Yes, that's the prop business "model". Tough to find a good deal...for the trader.

Fraud. Welcome to Fraudmerica.

I'd like to warn everyone here that Futures, Forex and Options are not welcome at most prop trading firms. Period. Their profit margins are much better with Nasdaq and NYSE equities. The other warning is that many prop shop trading "tools" are nothing more than order-entry devices. You'll have...

I would say you must show a compelling track record to get any BP above $100k. No one would take the chance of incurring a large loss. They are less scrutinous on $5k to $10k deposits.

Oh, I agree. BTW: Who wrote/sang that verse ?

Agreed, it's against the "let your profits run" adage. However, for day traders, capping is not a bad idea IF YOU DO IT INTELLIGENTLY: IF I HIT +$500, I QUIT AT +$250. IF I HIT +$1000, I QUIT AT +$750. Something like that....makes sense. It's effectively a trailing stop on your equity curve...

OK, so then the ICE's Russell 2000 is doing well then and the CME's strategy to replace it with the S&P 600 Small Cap has failed. Am I right on this ?

Ahh.....so ICE has done a poor job in taking over the emini Russell 2000. That figures.....so there is no real competition to the CME yet....or likely never will be any.

Sorry, I've been away from emini futures for a while and have not done my homework. To save me some research time, can someone chime in about the differences in liquidity, spreads, etc. between the ICE contract (RLM) vs. the CME's S&P small cap 600 ? I know the have different compositions, but...

I understand everything except for the above. Are these the sum of the price quotes coming back ? I don't see how that proves anything because there may be a DDE update to a cell without the price change (side-tick). I guess it all depends on the DDE server; they could remove side-ticks I guess...

Many lawyers in the USA are rich. What do they "produce" of value ? Think about it. This could mean we are already a .... "bullshit nation".

I haven't tested this. If this were the case, they should be passing back an array. Otherwise, each cell change triggers yet another worksheet change event function callback. With an array returned, only 1 worksheet change event is triggered.

You can implement the base Windows API functions GETTIMER and SETTIMER within a VBA module. However, there are all sorts of restrictions....no keyboard input allowed, can't be used within a custom class, etc, etc. These API functions have no restrictions, but they can be delayed if Excel cannot...

How does Excel interopt with the skin ? It's a pretty cool technique. I dispute that a bit. The reason being there is a huge difference between handling tick events FOR EACH SYMBOL vs. EACH SET OF SYMBOLS. In the latter case, it's a single message hitting the workbook for all symbols. Few DDE...

On CNBC this morning.....I see it running in the background with Carl Kintenea and Rick Santelli talking in the foreground. One chart is showing and then all of the red/green lights..... Is that Bloomberg ?

How old is the hard drive ?

Exactly. Deflation is still rampant. You cannot sustain an inflationary environment with a weak economy and high unemployment.

Oh, yeah, I can see Slick Willie having some of that fine ass. No doubt about it. What's wierd about this: they were already divorced...why would she do that for him ? I mean all MY ex did was rip me off. Something here is not quite "copasetick" if you get my drift....

Yikes !! She's now 65 years old ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denise_Eisenberg_Rich What a grand and glorious life she has lived !
