qdz -looks like you've found your niche - the whiner. I guess when you eventually begin trading you'll be able to write a book on "101 reasons why I lost money and it wasn't my fault." Try approaching some insurance companies yourself - I'm sure they can't wait to get hold of those big...

Comments please - pros/cons. Cheers

got to agree with buzzy.. its a girls car... give it to your missus

haha - this is a funny thread. looks like your biggest concern should be whether your software and broker will be around next week..... patsystems just released their 1/4ly results - they have a massive ....wait for it....29 billable clients ...up from 26 last year! and they lost 2.7m...

this seems silly if you are trading futures there is not going to be any differecnce between Trading Technologies, Patsystems, GL and IB. They are all connected directly to the exchange In fact even if you have a Globex terminal its not going to make a tad bit of difference to your trading...

No one in there right mind would invest with someone that said this: ?? but that does include a number of option positions that are now out of the money, that I show open losses on and have confidence in, and most importantly that includes about a 50k open loss that I show on 2 very small cap...

Not sure if this gives you any idea, but the last months copy of Institutional Investor ranks the top 100 firms buy consolidated capital and also gives figures for equity capital (nb equity capital = consolidated capital - l-t debt) Number 100 is CE Unterberg, Towbin - I have no idea who they...

Darkhorse "you can find at least three distressed or mistreated muslim women for every one who is comfortable and satisfied. " Where did you pull that one out from? The biggest muslim country in the world is Indonesia with approx 100m muslim women. They are no more "mistreated" than the...

all technical indicators work.....SOME of the time......you just have to find the ones that work at the time you want to use them :) ...... now that the VIX and TRIN etc have become widely mentioned in the media it means that their useful ness is over.....for the time being ..but don't forget...

Most brokers offer Globex and CBOT quotes for free if you trade. Why not just check out the websites....if you don't know them then going to the Brokers section and look them up. But warning is most futures brokers are very cloak and dagger and don't like telling people their rates. IB...

There is a TA book where the authors study a bunch of indicators and run computerised tests on each one to determine its reliabaility and probability. I read it a while ago and never bothered to buy it I think it was this one: Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns (Wiley Trading Advantage) by...

i guess the attitude hear shows why payment for order flow prevails in the US stock and options markets. People want to squeeze their commissions so low..that firms have to look for other sources of income. take $4 side which seems to be avg---exchange fees take a chunk and then take costs...

jgan. when are you going to come clean? I fgot suspicious when you revived a dead elocal thread with a fact that everyone new...so I did a search on your user name ...and...your posts...and gee look at this.....what BS. <http://www.elitetrader.com/i/s.gif> Displaying Topics 1 to 10 of 10...

I also believe that margin will be 5:1 and just read the mail below..IB are offering $1 comms. That certainly lays down the gauntlet.

Aranha. There'll be 3 maybe 4 exchanges listing stock futures: One Chicago which is a venture between all the Chicago exchanges Nasdaq-Liffe - a joint venture Island - will also list stock futures. I also believe that the new BOX exchange will do it but that may be a year away. Whether...

sorry DAT if it wasn't clear. For the third indicator I meant relative strength, i.e. a plot of stockA/StockB. I find that this helps zero in on the stronger stocks/sectors which may not be clear from just eyeballing the two separate price charts (unless your using log charts...but thats a...

NiteRider..it seems the overlying trend here is that everyone started trying various TA indicators and then went back to price and volume. This is because you should remember that most TA indicators are a derivative of price - and thus, they do not really tell you anything that the price chart...

Wow Don, I know you like to push prop trading but that statement inferes that a person is better off trading at a prop firm than GS.... Have to agree with arb...that is total crap, and I think its also completely out of order to say it. I would hate to think that someone who had an offer...

Aranha, Its not likely to force the Nasdaq to change any rules... remember that the Nasdaq will have its own stock futures via the nasdaq-liffe exchange As for arb opportunites...how many do you see now between the cash and options? Exactly none...the electronic arb boys - Hull, Timberhill...

metsoxx, I beg to differ..from what i've seen only a very small percentage of pit traders are actually successful when they move upstairs...most find it extremely difficult to adapt to the new environment and to change the way they have been doing things for years...I'd say the majoriity bite...
