Hello from a new guy
Hello everyone, my name is Jim, or you can call me Aiki.
I have been a full time equity trader for 3 years now. I actually trade around 150 days a year but have no other employment. My trades are usually swings or momentum trades with holds from 1 or 2 days to weeks, I will occasionally trade intraday but usually around a core position in that stock. I trade throught the Thompson professional workstation, and in accounts with Merrill Lynch and E*Trade. I look forward to continuing my education in this game, and to participating here in some positive fashion. It's also nice to see some of my friends are already here, so it's already a warm and fuzzy place.

welcome Jim. it's good to have you here. the fact that you are a full time trader is also great as hopefully you will be able to help many new traders on this forum find their "way".
I'm assuming you are trading from home?

I do in fact trade from home, as nobody would allow me to trade anywhere else wearing shorts and a ratty old star trek tee shirt  .
