    a question about Swifttrade

    That's great in theory, but the questions is, how good are the coaches and trainers? - If they can't "cut it" as a trainer, then what is the likelihood that their students will cut it? In fairness, I paid $99 for my prep course. Not bad at all, compared to what other people will charge you...

    average Swift-trader make?

    I disagree somewhat, as management tends to be autocratic. Trading is one of the few arenas in which a person can be truly creative - and when it comes to making money in the markets you need to be. So, as a beginner at Swift, it is difficult to try some of your theories out. You may even know...

    Candlesticks discussion

    That's what I'm saying... if there were plenty of signals in the candles, then maybe I should re-visit them and learn more about them in detail.

    Candlesticks discussion

    On my charts, I use EMA 3 and EMA 15 for cross-overs, and also keep a SAR (standard 0.02, 0.2). On the bottom, I keep a MACD (3,15,1) and only use it for crossing of the 0 line; and, a Momentum (15) also for crossing of the 0 line. If all or most of my indicators are in agreement, then I go in...

    Candlesticks discussion

    Did you see any signs that Support would be broken around 11:15 ? I noticed this is a 5 min chart and that EUR/USD was in consolidation between approx 7:40 and 11:15 (between about 1.2265 and 1.2280). I have trouble with consolidation all the time... notably that my indicators (trending...

    Swift...interview in June.

    Are you too proud to get yourself a part-time job during evenings while you trade for nothing during the day? Or, now that you have your degree are you too good for that? - If you really want to trade - and have nothing but a shoestring to do it on - then you will have to do something else on...

    average Swift-trader make?

    How can you compare Swift's ProsperPro (er, sorry, ProsperNot), with LightSpeed? - LS is great, whether you trade for rebates or trade positions. It's completely customizeable and has so many features. What is more important is that it is a thousand times more stable than PP.

    average Swift-trader make?

    Average Swiftrader? That depends on how you define average. It can be said that the "average Swiftrader" doesn't make it at all, since most new recruits - or "student traders" - don't end up becoming "hired-on traders" and end up either leaving of their own accord or get thrown out the door a...

    info about SwiftTrade?

    How can you expect any unbiased opinion? - Those who have worked there, or who are currently working there, either think the outift is a joke or are satisfied. Plenty of opinions have been posted here on Elite. Just do a thorough search and you will get all kinds of information, from quick...

    Question on cyber trading university

    I used to trade with them retail with my own account (i.e.: not prop). The platform - at least on the retail end - is Global Trader. It's unknown and obscure. It's alright, but nothing great. Didn't have too many problems with execution. Put it this way: it is adequate, but it is no E*Trade...

    eSignal 7.8 & 7.9

    Hi, Can anybody who is using E-Signal for Forex data tell me around what time data starts trickling in on the charts on Sundays? I trade through Oanda, but use IQ Feed on Quotetracker for Forex data. I can see Oanda's charts start to show trades around 3pm, EST. However, the IQ Feed...

    Ego and the ET Poster

    The point is, who cares. Are these posts going to help your trading? Should you deviate from your own trading plan because of them? In the end, does it really matter whether they were right or wrong? How will that affect your bottom line? - It doesn't even matter if you are right or wrong in...

    Funniest thing ever seen at a prop firm

    I was at Swift Trade last summer, trading at the "Elite" franchise's "headquarters" in Mississauga. There was one guy there who was generally a quiet guy - except when a trade went against him. One day, he was long PFE when the markets turned. He kept averaging down thousands of shares at...
