750000-2.5m. shares a day.

I have a vivid image of you punching in the orders with your hands and the big toes at the same time. :confused:

0.05c is correct.

Yes, I have dual keyboards. One on my desk and one under my feet.
 
mind you, i only get a small part of that.

I don't know what the amount of shares traded has anything to do with it..

Would it be worthy to you?

If you only get a small part of that, why don't you go trade for a firm like Echo or Bright that pays you 100% of your profits. In my opinion, trading that much volume, you should be earning at least $100,000 a day, not a $1000.
 
i am amazed by what you are saying.....how did you work up to that level of volume? how long have you been trading? do you ever try to teach others how to trade? what order entry platform do you use?
 
I personally dont see what is impressive about churning through
100 of K's of volume and only making 500-1000$...

Correct me if I am wrong but isnt trading about quality rather
than quantity - although sometimes the two may go together
hand in hand to a certain extent ?

Splat,
On the contrary my friend I thought trading was all about the Benjamins' . That is; I thought the whole point was to make money. In my humble opinion there are many ways to make $ in the market, some make it by hitting singles some doubles, some homers. If you are 'singles hitter' (such as I am ), it follows logically that in order to increase profits you must trade greater volumes. While I agree that trading high volumes ( 100's of K's per day) holds no specific 'status' when identifying good or great traders for that matter, if you are operating with the right business model high volume trading is a legit and potentially very profitable method of trading.
Anyways, the market needs traders of all types scalpers, swing, long term investors etc. with different methods to provide liquidity to the markets at different times and ultimately make this whole thing work. Personally, I don't ignore the home runs when they come my way, but I feel I have a better opportunity to hit homers if I am constantly at the plate.

I agree with youtotally. Trading is about making money. I was
referring entirely to the case of earning 500-1000$ thro
churning thro 100's of K volume. I personally dont think
its worthwile - but you are correct - the market needs liquidity
through all kinds of traders. If that type of trading suits
some people then the BEST of luck to them :-)

Regards.
