How are some people getting .20/1000 while others are paying 10x as much? How much in % are these traders giving up to get that rate? I'm looking for an in-office rate with 99% payout, using my own risk capital.
What is the rate schedule one can expect these days for in-office trader, who doesn't do much volume but can regularly earn low/mid-5 figures monthly? I've averaged less than 2mm shares for a while now, but lately gotten into a groove and with some new strats and added size I'm expecting my...
In the specific case of a earnings related play such as CMG, EH action is critical.
I'd hate to think that Neke went long the stock after a 20pt spike/short after a 25pt drop simply because he needed to work his day job.
I'm sry, but you really can't scalp on a simulator in stocks, you won't see the effect your actual order will have on the bid/ask/tape. You can pretty much throw your results in the trash, especially if you are going to trade any size at all.
I just turned on my computer (granted, it's just a 6 yrold backup machine but it's got some stuff I need to get out before I junk it) and the monitors just stay black (after a quick no signal going to sleep msg). The keyboard blinks once, and then becomes unresponsive (I'm assuming because I...
I'm also looking at Bloomberg as an equity intraday trader, getting tired of relying on tradethenews botching the headlines and want to get it right from the source. So I'm looking at bbg mostly from a news standpoint, but my friend told me a bbg rep went to his firm and said something to the...
Ok sry I just stumbled on the answer using the query wizard, where they ask in the end whether you want to show each record or just a summary. I chose summary and SUM of p/l grouped by each stock.
I have made 2 tables, one a sheet listing all of my trades, and a second table with just basic statistical info on stocks I've traded (avg daily volume, market cap, etc).
What I would like to do is add a column TOTAL P/L on the second table which will sum up my p/l for each stock that I...
Why do I keep seeing ppl paying .002 per thousand, while I'm paying .04 PER SHARE? Granted, it's 100% payout, and I don't do volume (1mil/month) but c'mon. Does no one out there pay more than .01/share anymore?
Other than credit cards, can anyone suggest a source of funds (5k) in the nyc area? I have a good track record but recently blew up the account.
I can easily ask my prop firm to back me but I'm leaving that as a last resort as I don't want to give up a good portion of my future income with...
Let's say that your an experienced trader but you've gone through a rough patch. You work out an arrangement with your prop firm where you are essentially trading their capital for a split.
You turn a corner and start consistently making money again, but are you now completely beholden to...
Thanks all for your suggestions. I asked my gf who has a little more experience in database management and she essentially told me the same thing, either excel or access can do the job.
To me it seems like although it might be overkill at first, access will ultimately be the more user...
If you want to compile some simple statistics on your trades in which you can cross-reference performance via categories such as setup, time of day, avg gain/loss per trade etc, is excel the only way to go? This is very simple stuff I want to do I'm assuming, but have virtually no experience...
