    Good idea Northshore,

    It is interesting to hear from other at home traders, we hear so much about the firms yet I found at home trading to be preferable.

    Good Idea. One thread is better than 50 "Any traders from ..." threads.

    I've traded at both. In the office I will usually scalp much more,

    Con:
    I assume listening to the other cowboys.....the markets ripping....it's getting crushed...blah blah blah changes my psyche.

    Pro:
    The branch spends about $600 per month on software that I want
    Floor broker there to call on stuck orders, employees at my beckon call.

    Trading out of the house, I usually hold the positions a little longer, much lower commissions

    Pro
    Letting my wife buy all the DIS she wants (kidding)
    Much more calculated decisions

    Con: Letting the dog out!

    I guess I'll settle for the branch.

    Trading in the rain here in Vancouver, Canada.

    I would be interested in talking with other swing-traders here in person, or on the net...

    Does anyone know of an informal swingtrade oriented chatroom or forum?
