Hi mmaker. My feeling from a brief look at Attain and Block is similar to yours. That is, they are advertising a way of making a low six figure income on about 100K of equity if you turn out to be good. Position trading right now is like shooting fish in a barrel. I can't believe how easy it is this year. I'm going to go with Block, and try em out towards the end of the month. The reason for choosing them over Attain was at least partly the feeling that there was less pressure to run trades at Block. If it works out to be easy, then I will consider a home feed, but I think it is a great idea to take advantage of advice from others when you are a starter in a field. By the way, I am still long 2000 shares of ADEX I bot this morning for 15 7/16. I have no doubt that with a level-2 system I would have got out and got back in at least once today, for a greater profit. Like DrRisk, I think the execution is extremely important to a short term position trader. I am also looking forward to easier execution of short sales. I went long AMZN puts yesterday, and was so disappointed with the execution those market makers give you. I made a K-buck but the market maker nipped me for at least $375 getting in and out. (I was "spread"-eagled. I'd have done a lot better with a shorter term.) I should swear to leave options alone. On the other hand, I don't envy the option market maker's situations. Having to provide a liquid market for both sides of the spread is just a vicious way to have make a living. -- Carl
