It's hard to concentrate on trading in Vancouver when so much money is being made in Real Estate. What a place! I havn't been back to NY in a couple of years now. Still think about the years at Broadway every now and then. Vancouver is such a boom town, and beautiful too. regards

Christmas Party??? sure lets do it I'll contact daliddleguy and have him give details. I'm in Vancouver right now but can be in Nice for a party. Peter

Jacques, Even I know Claudia. Met her in '95, her old man (ie father) had just sold his phamaceutical company and bought her a boat (ship) that she lived on in Monaco. I lived in Nice on an assignment for a multi-national and I was taking French lessons in Villfranche. Thats one gal you...

No, I have in effect created my own 'index' and besides, index values have too long a time lag to be useful in 1 min or tick charts and in establishing the short term trends I use. Indexes are old news, whereas my custom index (my portfolio) is right up to the second. Good question. Wish I...

Lots of people will give you generic general advice, like keep your nose to the grindstone and grow big balls. The first real test of you and your system is paper trading. Use a real time program, even a weak one like the esignal version is OK. Adjust for slippage and commissions and see how...

excellent question, I would like to chart my portfolio in real time, any other suggestions?

I've seen it done. Something like this. Using RSP accounts, you and some friends (not relatives) buy into a small business so that all are at arms length. It has main activity in Canada, but it also owns a sub in the US. The sub is simply a trading acct with a US broker. The Sub makes money...

John I was a full time trader, infact trading made me a millionaire (before that I was a multi-millionaire). You asked what a former full time trader did.... My suggestion is go into some aspect of real estate and development. That is what I did and the money is far superior to trading...

An accident on the Port Mann blocked me. Next time.

Its a pretty big place, how do we spot you? Peter

I say 'daytrader'

I'll watch this thread for a time and location of a beer parlour.

Dominic For trading that I am familiar with, you don't have enough capital to make 100K per year. I trade for the first 30-60 minutes of the market, then go to work.(Westcoast) My results are 1% on capital per day. Thats capital, not buying power. I also have 2 days per month where I...

Don't know, I've been there on business and it was OK. Theres a Milestones with a bar near there too, if you would prefer, 1109 Hamilton St. Whats your call?

I'm good for a round, 6PM, Tuesday Feb 10 Place: Yaletown Pub, 1111 Mainland St. website: http://www.drinkfreshbeer.com/restbrew/yaletown/yaletown.html Peter

I trade a style similar to the Shortologist, I move in 1000 lots and trade about 3000 per day, try for about .35 profit and basically trade off of sentiment. I usually make my first move very early in the market. I only trade one stock although I am thinking about adding INTU to my reportiore...

Try eating my lunch, I'll kick your ass. Yes, I'm "only" a part-timer. Trading is not the highest calling, it is a calling. I build, and wouldn't give it up for the world. Right now I have three apartment blocks and a hotel on the go. I love trading, but compared to my day job, its not...

I'm mildly amused at the implied notion that full time traders are somehow the real thing and part timers are not. I trade for 1 hour in the morning (or less) then go to work. My profits are steady and substantial. Some of us part-timers know a hell of a lot about trading, and can make...

Whatduhyamean daliddleguy, Of course I showed up. And as for the top age being 30, (thanks for that...) Actually, I have 5 kids in college, Which explains why I have to trade In addition to working Geeze
