    Rule of 10 Journal

    I guess the one thing that might need clarification is the 'reaction' points. Glancing at the chart, here's how I would have seen today based on the rule of 10 premise: Circles = possible reaction areas Arrows = where actual trades could have taken place For today, 8/6/08, I...

    Rule of 10 Journal

    Should be interesting since the rule of 10 is mentioned in the ES journal.

    ES trading margin and tick

    Your numbers and assumptions are correct; however there's one thing being missed here... Trading 4 cts and lose 2 pts = $400. Now, let's say you have 3 losing trades in the day and no winners. Now that loss is $1200 = 24% of account in one day. And if you happen to get trade crazy...

    Openecry purchased by Optionsxpress -- uh oh?

    As posted in the other thread about this very topic, OEC is telling customers that it's 'business as usual' at OEC and this integration with OX just gives OEC a bigger backing. And since I've been told that, things have been in fact 'business as usual'. We can all speculate what this what...

    Question on account minimums (namely tradestation and velocity)

    Wow... this is the beauty of futures trading right here. Wants to deposit the massive $5000 and then withdraw as much as possible but still trade a highly leveraged instrument. This folks is why stocks have a $25k rule and why it would not surprise me if the CFTC/NFA enacted something similar...

    Brokers offering futures in IRAs

    I know you can trade futures in an IRA with Open ECry and I know OEC offers pit traded contracts... But, not sure if you can trade pit traded contracts in an IRA. Worth a call or email to find out though.

    T4 order entry Anybody use it or want to comment

    I was an avid T4 user and I would still be there had I not received a good deal with Open ECry AND liked the platform. By moving off T4 to OEC, I saved myself the $500/mo fee to T4.

    Internships and Alternatives

    My path went something like this: College Became a broker (not at MS) Got tired of the selling and quit to become a full-time trader In a nutshell, that's where I went. I enjoyed being a broker (esp the $$$ - was making very good money for being a recent college grad) but the firm I was...

    Internships and Alternatives

    I suggested that b/c I've been where you are. I interned a summer at Morgan Stanley and it really helped the resume and lead to some great interviews as well. And all I did at the office was make cold calls for a broker. It sucked, but getting the experience on the resume turned out to be...

    Internships and Alternatives

    It's not exactly what you want, but a Plan B can be to intern at a financial advisor's office. If the goal is some sort of finance/stock experience on the resume, it is an option. Many brokers can use someone in the summer at cheap labor.

    How do I do this, show a picture ?

    That would be the easy way. Any somewhat recent forum software offers this option but since ET is running some old software, even simple stuff is rather time consuming. How about we start with a WYSIWYG editor? LOL

    PPT Cometh!

    What exactly is 'un-american' about the stock market going down? Let's see... Gov't has little to zero regulations about loans. Banks hand out money to basically anyone. For some reason, that plan did not work. Now the market is going to weed out all the losers. ====== There...
