    What should I do to become a professional trader?

    You don't need math to be successful, sure you need to be able to add, subtract, multiply and you really don't even need to know how to code. You only need to spend 10,000 hours looking at charts according to some guy who wrote a book. He is not too far off except for the following point...

    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    Are you making 50K on 500K or for that matter 5k on 50k? That's 10% per week. If so please PM me I'd like to talk.

    Fills at IB vs TS vs TOS

    Has anyone tested the fills we retail traders get at these three firms? I tried TS and TOS on a limit order on a calendar spread and they were filled in the same second. Of course that is a one trade test and not necessarily representative. I would like to know if there is data out there...
