You can try www.investertech.com. It used to be free but I don't think it is anymore. Good luck.

It all depends on which branch you go to , who you talk to and how good you are at negotiating. Every trader is different. If you do overnights everyday then it's certainly fair for ANY prop firm to ask you to put up more. For the majority 5000 or less is reasonable in my opinion. I hope...

Again, like I said before I was just having a little fun. I didn't think anyone would seriously consider doing that. But hey, if that will make them feel better..... Right now it's pretty clear who's the thief here and who's going to jail first.

I'm finished with you. Good night everyone. Good luck to all Worldco traders.

I was just trying to be funny but since you've been rude to everyone so far. I have to say that why don't you get a life some where else. Stealing??? Who's stealing whose money right now??? Worldco wants their assets back then give back the money. Fair trade don't you think?

Obviously you are not a business man (never will) and don't know the meaning of the RISK of doing business. What's wrong with putting up a couple of thousand? Is that too much to ask for since you claimed before that you were making some serious money. Why are you so afraid?

Better yet, all Worldco traders who have their money frozen, just walk out with all the monitors and pcs and all their assets. You got 2 weeks to do it. Then aution them off on the ebay and try to recover some of your money. God bless! p.s. Moderator, I agree that Chirs Watts has to go...

nx is only good for 1000 shares or less. So if you want to nx an odd lot the max is 999 shares.

Actually that's quite possible with basket trading. My average is about that too but the volume is only about 1/3 of SilverBullet's. I remember on Monday when we had that huge reversal one of the guys at my firm had over 100 positions @500 shares each long. Before the closing bell he...

Thanks Don. So you were long on that. I must misunderstood your post. That was nice on Merck. I would've shaken out by him. Didn't enter OO today at all which I'm glad I didn't. I'm looking at my spreadsheet and it shows all losing trades.

The commissions are high when you first start but that's everywhere. Once you become positive you can negotiate on anything. The rates are definitely fair over there. The only thing I disliked was that their systems were down a lot. Hope this helps and good luck.

Originally posted by mrktrend Don, I just checked the TOS for FNM from yesterday. Obvisouly you got filled on the short at the open and you held on. My question is what did you do at 09:34:56 when the big bid showed up (455 @73.09)? Why didn't you cover? I don't trader FNM at all so I'm...

nylord, what I do sometimes is keep statusing the specialist for a market order that doesn't get filled. They really have no excuses for not filling a market order especially when it comes to the big-cap stocks. The print goes off every second. JNJ is another one of those a**h*** specialist...

Don, did you mean to place both buy and sell after you get filled? So if you get filled on the buy side you put a sell stop right away and vice versa??? I got screwed on HD today. Filled on the short side and went market buy immediately after I saw the futures were ripping. Filled me on...

I do trade gold sometimes but I noticed that it's getting harder to tell which direction it's going during the day. For example, I used to buy them all when all the futures go down (they are suppose to go in the opposite directions). However they don't do that anymore. Look today market...

I'm in Big Apple. Hope you guys come here since this is where the most of the prop traders are concentrated. Took today off and couldn't believe my eyes when I turned on the CNBC. Who were buying all that s^@%. Oh well, there are opportunities everyday.

Magda, do you work at Worldco? I thought you started trading part-time yourself over there. So you should know and understand why your boyfriend was looking at the charts all the time. Well unless you are another Magda out there then I apologize.

Don, Do you guys ever come to the east coast and offer seminars? The 1-day workshop sounds pretty good to me. Got to work late on Monday and missed doing OO. But yesterday and today were decent. Made 55c on GE but lost 20c on BBY (again) today. I need to drop that BBY off my list...

Don, would you ever consider using envelopes bigger than 1% on each side under certain market conditions like today? If no, why?I used 1% and a couple at 1.2% today. Only did the buy side today and got 2 filled (average 50c). Didn't make too much since I'm still experimenting with 200 shares.
