Are there any books that tell the story of the Hunt Brothers cornering the silver market in the 80's? Thanks.

get in line bud. everyone wants to be a trader. i can only assume you know nothing and therefore wouldn't be able to make nothing IMHO.

Say's a lot about the "traders" at swift lol.

Just wondering for some feedback at what is trending well right now. Cheers!

Here's a better lesson mnx, learn how to "trade" before straying off from your joke of a strategy arbing the millenium book. What in the world made you think you had the skill to do anything else?? You fully deserved to lose $6000 and probably more. The ego on these swift...

First of all you don't make 50% of your gross at Swift. The best you can do is something like 46% and getting to that level is pretty unlikely. Please stop lying to make yourself feel better. Additionally I would hardly describe what you do at Swift to be "trading". You guys aren't traders...

Look at this. The incredible sammy from swift makes an appearance. I like how your signature is just "s". Like you're so well known in the industry that all you have to sign is "s" and people will know who it is. Listen guy, don't ever make comments on people who actually trade as you...

Very true momo. Great post!

That's just ridiculous mnx. The reason you can't blow up at swift is not because you're trading their money but because they have initiated juvenile stop losses to make sure you "traders" (if that's what you call yourselves) can't lose too much. Say's a lot about the people who work for Swift...

91 longs, 232 shorts. avg position size 11,200 shares. gross profit $52,841, net profit $$43,411. One of my better days. Above average for sure.

I agree with Don. Rebate trading (and I use "trading" very loosely) is a joke. I know the Canadian firm of which Don speaks and it will make me very happy when I learn of their demise. Not only is their business model unsound they are also the most unethical people on the face of the earth...

I also find that my stops are completely random. How do you guys determine how much you're willing to lose before admitting your wrong?

Thanks a bunch for the reply NihabaAshi. I trade Nasdaq (primarily) a bit of NYSE, ETF's. What I'm looking to do now is trade the stocks that are in play for whatever day (today TASR). What I find myself doing is just sitting down behind my PC and going at it. I am aware of any economic...

When you talk about data assembly are you referring specifically to technical analysis? I guess I need to have a starting point specifically outlined for me. Sorry if this is annoying. Thanks for any and all help!!

I have been a scalper (which has lead me to believe that no amount of preparation will be beneficial) but am currently switching to become an intra day positional trader. Since position trading is relatively new to me, what should I be looking for pre market, market hours and post market...

I've heard a lot of people say that trading is hard work. I'm relatively new to the industry but from my two years of trading experience I would have to agree. I was wondering what makes trading hard work. Is it the preparation before the market opens? If so what type of preparation do you...

Zinc, Why would a big firm shell out cash to someone who "wants" to be a trader but has no actual experience? If this is how it worked than there would be a lot more traders and a lot more bankrupt firms. I'm all for setting a goal and pursuing it but you have to be realistic and...

Why wouldn't you want to start your career at a prop house? Do you think you're too good for that Mr No Experience?? Believe me when I say you have virtually zero chance to land anything at a big firm unless you want to start out as coffee boy and work your way up to trader (which takes...

Agreed except for the market retesting/breaking October lows. That's a bit ridiculous.
