Two, ten year reformed day traders, seek other disgruntled companions for semi-intelligent coffee chats. Seriously though... Myself and another trader in Park City are looking to talk to other traders about past stories, current techniques, etc. The two of us have actively traded equities...

A group of us all trade remotely on different platforms. We'd like to all be able to see each others screens in real time (partial view works too). Short of setting up webcams is there anything out there that does this? Thanks.

You cannot trade there. It's just for operational stuff.

Has anyone else noticed that the data on the $OSX $HGX and other PHLX stuff is delayed apparently 5 minutes now? This seems to have started on May 1st and has continued since then. Prior to that it seems the index was updated every 5 seconds. Any info would be appreciated Edit: You...

How can you find out which firms sell your orders? And when a firm does sell your order, what exactly does that do to you the trader? Thanks for the help. Oh, and is there a list of firms that sell your order or a previous post on this topic? I tried searching archives to no avail...

I like this P/L forum walk the walk thing so I'm going to post mine for the day. Yesterday I lost $600 but today is better since there was some news to trade. I think my net is around $2k in this picture but it was in the middle of the day and i'm not up much more atm... missed a huge move

I tried searching for a topic on commissions within the last 3 months but something like 125 topics popped up. Is there 1 main topic to look at to compare other shops/retail commissions? Reason I'm asking is I'm looking to change places. Currently I trade only NYSE stocks and do around...
