Can you or some one on this thread recommend some quality 'hands on' class room training available to become a good day trader? I noticed that there currently is no "Training" section in the thread summary. There are several places you may want to try. 1) Although I haven't personally tried the course, Alan Farley's (TraderAlan) website has a web based training course which is supposed to be excellent (http://www.hardrightedge.com) 2) If you are looking for 'class room' training, some of the best courses available are offered by Pristine.com (http://www.pristine.com/seminars.htm). Pristine has even been hired by Cornerstone Securities to provide training to their customers trading out of Cornerstone offices (http://www.pristine.com/press5.htm). Searching the thread for recent posts regarding training, I found: #reply-11370686 (Dan Clark) #reply-11349361 (Palo Alto) #reply-11289627 (TraderAlan) #reply-11227536 (Dan Duchardt) #reply-11102106 (Palo Alto) #reply-10962846 (OZ) Good luck, -Eric

xray: I just noticed that you may live near the NY area. If so, you might also be interested in the Pristine mentorship program. This is a six to nine month training period at one of the Pristine offices where students trade and receive daily instruction from successful traders. There is a nominal cost to trade in their offices (using their equipment, etc.), but the commission rates are very attractive for traders-in-training, at $0.025/share. Therefore, if you are trading in 500 share lots, your ticket charge is only $12 per ticket. Also, unlike some other firms, they don't push you to grind out lots of tickets. I know the guy in charge of the NY mentorship program in Mike Campion, but I don't know his phone number. Anyway, just a thought. Good luck, -Eric ericpatterson@home.com
