    Pairs Trading

    Yes, backtesting would be nice, but we all know that anyone can optimize the data to get any results you want. Do you really believe backtesting results posted on a website?? All I know is that I have been using this system for a couple months and I am making about $300-$500 a day, trading...

    Platinum Plus Trading?

    This firm is probably a scam: 1) They registered their domain on 1/09/07 with no business address or contact info. 2) They didn't even have the money to put up a website. Can't figure out what the scam is, but they are probably not legit! http://www.platinumplustrading.com/

    haircut charge

    I guess the old saying "We mock what we don't understand" applies here. I don't trade at Bright and make very good money day trading pairs. Maybe pair trading is too complicated for you to understand. Trading pairs takes a little more work and knowledge than directional trading. If you...

    SpeedTrader?

    I'm no tech wizard, but can you tell me how a 0 ping time is possible? Also, not to split hairs, but Genesis is faster to Brut according to the websites, and Speedtrader doesnt report Arca speed, which Genesis is 1.5ms. BTW, I trade on Genesis's API and I am AMAZED how fast it is!!

    Is there a Genesis group I can join and get a retail account?

    I was curious if I could piggy back on the volume of some of the prop shops. They do millions of shares every month. I'm sure they can get a better rate than I can. Sandy

    Is there a Genesis group I can join and get a retail account?

    After doing a lot of research I am considering switching to Genesis. I'm a little leary of joining one of the prop firms, plus 4-1 is enough for me, since I have $100,000+ to put into my account. Is there a group that will allow me to get low rates, plus the advantage of having SIPC insurance...

    Are you STILL excited/happy with being a daytrader as the day you first started?

    Well, I disagree with you. So let's agree to disagree. Although after todays market action it definitely felt like a negative sum game to me!!

    Are you STILL excited/happy with being a daytrader as the day you first started?

    Michael, You must be with the wrong broker!!! You must not get full ECN rebates and posting on ARCA! Just kidding....I don't want to be accused of having an agenda! Now I see how threads go off on all different tangents! And no, I'm not naive enough to think everyone wins! Sandy

    Are you STILL excited/happy with being a daytrader as the day you first started?

    Now, I said it was simplistic.....but from www.investopedia.com...the definition of a zero sum game is: "What does it Mean? A situation in which one participant's gains result only from another participant's equivalent losses. The net change in total wealth among participants is zero; the...

    Are you STILL excited/happy with being a daytrader as the day you first started?

    Like I said in my last post.....I should have stayed a lurker.....but I would like to respond. 1) you wrote: "Professionals will tell you the risks, Amateurs will tell you about the profits." Yes. I agree with you on that. My point of telling the board my "profits" was to let the...

    Are you STILL excited/happy with being a daytrader as the day you first started?

    Man.....I should have stayed a lurker!!! 1) I don't know anyone on this board and didn't "brand" anyone. I just pointed out that there was a lot of negative comments on this forum. For example: this is from two of your posts: "The house(Market) always wins. Play long enough, you never...
