I couldn't resist this one... I just love these Bright Trading threads. Bright was on my very short list of firms to check out when I finally...
I'm pretty sure you'd better check again :) They do still use a version of Watcher, but it's completely re-written and completely windows...
you should try heartland. probably the best software out there for scalping and very competitive rates; if you trade in the NYC area with that...
LOL. That was a great story DATT. I come from a long video game background myself and I think that helped me get into my current firm. One of...
There are still people screaming out things like that. At least in my firm. And, it's not merely "kids." We have lots of aged 30+ traders here...

I guess this was really the main purpose of my starting this thread... From most of the responses, it seems that most of you do high volume...
to limitdown: The software I use, as DATTrader pointed out, is indeed based upon the original Watcher software. The entire platform is designed...
Oops. My bad. I'm off by a conversion of a tenth there. We actually go by ticket averages ($/1000 shares) vs per share average. (Same basic...
The firm I work for has no relevance in this discussion and I don't feel comfortable disclosing that information here. Assuming you're...
I assume you're talking about net averages. At my firm (which is none of those firms you listed), the successful traders generally average about...
I've been lurking on this board for a while and have read with interest all the posts about trading here... But, for all the talk of trading on...
