Hello, A quick question for the board. Is it unusual or noteworthy if a prop firm weren't registered with any recognized regulatory body? I've noticed that some of the LLC props have no listing at NASD. Thanks!

Hi Baron, I'm sure you are already aware of this situation, but I just wanted to point it out in case you didn't know / authorize these mails. Here is a copy of a message I received the other day. I haven't been active at ET for a long time, so I was surprised to see it. The subject heading...

After reading "how I made..." I picked up "Las Vegas" and was pretty disappointed. It's not a bad book but I wouldn't describe it as inspirational nor educational. You'd be better off putting some $$ elsewhere IMHO.

I debated whether to add that part because I knew people were going to focus on it despite being asked to ignore it. His commissions are a bit high, but he gets a lot of perks, 100% payout, no addtional charges, and a monthly salary. All in all it's a pretty good deal.

Just keeping this thread alive in case it got buried under all the "CD for sale threads."

Hi, A friend of mine [for reasons too complex and potentially off topic to detail] is looking to trade 1 million shares per month. He will have access to 10:1 buying power, but is stuck paying somewhat high commissions [$0.015 / share]. He is wondering what his minimum account size should be...

If it isn't an imposition / proprietary, would you mind posting the EL? Personally I can't use it since I'm strictly EOD, but the study looks interesting. Thanks!

Recent polls suggest that approx. 50% of the voting US population feel the same as Tiger O - are they all idiots, too?

Um, I think the reason you are getting some flak is because you are at the wrong board. This is a board for people who trade, not investors. Most of us don't hold positions "for the long haul." In my own case, at the moment I'm holding 3 postions - 2 shorts and a long. In all 3 cases, I don't...

Why did you make Gordon Gekko so stupid?

Since downloading this version of TS some of my custom indicators have gone ka-blew-i (that's the technical term). A red line forms across the screen - even on indicators with no red plot.

Jetheat, Ignore Harrytrader for now - he's either brilliant or crazy, most of us haven't decided which, yet. Either way he'll probably just confuse you. So far you've gotten a few replies that contradict each other a little because you haven't told us what you are trading. The nuances of...

Most people think of margin as a kind of collateral, but depending on the instrument you are trading, it is more like a down payment. In the case of spot-fx the market maker is usually the person offering you the money. From their point of view it is a no lose situation. If you use most of...

Were you short TARO BEFORE the gap? I was briefly long TARO after the open and made some good money - but I sure as hell would have preffered to be on the short side before the sky fell. If you were short from the day before, how did you identify it as a potential play?

Hey! I'm outraged by this post! There is nothing in Dookie's original post to suggest that he's sexist. I'm sure he gives equal time to the female farm animals. :mad:

It sounds as though you are using tradestation. Correct me if I'm wrong. Your profit target is the amount you think you can get out of the trade, while your B/E stop is the amount the trade has to go in your favour before the program bumps your stop up to your entry price. Let's look at an...

First time I've ever agreed with Gekko

Hey Baron, I'm NOT a techi but your suggestion that a trojan virus on our machines is looking for script or something doesn't make sense to me. Until recently my ActiveX blockers never kicked in when I visited ET. And they don't show up on other web sites... I'm Confused??

Nana you started a thread that publicly announces you are looking for people to help you break the law! And you get annoyed when the owner of the property from whom you are trying to steal asks you to cease and desist? Get real. Personally I quite enjoyed Mr. Conway's book. I got a lot out of...

A vendor that sues his clients?? Makes me want to send him money! The good news is that buddy Brad told us where the alleged court proceedings will be held. Burlington is a mid-sized town just outside of Toronto - we can all follow the public record! Cheers to fun reading
