How To Swing Trade

Archive for the ‘trading tools’ Category

Is there an efficient tool to measure my trading performance vs an index? Maybe a website that can graph such information automatically etc? Unfortunately my broker does not have this option, thus I am looking for other possible solutions.

You can probably download your trades from your broker into Excel.

You can get the index info here:

On the left sidebar, click on Historical Prices, and at the bottom of the page click on Download to Spreadsheet

I have been invited for an interview to do proprietary stock trading in NY. From what I understand is that I will trade the firm’s capital and they will provide continuous education and tools to trade well. But I know nothing about proprietary trading. Do I trade inside the building side by side with other stock traders or at home? Will I get licensed later on? If you know more details, please share with me. Thank you.

Websters defines Proprietary as;

1 : one that possesses, owns, or holds exclusive right to something; specifically : proprietor 1
2 : something that is used, produced, or marketed under exclusive legal right of the inventor or maker; specifically : a drug (as a patent medicine) that is protected by secrecy, patent, or copyright against free competition as to name, product, composition, or process of manufacture

To me, proprietary stock trading means you are going to be trading the company’s own stock or trading from/with their own portfolio.

It’s unlikely this will be a work at home type gig. You would most likely be on a trading floor of the firm, working with others doing the same or similar things.

Best of luck on the interview!

Knock em’ dead.

Mine: industrial routers, sanders, markers, displays(all kinds),saws, tents, and trucks….Enigmatic, huh?

Fishy crackers, blue juice, card games, markers, crayons, paper, toys and my vehicle…..

I’m just embarking on my first attempts at online trading. A friend has volunteered to indoctrinate me in the best methods to use in investing and risk/reward management. Would this education give him the best tools for this job?

A series 7 certification is required if you want to be a stock broker in the U.S.

Since there are a whole range of stock brokers in the world, from stupid to brilliant, having a Series 7 certification does not necessarily mean they are a great stock broker.

However, you know your friend better than us, so you should be able to have a better idea of how skilled and knowledgeable he is.

Additionally, since he does have the certification, it is probably enough to give you some pointers and information about how the system works.

i want to do trading for hand tools, machineries & other general materials .so how can take TIN no.

i think you should inquire at the commercial taxes department for the procedure.
