Scalper21, I guess tape reading is tape reading is tape reading... duh. In your last example about bids stepping in behind trades that take out offers or prints that happen when large(r) bids step in (and in reverse) is exactly what I trade off of on the NYSE issues. And, as you do I make...

The latest on this topic is that SEC is getting rid of the uptick rule for the 1000 top high volume stocks altogether by end of January. If that's true then that'll be great, though it kind of contradicts SEC's reason for getting rid of bullets usage - stop bear raids. Strange reasoning.

That is the trader's unsung motto? So now that bullets are gone it'll create a new wrinkle and a new opportunity somewhere else. The question is where? And how do we exploit it. Any ideas? I suppose ETF's might get more of a play as well naz. Who knows. Yeah, market short is not the only...

Traveller, I'm assuming that you're specifically looking at daytrading stocks or there abouts. With your skills as someone who consistenly exploit the edge with discipline, perhaps you might want to look into options trading? I don't mean trading by buying premium but doing spreads of various...

I don't speak or read Czech. I clicked your URL and I need to register to get anywhere!! Care to post few of your daytrades? I'm thinking about ETF's as well as the emini's. I'm still contemplating which direction I should head.

Mr Subliminal... Wow, that is scary indeed. And only on 2 lots keeping relatively tight stops... yikes. But did you manage to come back on the day?

99, Nice. It's always great to hear that someone has found that threshold and crossed it. I guess it's what we hear all the time in trading circles... "it'll click," "it'll gel..." etc. In the end, you were able to find your biggest weakness, identify it correctly and then find a solution...

trader99, I thought futures is a "harder" market to trade. Well, by the various replies and the basketball sex change analogy it seems to be. So why is it that a guy who struggled trading stocks strikes it rich in the futrues markets? Is it only because your personality and trading style...

Ok, here's the question. How easy is it to lose $1000/day trading the mini's? And for those of you who are now at least making $1000/day, how long did it take and how much did you lose before you got there? Thirdly, for those that are successful, what would you consider to be your greatest...

How does one get long and short at the same time? Do they have 2 seperate accounts?

Why Huskey02, didn't you know? This is the circus! Hey, how much do they pay anyway? Just kidding...:D You couldn't pull me away from those glittering lights for all the tea in China. I don't mean the circus I mean my quote board and PC.

I've been at this for nearly 10 months (prop trade) I am just getting profitable. But that's only because we had a great July. Anyone can tell you that July was an easy month to trade. Read all the experiences of all the traders on this board. If you even have the slightest hesitation about...

Wow, pretty intelligent bunch of dudes you are. And here I thought you're all a bunch of washed up daytraders... But then who said brains and daytrading are mutually exclusive properties. Eh? Now I'm really confused... :confused:

You mean "Maria" at the big board isn't enough for ya?:D

"90% of our traders a net profitable..." :confused: :D

I sit there and I watch guys come in to be interviewed at my shop and you can always tell a "newbie" from a seasoned trader. newbie always wear the nicest suits. Sharp! That's not to say you should dress one way or the other but I'd go with the sharp. Why not? It makes you look like you mean...

Thanks for all the various insights guys. Appreciate it!!

Not the answer I was looking for but if you enter "Hold Bros" in the search box you'll find threads regarding them.

Does anyone know anything about this firm as far as becoming a prop trader? Also, which firms actually have salaries. Is Hold Bros. the only one?
