Ya I guess absolute dollars is the the only way to go! Thanks again

wayne, Thanks For your reply. How would do it if you only had historical data and your data was limited to gross PNL, total intraday shares, total commission, and net PnL for lets say 1 trading month. Would this be possible without share price of each stock traded on each day you are...

Hey guys Anyone know the most efficient way to calculate the following for Proprietary trading of equities in a intraday basis. Mostly scalping and flat at the end of the day? Yearly Returns, corresponding Sharpe ratios, (max drawdown if possible), volatility and standard deviation...

most likely they are pocketing those ticket charges (the 6k). I wouldnt pay them sh*t especially if the fees werent listed on you reports or they werent providing you with one. Its a shady business and theres no way they will persue legal action because it will do more harm to them and expose...

Temperpedic seat cushion from footsmart or wherever you can find it. Around 60 bucks. Works like a charm for back pain. I have the dormia matress s well which is comparable to temperpedic for half the price...big help for back pain!!!!

Tape reading is different for most markets but the basic concept is the same. Just looking at the tape alone is a tough way to make a living. If you accompany it with a simple chart such as a 1 or 5 minute timem frame it works a lot better. If you are trading NYSE for example and you just...

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator-Although old, still one of the best for tape reading techniques.......

Definitely seems to be a major topic now in the news. In addition to the cramer investigation I Saw this coalition listed on another thread on ET Seems with reg SHO coming into play it wouldnt be that much of an issue since traders will be able to short many stocks "naked" (in addition to the...

Its a great way to get leverage. Customer accounts (no license) typically only get 4:1 leverage and require 25k down. With your series 7 you can get a significant amount of leverage allowing you to risk less of your own capital..Most prop firms will still require a small capital contribution...

You wont see this as much because institutions are not stupid. That style for daytraders has been done for years. When you play poker do you show the person sitting next to you your cards? When you do show someone your cards it usually means the hand is over! Word of advice.....look for a...

if you are doing it to circumvent the the uptick rule than the answer is no its is not legal. i have heard some traders talking about firms out there using other accounts in order to achieve exactly what you are talking about. They use one account to get long and than flip the long still...

Toonces-Not sure to be honest since problem ive had with clarity was bad speakers. I mean sometimes there are stories that dont move the market, but that comes with the business. You cant really tell until you pull up the stock and evaluate price action. Some times news which seams meaningless...

Toonces you seem like a nice guy, but you must have stepped away from your computer a little after 10:30 yesterday when the ASH earnings was announced. ECN's crossed way up and stock ripped more than 4 points. Rippley maybe you were too busy on elite trader adding to yoyur 800 posts. Whatever...

That doesnt happen, so now I know you definitely never used the service!!! You may be thinking of another service. You should get your facts correct before you go bad mouthing this product. The only audio that comes from the service is news.

Thats impossible bc they always have indications, and economic numbers in the morning and through out the day. Also why would you want to hear stories that have no relevence and dont move the market, unless you just like churning.

Of coarse Hold Brothers will start charging for the service in the future. I will tell you now that there are no glitches in the sevice because its been working for four years and its just getting better. I used NTKN and theres no comparison. Not to bad mouth them bc they are a nice group of...

Ive been using news strike at hold since it came out. No one gets news sooner. I am not acting as an advocate either, I am a full time trader. The news is way faster than any other service. We are in trades sometimes even too early before the news kicks into the market. Our news reader...

Does anyone have any info on reg sho test pilot? It is supposed to cease april 1st 2006 I believe. At this time it is my understanding that all stocks will go sho (no uptick rule) or everything will return back to how stocks were before.
