I hate ambiguity. Thats why I'm happy to see a thread like this one during my quick weekly or so browsal to "Elite Trader" to check if I'm missing out on anything here. Thanks for giving me the certainty that I crave so much.

Uptick Rule is Great for most advanced discretionary traders, bad for most scalp monkeys. We know who you are.

What's the prize?

OK, you're the PR person in charge of handling naked shorts.

Hybrid market is the NYSE Market as it is today, with electronic trading playing a very large role while the specialist plays only a tiny role in the trading of stocks on the exchange. Before the change to hybrid all trades went through one single person, the specialist. Because all trading in...

You again? I thought you crawled back under your rock. I am net long the USA. You and your spastic-fingered buddy here contend that it's bankrupt? Uh Oh. That is starting to scare me since I hate to lose money. You must be short right? I mean, you would have to be a total moron to have...

We are indebted to you for pointing this out and showing us the follie of our thinking. On behalf of the country, I thank you. To think how arrogant we were! I feel more humble already. One can only imagine what pearls of wisdom you might attain on your next trip abroad!

The non-thinkers always love raising taxes on the rich. Just watch any Democratic focus group on Youtube. You can see them rubbing their palms together with a crooked grin whenever Obama or Clinton mentions it. They get one-thousand times more fired up about this than they ever would about...

I don't want you to begin anything, in fact I want you to end something. Stop the insanity! Maybe for your own sake though, you should begin by making excuses for your own defeatist attitude. Sure you're in good company with the likes of Harry Reid, Pelosi and many others lib pols who have...

You peace-nicks and code-pinkers cry and whine to bring the troops home for what? To save money? Of all govt spendings this is one of the few that is vital and makes good sense. Why do our troops need to be home sitting on bases in the US? They are immensely more productive in securing the...

I think the problem here is that TM is missing the point that in most cases all of the fees he is mentioning are passed through to the trader, so if the clearing rate charged by the firm to the trader is .0025, his all-in cost might be around .004 with all of the ecns, sec, dtc etc. Their...

Happened over to this site since I havn't checked it in a while, saw this thread right away so I sought to read it and see what the discussion of elite traders on the current market might look like. At least I know I don't miss much by not coming more often. I'd better go before the Black...

and an undercover vice. Merry Christmas!

That's very interesting, you just up and decided to move there from Chicago on your own? I'd like to hear about your social experiences there from your perspective (I assume you're a single American male).

This sounds about like what I had in mind. Renting large furnished apartments or houses would work well, and if someone wanted to trade privately he could do so in his bedroom instead of the living/trading room. Four-eight weeks weeks in a city sounds about right. I envision the shorter stays...

There is a lot of inspiration that can be taken from Jim Rogers, and his multiple world tours definitely speak to the spirit of this thread. I attended a presentation by Rogers that he gave not long after after completing that last journey. His eyes glistened while he told us a few stories about...

Life is Short, Just Do It. I wonder how many traders out there are like me and have always thought in the back of their minds to spend a year or even two traveling the globe. If you are a successful trader, you know that you have the means and the ability to do this without sacrificing your...

If anyone has first hand experience in Uruguay, which looks to me from the outside as being underrated/undiscovered as one of the prime choices for living (especially in this hemisphere), please enlighten.

After adding "happy & fulfilling" to it, this is a very good and provocative question, and one that everyone should ask themselves every day, or every week at least. Humorously, the first yardstick that popped into my mind when reading the question - if you are spending more than a few hours...
