    Would you give up a steady job to Trade?

    Like I said, if he can get back into the same position, then all he's really putting in is time since the prop firm is paying him a salary. Am I making 200K/yr from trading? No, not yet, but my goal is certainly not 100-150K/yr if I go full-time. I would have to be doing $200K+ to go...

    Would you give up a steady job to Trade?

    Depends....can you get back into a similar position as you hold now if you fail in trading? If so, and you have minimal monthly expenses, I would recommend going for it. The opportunity is really good if you can make it. I would expect a decent prop trader to make $200K+. So, it's a 1:3 R/R for...

    TWS - any way to customize OCA length?

    TWS - any way to customize OCA length?

    I agree. That would be a big help! Here's usually how I enter my order: 1. Click on Bid/Ask to create the order line 2. Attach Auto-stop, which by default is 8 ticks away from the entry price. Now, I may not transmit the order right away in order to fine-tune the entry price, so I may...
