I miss trading, which is why I probably lurk around here even though I've already moved onto another career. If you can succeed during these times, imagine how well you'll do when (or if) it becomes a better environment to trade. I traded for almost 8 years and did well for myself. I spent the...

It's kind of a joke that new traders expect that they should be able to walk into an office with no money/no experience and be handed the opportunity to trade someone else's money, using their equipment, and their office. The reality is that you can do that, but it won't last.

I have a question regarding, if I want to copy a database from a website and paste it into excel for the purposes of then exporting it to a software program. When I copy the database into excel, the cell that should be the hyperlinks to various websites, shows up as the title of the hyperlink...

Or the Specialist can let the stock trade based off the supply and demand in the market place. I wasn't trading in '87, but I'm sure a major reason why the market went down 20% in one day is because Specialist's weren't performing one of their primary functions of creating a fair and orderly...
