    Guess I should stay away then, I'm happy with AAPL and VLO and all those that move very nicely during the day anyways. Steve, do you trade fast or slow moving stocks?

    No, I never look at news, forms bias for me. I just turn on the charting package in the morning and scalp the price from what I see. I thought about trading earnings, but have not tried yet, something to attempt in the future I guess :)

    If you go to a prop firm where you put up "risk capital" they usually don't care what strategy you use, you just hopefully make money from it :)

    Sweet, got it. You trade the higher cost *fast moving* type stocks or the lower cost *slower moving*? Just interested in your trading, because I always check out your blotter, but always curious as to how you get to your results. I'm assuming it's probably like Red_Ink's and others that...

    Many choices of prop firms. I wouldn't worry about a prop firm blowing up on you, seems like trading is taking off a lot of the new prop firms are getting a lot of traders, so it might be awhile before any blowing up occurs, but what do I know. If you really do fear prop firms. Go to...

    I guess I'm not good then :( But I'm still doing 100 - 300 lots, and lately haven't made as many trades. Steve, how many trades would you say you take a day on average?

    It really depends on the person. A good prop trader can make tens of thousands a a day if he decided to risk that much. It depends on their risk. If I had the capability to buy 10k shares of AAPL and scalp that all day long, well you can see how the profit or loss could be substantial. The...

    Remote prop firms with Stering Trader Pro?

    I got spam in my inbox for Golden Market Management. Fact is, if a firm has to spam a message board, and spam my inbox, it is not worth it and the firm must be crap. I'd rather go to a firm where traders want to go, not to a firm where they are spamming websites asking for traders to come...

    The most expensive lesson you have learned in this business...

    Having ANY expectations when you first get into this business can be a real morale killer *but also an ego killer as well, which is good*, you have to be strong to pick yourself back up after being proven that it was as difficult as you thouht it might be..... but is much MUCH harder than that...

    Feed & Charting platform setup advice requested

    Big problem..... why are you trading with FXCM. 3 pip spreads, negativity surrounding them on ET, I personally have an account with them and don't like what is going on. Why not InterbankFX, Oanda, or even Interactive Brokers? Also, if you open an account with InterbankFX you get...
