@puretruth, the training is $2199, but you can pay in installments if you want.

OP, I contacted Rick Albert. Seems like a good guy and answered all my questions. I'm trying to find some testimonials from people also so would appreciate any info.

i trade US markets here at night at home in Tokyo. I did a bit of Japanese stocks using Matsui but am more in tuned to US stocks.

Good luck all. Just realized why I never post on EliteTrader. Morons like MILESCFA is the reason, and I'm just too busy to deal with trolls like him/her/it. I'm out of this thread, but hope you succeed with your swing trading. It'll be much more profitable in the LT.

of course i know what vega is. Don't hate--people like you will continue to stay in the poor house. you don't even know my trading style, so STFU. Was i asking for your advice? NO. Typical loser who can't stand other people making more than your minimum wage pathetic self. LOL.

i'm already in about 20K on apr calls. may buy more. could make or break me, but sentiment seems strong on GS popping.

quick message, basically i've been following battered financial stocks: GS, BAC, C, etc. I go with long calls mainly (sometimes straddles or spreads but not often) and hold for a few days. I find mean reversion almost always happening with GS for instance. I've held GS for up to 1 week in which...

seems you are more into daytrading rather than swing trading. I find for me, holding a few days gives a much higher return (although you have to factor in the stress dealing with seeing your P/L go into the red). With mean reversion for strong stocks and uptrending markets, I usually do better...

great, looking forward to your posts as i'm also an options swing trader. good luck.

Learner, not sure if you're still around but have been hearing that there are some prop firms in Tokyo. But many deal primarily in commodities. i heard Jane Street Cap is here also, but other than that, can't find too much info. Probably would be a good biz venture if someone were to set up...

hi first time poster on your trading log. Nice job. Also following GS and ready to make a move..buy today.

Thanks Learner as always. Matsui's charts are sufficient. I don't have an IB account but am thinking of opening one to also trade JP stocks. How is IB's Japan stocks platform? Also, do you know the difference in commissions between the two? Is there a significant difference?

Sorry, if I could ask another question.. Why do you use IB for JGB and Topix futures while using the Japanese plaftforms for Nikkei futures? Thanks.

Thanks Learner. Yeah, must be regulatory issue--looked all over for some prop firms but can't really find any. Kanji is ok for me, but would prefer English of course. Anyways, thanks for the info again.

Learner, Just curious..are there any prop firms here in Tokyo? I'm looking to find some to increase leverage, reduce commissions, etc.. Also, if there are any English language platforms you know of or can recommend for trading JP stocks/options/etc, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks so much.

Learner, yes, I meant trading platform. Thanks--i've got a Matsui account also but am still testing it and haven't gotten up and running yet. How's it going with trading stocks here? is it easy to short sell here? i'm still new to trading over here. Thanks again.

Learner, It seems you are in Japan. Same here. If you don't mind, could you let me know how/what trading system you are using to trade JP stocks/options, etc? Thanks so much in advance. -Phil
