Who the hell put a rocket up your ass? I was thankful you said you can make a lot more in futures. I was kind of debating about trading futures and thought that was a helpful comment. If you jumpt to conclusions that quickly, then I'm amazed you're a good trader. Consider yourself lucky...

I did the interview in Quebec about 150 KM away from Montreal and they told me $300 for training. And, the payout for the first $25,000 is 40% then 50%. Costs were something like $175 per month for quotes and desk space. (BTW, I didn't get the job I think because the idea that I read some...

OMG, thanks for making that comment. I really needed to know that.

Well, like I said in another thread, I got interviewed twice from two different people at Title and didn't get in. And I believe it's because they have a false impression of what my intentions are and my potential. From what I was told, it's a 40 percent payout for the first $25,000 and 50%...

Well, from the interview process, they seemed to have a problem with the fact I had read on trading and already had experience. I think the idea of someone having ideas from books on longer term trading and fundamentals scares them. But, that's just my take from the way they were talking. I...

I wonder what some people look for. Because I just had 2 interviews with titletrading and I'm not sure I got the job. So, I may go with a remote prop firm. Anybody know if they're difficult to get into?

I didn't read the whole thread, just the first message. Look, I found the three market wizards by Jack Schwager is very good way to learn what mistakes traders make and what kind of solutions they use. There's a section on the psychology of trading at the end of each of those books. You can...

What about any other licenses? I thought only (exchange) member firms were required to have series 7-licensed traders.

I have an idea what you mean. Right now I'm reading the first 46 pages on getting ready for the exam. It's so boring I have a hard time concentrating. lol

Actually, I incorrectly edited my message. I wanted to say I bought the stock market wizards book for my family so they would understand what I want to do.

I had a pretty odd an peculiar experience after I decided to combine different trading ideas from different books. After reading Profit Strategies by David Stendahl, I figured I would try to trade as a discretionary trader but act like a systems trader. Problem is, when SPWR started tanking I...

It's D. Thanks for all the replies but I got confused thinking, is the vote from the person who has the 800 shares or for the person in the vacated seat. I'm not sure how to put it, it's just I'm confused who's who. Well, that's just a question in the beginning of the book anyway. I guess...

My parents thought I was going to become a gambler too. I have mixed results right now except for the fact that I now think I'm a lot more calm when I see the fluctuations and can look at situations from different points of view a lot more easily when under the pressure of a loss. In Market...

I have a weird question if anyone wants to answer. I'm reading "Series 7 Exam for Dummies" which has a question where they ask: A stockholder owns 800 shares of WHY common stock, WHY stockholders were given cummulative voting rights. If therer are three vacancies on the board of directors...

Hey, check this out. I was doing lots of downloading on eMule and found these books: Come Into My Trading Room, Alexander Elder Options: Essential Concepts and Trading Strategies, CBOE The Economics of Money, Banking, and The Financial Markets, Frederic S. Mishkin The Index Trading...

Guess it's weird curiosity. But, like, I was wondering lately on something unrelated and thinking what would happen if someone asked me for a basic book on the stock market. Well, several years ago I read "How to Buy Stocks" by Louis Engel and Brendan Boyd. But, I know that's kind of outdated...

There's a lot more to it than that? What kind of books can you read to find out how the industry is set up or whatever? What kind of books does a compliance officer use to determine what's going on?

I mean, let's say the exchange rule is you can buy a stock on a 50% margin, how is it possible for the leverage to be higher than that? I've read some messages here where people said 40:1 or whatever. What does that mean exactly? (I've read books on trading, I'm just not familiar with that.)

I'm not a prop firm owner but I can tell you this, I did an interview with someone and he told me he tried training people by starting out with a lot of information in 3 or 4 days and they quit. I mean I think he just overloaded them with info and they couldn't deal with it. Anyway, he told me...

I just saw a demo of Metastock and have to say it's amazing (at least to me). There's a system tester in that software that will allow you to test every technical indicator. And I think it would be worth it to try that so you can objectively see what kind of trading you would like to do...
