Hi, I also would like to take the 7, but as I am not trading with a FINRA firm, I cannot. However, here is a blurb I received from FINRA: "The CBOE doesn't hold licensing for all exams, so once the U-4 has been submitted by the firm, they must check the appropriate registration under CBOE...

Thanks, I definitely would be interested in forming an AOL IM group or Blackberry Mesenger IM...there are a couple of other people also interested. Cheers, Brendan

Hi, just to update...I asked an experienced day trader and he felt the e-minis have about a five second lead on the regular .SPA or .SPX indices, so maybe I will keep them after all. Gonna look for some ETFs now that match Google Finance Sector performance (right on the home screen of...

Thanks, I am doing the best I can to learn by layering...but wanted to check with some other traders out there and see what they use to monitor the overall market. Another indicator I see is .INX, the S&P 500 INDEX,RTH per Google Finance. So I have the following options: 1) e-mini futures...

Just to clarify, I would like to look for morning pre-market setups based on gaps and use the futures or .SPX to help compare relative strength and provide a basis of comparison to the price direction of a particular stock. I am interested in knowing which index people have found to be...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to get your consensus. I am currently paying for the futures stream on Lightspeed. I like to look at the e-mini S+P for market direction, and have it up as a separate line chart, with MACD and RSI indicators. I also have .SPA and .SPX on my Watchlist. The .SPA...

Oops! CNBC said someone hit "billion" instead of "million"...

I'm glad I wasn't long anything. I'm flat, and missing the action. Wow, this is the first correction I am witnessing....

Thanks for the heads up! I am working right over the border in Connecticut, but always enjoy events in the city.

I thought to modify my original post and suggest AOL IM. If anyone out there wants to link up and bounce trade suggestions off each other, I will be glad to chat via AOL IM. I have it running at work, but would appreciate discussing possible trade setups or good trades in play. Thanks!

Hey, I am trading equities on Lightspeed. Looking to link up with other traders and find a platform to post trade recommendations (entry, stop, and profit target) levels.

Hey fellow daytraders, I am not a member of a chat room with ideas for trade trigger/stop/target levels, but I wondered if anyone is connected out their via their Blackberrys? It would be interesting to receive possible trade alerts via the Blackberry Messenger, whereby someone's idea could...

Hey, I have no bias for or against SMB. I just spent some time on their website and saw that they had organized morning meetings and mentoring to help people once they go live. It looked like a good to me...certainly more assistance that just learning by demoing and trial by fire once the...

LOL Comedy with the spam... Well, I was in the same boat and looked around at the options. SMB looks to have a great focus on training and mentoring. I also checked out The Angle Group (was my first exposure to seeing the Lightspeed platform and live trading). Gaining access to a demo...

I came across the platform offered by a proprietary trading/training firm: http://www.smbtraining.com/overview/smb-intraday-trader. You can see an image of their intra-day alert system. This is the kind of chat window I had in mind. I am sure that the same effect can be accomplished via a...

Dear trading community, Was curious whether there is a simple instant messenger designed for active traders/prop trading floors. Besides AOL IM or other standard chat programs, can anyone recommend a functional IM program where one person can input advice based on changing market conditions...

And I received one final follow-up from CBOE, essentially stating: "I think the only time a license will be listed, is if you're currently registered with a Member firm or if your status has terminated with a Member firm, the license status will still appear, but with a status of terminated. I...

thanks for the consensus. Yes, I took a quick look at Gain's new platform...even Lightspeed forex has a similar platform and uses Gain as the counterparty. It would be nice to try to bid inside the spread and see multiple bids and offers from other market makers, which cannot really seem to be...

Hi Forex Traders, I recently opened an account with Tradestation and have only been trading the demo. I have noticed on multiple instances that when I enact a Market buy order, it is not filled where the tick is (trading on a 1-tick chart). When I close out the position, the order is filled...

Okay, I received this reply from CBOE: "The CBOE doesn't hold licensing for all exams, so once the U-4 has been submitted by the firm, they must check the appropriate registration under CBOE and that exam would need to be completed along with submission of cleared fingerprints in order for...
