    Jon Stewart is an idiot. Cramer was a partner at Goldman Sachs for Christ sake. Do we need to say anything more?

    25k at Bright and 10k at Echo. I don't remember how much leverage I had at Bright, but it was 30/1 at Echo.

    Calling all Echo and Bright traders

    I don't blame anyone. Both firms were great. Traded in an office with Bright and remote with Echo. Made no money at Bright. Manager of my office did not believe in their opening only strategy. Too much risk. Flew by the seat of my pants basically and floundered. Went back to retail...

    A guy hands you a card and he is a hedge fund manager...what do you do?

    In this environment you probably say "yes, I'd like fries and a shake with that" because most of the hedgies have blown up and work at Mickey D's now.

    Joining RBC/Carlin

    If you have been a broker for 15 years you must have a huge book and must generate some nice commissions. Don't walk away from that. I walked away from a $60 million book of biz cause I was burned out. Tried trading at Bright Trading.....didn't make the cut and went back to being a broker...

    trading nyse specialists

    Ask to see your mentor's K-1 from last year and his latest monthly p&l's. You want to know these guys are the real deal. At my first prop shop, the manager was making nothing from day trading. He made all of his living from longer term trading....selling option straddles against stock...

    s&p mini's

    Just curious.........I'm an equity scalper. Any S&P mini scalpers out there? I have never traded futures. Would love to try it out. Do you tape read with futures or is it all about trendlines and technicals? How would you begin if you are new to futures?

    Tape Reading Techniques??

    Here's a favorite set up............your stock gaps up big time for the open and continues to run with a little pause or two. Then the specialist gaps his market looking for contra sell interest to accomodate his buyer. The block prints 20 cents higher than the last trade. Most times....the...

    Tape Reading Techniques??

    Tape reading is such an art. The last response here about the seller stepping down to hit the bid and getting filled a penny above his order price is right on.......a sure sign that there were buyers waiting. When I see orders come into the NYSE open book and get filled with price improvement...
