"for just a one night stand I don't really need to know her name" Lol...I really need to remember this line! Glad to see you back journaling on here :)

I spend plenty of time helping other people who want to get into trading/sharing things i've learned etc. just like some people helped me when I started and even to this day. Obv we are going to have to agree to disagree bc you don't seem to want to see the other side of the coin. Good though...

Not a bad idea, except then you will get all the people who just couldn't make it blacklisting a particular branch for their own failures. For ones on the whitelist, +1 to jnbadger's post and add Hold Bros, and Title Kelowna.

Steve, what did you use the 5k for? A security deposit or training? A security deposit won't get you anything but an account....sounds like your either at a bad branch or just not doing very well. I've been facing the reality of prop trading for 6 years btw, so my comments come from...

I just spent an hour replying to this and then lost it all when it told me the text was too long grrr...had to remove your quotes so my answers are to each of those. Most prop firms will not offer much training. If any firm promises you that you will be making $$$ in x amount of time, run the...

I started as a brand spanking newbie...I'd guess that a lot of us prop traders here in Canada did. My firm was 100% legit, and I know many others that are as well, but very few of them will provide much training. Hopefully there are experienced traders there that you can learn from (one of the...

Sterling sucked the last couple weeks yes, at the worst times possible. Nothing new from 2008 though. The newest version lets you switch servers manually. Helped a bit but many times none of them worked.

Just a quick update to add that Derek returned my friend's deposit in full.

To be honest I dont know...I expected it to be fedex-ed. If he doesn't receive it soon, Derek has told me he will reissue it, and he'll be asking for him to do that shortly. I hear what everyone is saying...I obviously left Everest for a reason myself. Just saying what my experience was at the...

I would just call Derek's cell for any info you need as he is still available to talk to. I traded through Everest for a short period of time, and decided to leave when I learned about the issues with the company. I can't comment on what happened because I am not entirely sure of the details...

I second the suggestion that you join a prop firm. You'll get their leverage, better commisions and access to other traders (if you pick a good one). Don't worry about giving away a cut of your profits. That won't matter for a long time.

I think its fine to brag about your trades as long as you aren't talking numbers or share size. I tell my family about my trading bc they've watched me struggle and grow with it throughout the years, and they are always interested even if they probably don't understand what I'm talking about...

- Big 65.00 support, short the break - This was 100% nic's fault and a pretty awful trade now that I look at it again (after a bunch of drinks) - out -0.13 http://puddles.humanfund.ca/wp/2011/04/13/2011-04-13-trades/ [/B] OK ok I take full responsibility for this one. This was actually...

BIDU strong from lunch, SPY drifting lower - I called it prior to 2 but didn't want to take a trade until 2 - nic takes.. I chase it.. - out -0.25 (nic's fault) We have totally different entries and exits...you are generally getting in where I am getting out and vice versa. Hopefully...

You better not be blaming me for SWY lol...
