  4. how many of you posters are trading retail way ?
    with only 4 X 1 BP

    how many of you are trading prop way ?
    with 10 X 1 or more BP ?

    what is more important to me is

    if you are trading prop or retail in a room with other traders ... how your group is doing
    how the turnover is ... ( % of traders still there
    after a yr or two )

    :)

    Easy now, this could be a new profit opportunity.

    Hire a couple of dumb pilots - send them into the no-fly zone, short the farm, cover/reverse once the feds finishes its interrogation, and then let the money roll in.

  6. not true. it depends on your style. do you think swing traders need to trade 50k a day?

  7. Are you guys here who trade 100K+ volume daily mostly automated? Any discretionary traders here who only trade a handful of stocks trading that kind of volume?

  8. Personally I think the way I trade is more tiptronic. A lot of automation for spotting opportunities combined with manual entries.

  9. My opens are a combination of automated and manual order entry, then, later in the day I trade a "grey" box program that gets me in, and I manage the exits if I can react fast enough.

    I typically do 60 to 150k on the open alone.

    Good trading to you, GURU!

  10. Are you saying that Trade Ideas' alerts integrated into your trading plan in effect give you the automation you need?
    Or, do they facilitate your automated program as a major component within a gray/black box system?
