If people would be interested in this, I could donate the hardware, the site and the software. nitro Chicago, IL
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? H
