independent traders and such. It is his experience that the worst traders are actually employees of a firm where they recieve very little compensation for their performance. Most of the...
