    Prop trading/ no experience

    I'd say your lack of experience trading will quite likely be an asset and not a hindrance. To put it simply, you're starting with a clean slate. As long as you're an intelligent guy and have a personality suitable to trading, you should have nothing to worry about. Just take good notes on how...

    DSL or Cable for fast Trading?

    I have had 3Mb DSL as a back-up for my RoadRunner (5Mb) for the past few years. Obviously, the cable was faster (5Mb vs 3Mb), but I just upgraded my DSL service to 6Mb for $28/month from AT&T one week ago. My router (Xincom XC-DPG502 Twin WAN Router) normally does load balancing between...

    IQ and trading

    when you think you should be clicking while you're watching the film, just wait and click in that spot when the film is done. i found everything within a couple of minutes and spent more time than i'd care to admit trying to figure out what the film was for.

    Do you tell people you're a trader?

    In the past, I generally did tell people I was a trader. I do not volunteer it any longer, mostly because I got tired of explaining it to people who either had no clue, or thought they did but didn't. The most "interesting" response I ever got was from my mother-in-law the first time my wife...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    You should know that you can't go by insider selling. People sell for all kinds of reasons. Their stock was supressed for several years. I'm sure there were lots of employees with options that had been worthless for a while (option strike price higher than the current price) and just figured...

    Aeron chair

    i have an aeron that i got back in '99 and used daily until last year, when i purchased a Lifeform Ultimate High Back Executive Chair. the aeron has since been relegated to being used as a guest chair. the aeron is good, but when trading, i rarely leave my chair once the market opens until it...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    you're comparing a $250+ iRiver to the Shuffle? :confused: ...and using that comparison as a basis to say that nobody will buy the shuffle? hate to break it to you, but somewhere in the neighborhood of a million shuffles have already been sold and they haven't even been out for a month.

    Simple System for Beginners

    I can't tell you what will work for you. What works for me is using a real-time screener to alert me to stocks that are moving right now and not stocks that were moving yesterday or last month. If you choose to try this route, learn some charting basics so you can spot patterns...

    Simple System for Beginners

    True story. I just came to this realization about my own trading last Friday after analyzing my PnL statement for every stock I traded last month to determine where I went wrong. Turns out if I had been disciplined enough to stick strictly to my real-time screening for trades, I would have...

    Anyone have positive results using Trade Ideas streaming alerts?

    Never mind. Somehow I had an old version even though I just installed it on this machine a week ago. I have the new version and found the integrated charts.

    Anyone have positive results using Trade Ideas streaming alerts?

    alright, you won me over. so you could glance at the intraday (preferably user-selectable time frame, as a full day chart wouldn't show enough detail in the height of an IT alert row to show what action was taking place right now that triggered the alert for shorter-term alerts. then, based...

    Anyone have positive results using Trade Ideas streaming alerts?

    You can link from Trade-Ideas to most external applications (other charting programs). I was just using QT as an example since that's what I use. When I double-click on an alert in Trade-Ideas, it sends that ticker to a 10 min chart, a 1 day chart, a 10 day chart and a 3 month chart as well...

    Anyone have positive results using Trade Ideas streaming alerts?

    i don't really see a need for an intraday chart. i like the daily and weekly chart, so i can see if the alert is for a stock that has been trending up for a while or if it is a possible reversal, etc. i use QuoteTracker ($7/month) in conjunction with Trade-Ideas, so I use the linking tool in...
