Dont trade with RBC. I have been trading there for 6 years. Carlin merged with RBC a few years ago. Management have changed alot. They promised you one thing and mean another. I know the owner of carlin, Ron, really well. By aware of David Abramson. He is a con artist. He tells you...

It is certainly harder to make money nowadays. You have to be very patience and selective to be profitable in this market. I've been trading for a long time and I know that if you don't adapt to this market, you will not succeed for long. I've learned to adapt to this market fairly well...

Hello, I need some help with my backup computer. While I was cleaning out old files from my backup computer, I happen to delete the ethernet drivers in the Network and Dialup Connections menu. The backup computer has a wireless linksys card, which is connected. I reinstalled the...

Hi, I have a backup computer that I cannot configure correctly to access the internet. It has a Linksys wireless card the I installed long time ago. I was able to access the internet before. While I was cleaning out some of the junk files, I deleted the ethernet controller from the...

Well said tradertony76. This is what I've been saying all alone. You have to put all your time and effort into trading inorder to succeed. If you think you have a backup plan, which you should, you will not succeed in trading. Trust me. Been there and done that.

I don't normally post many replies on ET because I disagree with many comments from ET traders. Many ET members are either new or not making decent money. When I say decent, I meant traders who are making over $100K a year. My advice to you is to follow your dream. But first of all, you...

Trading is hard. For those who wanted to quit their full time job to day trade, I would recommend that you swing trade first. Learn the mechanics of trading and save up some money before you even think about quitting your job. I think it would be tougher for those people with family...

To those retail traders on ET. You guys are claiming that you are making money. How much money are you talking here? Since retail traders don't have the Buying Power (BP) like some pro traders, I would guess not much. And if you are making less than $100K, that is nothing. You have not...

Do you know what your problem is? You are fighting the trend. When the market is strong, big offers will be taken out and vice versa. I would suggest that you think about your strategy again. Don't find the trend. Just go with the flow. If your mindset is always short, you will not make...

How can you guys be doing so bad? The market has been tanking the past few days. Are you guys looking on the buy side only? I find that this market is very good if you are short. If you want to make good money, you have to play both the long and short side. Shorting has been very good...

Overnighting oils was great today. I had 25k overnight and made so much money. Too bad I only have 1k each for KMG and WGR. Normally, I have more than 1k each on KMG and WGR, but the way oils was trading yesterday, it was hard to be aggressive on the overnights. It made my day though.

Most members of Elite trader don't make money in this market. Or they make very little money, which is why you see alot of negative responses. As for me, I will make over 200% percent if i put $100k into a pro firm. As a matter of fact, I am up 3.5 times more than your initial $100k...

For all of you who don't know about Generic, they are a great company. Generic is the subsidiary of Carlin and is a member of the Philly exchange. I have been trading with generic for 5 years now and they seem to be a solid and reputable firm. If you have problems then contact their...

Can anyone provide some help? I have two computers. One is use for trading and the other is just for backup, imaging, and etc. They both used Linksys wireless connections with a router. The problem I am having is that my backup computer is not on the network, eventhough I have access to the...

All the stories in this post are great. I am touched and moved by it since I was in similar situation as some of you guys. I was working in computers for several years and wanted to make a move to trading but was hesitant for a while. I am glad that I went into trading. Trading has...

risktaker, With all the computers and monitors, are you making decent money or just trying to look good?

I would say 7 out of 8 traders I taught were successful. The other guy didn't care too much about trading since he came from a rich family. I selected these traders because they were friendly and fun to work. I believe that these traders were successful because they work hard and follow...

If you were a good trader and your manager asks you to train newbies and get a percentage of their commissions, would you do it? For me personally, I would not. I've trained so many newbies few years ago and it didn't work out well. Most of these newbies became successful traders, but the...

NoiseTrader, you sounded like an economist. A good friend of mine who use to daytrade for a living thinks like yourself. He is very bright, but could not last daytrading. I was wondering if you make decent money for a living or just a commentator. For all I know, my economists are not...

I've seen trading firms charging $4k - $5k for someone who wanted to learn trading. How much would you pay a firm or a good trader to learn the styles and techniques of trading? Would you prefer training from a trading firm or sitting next to a good trader?
