It has been years since I posted, I came back on the site to see how the day trading world is like today. I worked at Swift Trade from 2004-2007. I was doing OK during that period. Eventually, with NYSE changing their rules, I was struggling in 2007 as I was slow to adjust. I was...

Amen to that. Good luck and continue the good work in trading.

Being grateful brings happiness... =)

I agree that the time and sales is useful after the fact. The thing that matter is the level 2.

I suggest you get a BMX from your parents. BMW and Mercedez are for "real" traders.

Best wishes searching for the next thing for you. It is sad to note you worked for 5 years and cannot continue. I hope you can do something you like with your trading experiences.

It would be cool... 2 extra hours of making $$$. I like the idea of a break in between like what they have in the asian markets. It would create two extra periods ie) 5 minutes before/after break of fun actions.

I believe no one from this forum is immature or offensive. We don't care whether you are a blode chick or whatever, all we care about is good trading analysis. Most of us are professional traders in elite traders and I personally am a day trader. You can tell most of the replys whether...

wow... my buddy at my office long the shares right before it get delisted from NYSE. Later, he got out at the over-counter market for a nice 50% return. Now he is seeing a even better return. Bankrupt stock rocks =)

It is clear that the stock is in a downtrend. Unless you know some mysterious reasons why this stock would rebound in the future, stocks tends to move in trends. Stocks are just like physics F = ma, once it has an inertia to go, it goes. I hope you did not go in big on that.

I observed some awesome traders with high school dipolmas as their highest education. Ironically, there were people with MBA, masters degree, CFA II, etc who tried and never make the cut. Scarfy is right about the %, I revised it to 2,3 out of 10. Willingness to learn is great. To "learn" in...

The Hamiton guys are making that amount. I don't work in that office but I know. However, the turnover rate at Swift Trade is high and the Hamiton results are abnormal. There are plenty of losers at Swift Trade who don't make the cut and whines like a baby wah wah.... I would give it a...

coolweb: You seem to know everything from swingtrade/position trader to daytraders. I agree with day traders you need minimum 4 months of learning.

GS is :cool:

Good story. When lots of traders and investors realized this, it would be fun playing with Fannie.

I agree with the guy above that traders are creating good influences in the society. We make $$ and pour it back into our economy to help pay for conventional people who gets a salary. Some of the crazy traders I know pay more in taxes/year than what an average people will earn in their life...

Traded 1.5 year from Markham...

I get emotional and pissed off throughout the trading day. Whether it is a big loss or getting out too early, I curse and swear a lot. I decided it is time for a change because my emotions from trading gets carried to my everyday life. I use disciplinary actions everytime I swear. I won't...

This site is call "Elite Trader" and a ~60% success rate so far is reasonable. I believe people do not lie in here. What's the point of lying here anyways? Based on the replies so far, it is easy to see trading is a difficult business. There are approximately 100 replies who say yes out of...

Good months 90% profitable days Average months 75% profitable days Bad months 60% profitable days Consistency is key to success.
