Military is a very good background to come from for trading. Discipline is huge.

Yes, that's a good start. But like someone else mentioned there is more to it than just that. Unless you are a robot (or perhaps a serial killer) then you need to learn to control yourself, your emotions and natural tendencies. You need to battle test yourself again and again and again until you...

Even though "Trading Places" isn't really a trading movie in the true sense it is from the early 80s before the internet. More recent than Livermore at least.

Problem is, for quite some time you will not know how to build the machine that produces the product you desire (many never are able to get the machine to work). If you keep messing up the machine, your raw materials will evaporate and you may not be able to replenish them.

He was there, he was just serving you guys drinks and cleaning the puke out of the men's room :D

I have been "in the waters" for 10 yrs. Not saying I am the zen master but I have been around the block. You are free to try to catch 1 pt a day with 1 tick slippage, just saying it's very unlikely. And I'm not against inverted R/R, nothing wrong with that, all that matters is your win rate...
