Jack, Your profile says you are the San Diego office manager for Bright? Are you looking to leave Bright? That is pretty big news considering your managerial position with them. Julie

How long do I have to keep my eyes closed and visualize to make him disappear? :D :D :D

Maybe if I "dress-down" enough I can charge you all a monthly fee to watch me trade? :D I guess that's one way to supplement my trading income until this market gets better :)

:) I hope you are offended by this, I was just curious to know about what I had heard. You sounded upset by the questions, but answered them and that is that. As for me, I have accounts with many firms, I am not here to advertise for anyone so I will just inform everyone to what you...

By the way, I take full advantage of trading from home. If this is a black tie affair, I am probably the most underdressed person in the room. :D If I had a webcam, I don't think you would get much trading done :D :D

I have seen much discussion about things that are way more in depth than this before, he is an avid poster and I am not asking for his social security number or anything. If he does not want to answer, he does not have to. But if you were considering trading there, wouldn't you like to know...

Don, Please do not take this as a combatative question, just wanted to know if you could clarify something. I was talking to someone who trades at Bright that told me that you are not a Class A member of Bright trading, that it is your brother Bob's firm. They said the main source of your...

Aly, You have some very nice things to say about Bright, but I notice you say that you do not trade there anymore. Could you enlighten us as to where it is that you trade, and why you left Bright? Thanks, Julie

Don, Does Bright still withhold 25% of all traders' profits? Last I heard, this still has not changed. Thanks, Julie

m_c_a98, I just started trading with Echotrade very recently, I was displeased with the other professional firm I was trading with before. I do not get any compensation from Echo for this, and I don't feel I am posting "advertisements" for them. I have merely mentioned the only alternative...

I just said this also in another thread, there has been a lot of discussion about alternatives in other threads and it all comes down to: If you want to keep trading you need to be with a professional firm. I have looked into most of them and still the only one that is set up to handle...

Yoda and Bronx, In case you guys are new and haven't seen the previous discussions about what to do, if you go professional and trade at Echotrade (www.echotradeonline.com) you can get 10-to-1 leverage, and they accept accounts as low as $10,000. The professional firms are not affected by...

Hi all, I was reading another thread and happened upon a mini-discussion about QQQ cancel charges. There are many firms that charge traders a FEE if they send an order for QQQ and cancel the order. As any of us who trade it know, it is very easy to have to cancel a lot of orders if you...

goodtrader, I have followed these boards for a long time and never seen anyone so pumped on Bright before. And on your first post ever, anyone else find this interesting??? I traded at Bright and have never been unhappier. I traded in a few of your offices, and was charged an arm and a leg...

Thanks Jim, but he's not my type :-) I know this about them, apparently they were fined $1.5 Mil for a long list of things, a fine that big against a firm doesn't come along very often. Here's the link, http://www.nyse.com/pdfs/99-158-161.pdf That scares me a little. Julie

I just wanted to add that if you want to be able to sell downticks all day, make sure your firm supports bullets and conversions. I use those extensively and highly recommend you all check into them. Julie

Forgot about one, I have never seen InstaQuote but they are supposed to have good options chains too. http://www.instaquote.net/screens.shtml Click on the "View Detailed Screen Explanation", then Options -Jim

Anyone know why IB won't publish their ECN algorithym? It seems like then you could make the best choice of how to route if you knew exactly what they would do with the order. Julie
