I've searched around on this website looking at different threads on charting software and now would like further assistance. I've used TCNet and Tradestation for charts. Tradestation had great charts, but it also is a whole platform which I don't need and would rather not pay for. TCNet has...

T-Rex, I appreciate your willingness to share your scalping methodology with us and I couldn't agree more with your statement that the market could care less about the education level of its participants. I was just offering a crumb of my knowledge to you. I'm sorry..... it won't happen...

Why is 85 shares the magic number? Also if you are a professional trader it costs 25 or 40 cents (i can't remember which) per share to execute through NYSE if you send odd lots.

Joe363 You are probably a Zoolander fan! :D

Another trader in my office said possibly in late January.

are conversions gone as well?

Thank you, I find your posts insightful!

Just stop, turn to your left, ask the person sitting next to you what to do, then follow his instructions!!! This person is likely an elite trader!

Has anyone else experienced ARCA problems? It seems that nearly everyday something goes wrong. I don't know if it is my software (GR8Trade) or ARCA itself. ISLD on the other hand gives instant executions and cancels.

I'm a new trader at a prop firm and am having a problem with overtrading. I am trying to be patient and wait for a trade to develop, but as I'm sitting in front of the computer and seeing the price move, I feel that I should be in to take advantage of the movement. I will see it move 20 cents...

I remember reading something back in May about the possibility of doing away with the short sale all together on extremely liquid stocks (no I don't have a volume number). I think they were discussing trying it for a few weeks at most. I don't know whatever came of it. Just thought I would share.

One would still need a buyer to pay up a penny to get into a short with the new rule, whereas with a bullet you can hit the bid. Now, who is going to be that buyer paying up a penny while the futures and stock are cracking. Yes, it is only a penny above the best bid whereas before it was a...

"There are several firms that do not require (in our case, let you) put up your money. Nor do they charge commission." Who are these firms that don't charge a commission? I'm a prop trader at a firm that does not require me to put up my own money, but charges a commission. Thank you!

What about getting stuck in a limit up/down situation?

How is the taxation more favorable?

I see that basically all mention of futures on this board are about ES. Do people mainly only trade the equity futures, or do some of you trade commodities, interest rate, etc?

I don't know what PDT stands for.

For those who have traded both stocks and futures, can you apply the same tape reading skills to futures that you used for stocks (obviously, only those who watched the tape for stocks will be able to answer this). Thank you all for you replies. This site has been a great learning...

It seems over the last few years of reading and learning about the markets and those who "claim" to be successful, many seem to either have been trading futures from the beginning or have shifted to futures later. I know the obvious advantage of being able to go short as easily as long may be...
