    I figured out how to sell my system, all are welcome to come and BID

    So, if returns are 100%, why do you have max drawdown? Go sell your crap somewhere else.

    Retrospectively, what is the worst trading book you ever read?

    99% of trading books are useless and/or outdated. Maybe a few have a trace of original material, while the rest is just rehashing everything you already know.

    Opus Trading

    OpusAtlanta is basically ETG which they acquired. Same people, same office, different name. Do a search on ETG, because it's the same thing. Only payout ratios might have gone down, it seems.

    Looking for a job Options/CBOE

    Anyone? Hm...I smell desperation, and it's me. Since noone has replied with anything helpful, this leaves me to conclude that job market in our business is indeed tougher then I thought. I guess now I gotta learn programming and all the stuff to be competitive. SOS

    Looking for a job Options/CBOE

    Hmm... this is tougher then I thought. Sending out resumes like paper is free. Still no luck. All of a sudden this profession is so damn hard to....get in. Wish me luck as my time is running out.

    Schonfeld Vs. Carlin

    Schonfeld Vs. Carlin

    ETGs moto used to be by traders for traders....something like that. How can you run a successful trading company if you don't know how to trade? If you don't know what trading is all about how can you set up a good environment? I guess you can't, that's why I left. Would you rather work for a...

    Actually ETG told me (because I took all my money out) that if I want to come back and work for them (Schonfeld now) that I need to put in 30k recommended (25k minimum) and cannot touch it for one year. They are out of their minds. Plus like the other guy said they sold the firm. What does...
