    My experiences as a Hedge Fund Startup

    I don't think this is necessarily the evidence that HFStartup and retaildaytrader are the same poster. But retaildaytrader has a history of copy-and-paste other people's post and uses it as if it is his own. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2935654#post2935654 (My...

    Retaildaytrader's Twitter Account

    He thanked everybody for posting on this thread and shared knowledge, and very useful information, and other traders can benefit from it. From my count, I only saw Lucrum saying his calls sucked. LOL. Very entertaining indeed. :)

    Shorting Apple with a target of $250

    It seems to me he doesn't have any stops. He has so much conviction. If AAPL goes to $325 to $345+, he will probably average down and short more (at least claim so).

    how to meet monthly expense while growing trading capital?

    I think that if you are taking half of your trading profit each month to meet living expenses, you may be under-capitalized. 1) You have no provision for paying capital gain tax (as pointed out upthread). 2) You are assuming you will have consistent gains month after month. When you have...

    The optimal screen display... I think there are 2 things that you should consider. And do a little research in the color theory... #1) The overall luminosity (or brightness). #2) The contrast. And whether the light is originated or reflected. When you read a book, the light is...

    Maybe it's not the 49ers but the number 49. If you see "49" appear in your trading you are doomed. ;)

    Giving up on day trading?

    I have never agreed with what you posted either. I just have stopped commenting your mindless new posts, about one every few weeks, because you sound like a broken record. As much as many traders who are delutional thinking they can make lots of money day trading, you are also delutional...

    opening up two accounts to trade bid and ask?

    It's in the title. Specifically "bid" and "ask". That's why I got the impression that he wants to play market maker. I am waiting for his clarifications.

    opening up two accounts to trade bid and ask?

    Excuse me? PDT rules? Wash trades? Do they seem to be related with what the OP said: "opening up two accounts to trade bid and ask?" Buying on the bid and selling on the ask. You worry about PDT rules or a wash sale?

    opening up two accounts to trade bid and ask?

    What are you trying to do, really? So you keep buying with account A and keep selling/shorting with account B. Until you are out of buying power. Then what?

    Newbie looking for guidance

    matty I think you have a long road ahead of you. There are a lot of things you need to know in trading stocks. The very basic: when a company wants to raise money to expand, there are 2 ways to do it: 1) Borrow money from the public. That would be issuing company bonds. They pay...

    boze_man: Here are my opinions: RE: what size? 21, 23, 24, 27? 23" is very nice. I have one 24" while many are 23" and 22". I think you will find 24 very close to 23. If want to save some money go with 23. If you pick a 27", for viewing 1920 x 1080 resolution on a 27" is not...

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    Another trick... tlow... maybe in conjunction with washing your face or taking a shower. Sometimes in the heat of the battles, we tend to lose orientations. "We can't see the forest for the trees..." Looks like you watch a chart on ES that is tick based and is similar to a 1min interval (or...

    i7-900s vs Xeon processors - identical?

    It seems that from a price-performance perspective, i7 is a bigger bang for your buck for retail traders using desktops. Similar or better performance at a lower price. Unless you want to run your trading software on a server class machine.
