I defiantly break the elite trader type! Special Ed High School drop out, did not know how to read or do math as a teen. Picked up everything on my own. I could fix or design just about anything, and scored an 89 the first time around on my Series 7. Worked prop for 5 yrs and have been writing...

I worked with one guy at Worldco that learned in 6 months and never had a loosing month since. It took me 4 years. Schonfelds top trader took 5 years of loosing money and begging to quit before he turned. On average the learning curve is 2 to 5 years to be net profitable! About 6 months to start...

Who cares when you can finance a home with zero money down and a minimum interest payment of 1% on a 6.5% loan! Hell I can even go out to eat every night using my credit cards! I ONLY have to do the minimum payments! Life is grand an’t it!!!! LOL

anyone?

I guess the government does not get it. Hallmark for example can only sell cards for a few holidays a year. But for pot farmers there are as many as two 4:20 a day….Chachingoo

1 name "Walter Scott Bruan" any questions?

I can say this, systems do work! I have a few that work great picking tops and bottoms intra day on indexes. But it took me over 5 years to figure out how and why to write a system. Personally I never believed in system trading until about a year ago. I spent 3 of those years trading prop and...

Wow I did not know it was already that bad in some of these areas! I guess it is another opportunity… If I lived in some of these places I would be buying these houses for pennies on the dollar. Not to flip them. But if I got them cheap enough and with the rates out pricing buyers I would make...
