It wasn't the owner of the firm that did it, but the story goes that the owner of the firm encouraged everyone to trade larger and take more risk....
Chalk up one more vote for Linksys. Runs like a champ, very fast and stable. -Jim
I highly recommend ECHOtrade (http://www.echotradeonline.com) for trailing stops. They let you do it both ways, stops that are visible on the...
Hitman, I used to use Blue Cross/Blue Shield and was very happy with it. It is a good plan for self-employed traders. Now I trade with Echo...
Baron, I am absolutely amazed at how much better your site is than any other message board. I don't bother even reading other message boards...
Fohat, Just for the record, I have never traded with IB but from what I know, I am very impressed that they can offer all they do at the rates...
Just wanted to disagree with Fohat on a few points: IB undoubtedly has great rates, very comparable to pro firms. As for any other EDAT firm,...
Leland, I have mainly used ECHOtrader for trading, and First Alert for quotes. In the last few weeks I started playing with First Alert for...
Gene, I just called Echotrade and confirmed, their QQQ orders go to the Amex (they also let you preference ISLD or NYSE if you want), and they...

Basically I would say, if you have made enough money to back yourself and keep 100%, do that. Otherwise, keep trading there until you do. It is...
I'll place a guess at where you are: You are at Anthony P's operation at the merc.??? (won't say firm name)
I found a picture of Stephen Schonfeld if you guys want to see it. Go here: http://samanthastable.com/eligible.htm He's listed on some kind...
Babak, All of these prop and pro firms also make money on their commissions as well as any cut they take of profits. In Echo's case, they make...
Ouch! I vote "reemed." In essence you pay 2-cents for a lot of your orders, AND you have to give up 30% of your profits. That is not the...
No, ECHO and Bright do not take an extra cut of your profits. This is a margin rate amount that only applies if you take positions home...
That will work fine unless you have a really old computer. (I'd say 4 years old or more). You can mix and match sizes, but make sure you are...
