My guess for year end is the same as Q1.

With the new design of the site, this feature was removed along with the drop down menu. It is currently found at the bottom of the "Forums" page but... I would like to suggest that it is added to the "Unread Posts" page as well since it seems like another very logical spot. Thanks.

Maybe until market close on Friday? What he should have done (or do in the future)... Instead of having that front page popup to register/login, he should have (for a couple of days) a short description and link to this forum. Just a thought. Especially if he could make the popup a one time thing per user. ----edit/added below---- OR just use the top ad banner space for a few days. Either way, I would suggest a slight adjustment to the naming of the thread next time by starting with "CONTEST" For example... CONTEST: Guess the Market Close for Q1 2011 CONTEST: Guess the Market Close for End of Year 2011

Why not.... Q1 SPX 1050 INDU 10200 COMPX 2200

My point being...if you aren't willing to put yourself financially on the line, why should anyone else trust you with their money.

Let's keep this simple. If you really have a winning strategy and are that confident then just take it out on credit (e.g. Credit Card). It should be doable with the amount you say you "need". Then you get to keep everything but the interest and you don't have to deal with another individual.

Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell

Very good points Kiwi!! I am trading E/U through MBTrading at this very moment, and the spread has consistently been < 1 pip. They have no need to "play games" because they make their money through commission. Yes, there are bucket shops out there that play games through their quotes and software, but you aren't required to trade through them. As for trading news, one has to remember that we are dealing directly with currency so any scheduled news/figure announcement is going to have a much quicker reaction since the banks will reflect the change on a dime.

I thought I would quickly add my two cents since I started day trading in Forex... As far as needing to see depth, it all depends on ones strategy. Personally, my strategy has no need for depth and/or volume. I just need to know where price is now and where it has been. So this may or may not be an issue. There is the option of going through a broker that does give you quotes without games and just charges you a commission (e.g. MBTrading). There are some great advantages to Forex such as precise money management for those with smaller accounts. It just comes down to what you need and want. But don't believe any blanket statement and always do your own due diligence.

So I see that the first meeting was a bust. For you beginners out there, (imo) THIS BOOK is one of the best for making it in this career...or any competitive one for that matter.

Hey Brownsfan, I've been looking into the same thing for me and some fellow traders that regularly hang out in the current TL chatroom. It really depends on how many people you wish to share with, how often, and do you need the ability for multiple screen shares at the same time (versus a "presenter"). Good resources that I have found.... Web conferencing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Comparison of web conferencing software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I believe that Skype now has screen sharing native with no need for a plugin. Currently DimDim seems to be a very popular service. The free version probably has everything you would need. Also, you can run it on your own server for free if you have one. It seems like their paid version mainly gives you more dedicated resources (runs faster) and some customization. Even with their "Pro" version the cost is almost half of the other popular services (WebEx, OmNoiva, etc).

They now have futures information. Futures Check it out.

In the iTunes application click on "iTunes Store" on the left side. ...then on the right side click "Redeem" under "Quick Links". I used the second one on the list.
