Ugly f'king cover. Looks like one of those 80's high school photo backdrops.
So any reason why you trade intraday only? If you don't have time to focus on the very short-term, why not choose a time-frame where not looking...
Neke, how much time during the day do you actually spend in front of your screen focusing on the quotes? Don't you also have a day job? TD...
I know some of you guys write articles for SA. No offense, but how does this stuff make it onto Yahoo Finance headlines? What are the...
In this example, the actual spread will be more like 1 x 6; once the program senses someone wants to get filled say 1k at 4, the market instantly...
Neke's been doing the same trades for quite some time now. Somehow every once and a while, you'll see him adding to losers continuously until an...
What does it matter if the retail losses were incurred in the same year? You would have needed to elect MTM before April of that year to convert...
Leverage can provide fast scaling if you know what you're doing. I'm sure the better traders in the firm could start with 5k and end up 500k+...

I have to agree with your view on where the industry is headed. Cutting rates to the bone but taking a chunk of a trader's p/l, that's probably...
It wasn't that long a thread :). I never said you were giving bad info. I just questioned the idea of a "perfect prop" from a trader's...
Dude, i asked a couple serious questions about how the prop model stays in business in this kind of market, and I get told I don't know what kind...
Mav, weren't you the one who started a thread about how 99:1 payouts were finished? And you've always had a number of good discussions with dear...
Your thread asked a bunch of anonymous individual traders in a public forum what their "idea of a perfect prop firm" was. I get the feeling you...
Maybe it's me, and I just don't understand the point of "prop for hire" in the first place. If you know how to trade, why do you need to get...
I trade at a deposit/full payout (almost) firm. The guys are honest first and foremost, they'll give you leverage if they think you know how to...
