That's why I'm asking to see statements from all accounts he's trading. Of course the trust issue remains the same.

and your expected drawdown?

1-2 months sounds fair? Even 3 months would be a blip on the statistical radar screen. I'm trying to cut you a break with just 3 months and the ability to prove to some others you can deliver in this short time frame. But I'm a skeptic that is why I'm willing to short 5% of your performance...

Here's an idea: I'll set up a paper trading account and you trade it for 3 months. If you are successful in delivering your stated returns then I will pay you 5% of gains on this fake money account and fund a real account for you to trade. We can iron out the details but what do you think of...

Added to my short here.

There are so many permutations that can get you where you think you want to be and even more to leave you at a dead end. Luck can even play a bigger role than skill. But my suggestion to you remains the same. And forget about being knowledgeable in all different asset classes. They will want...

If you got very good grades at this top school and you've seriously looked around for jobs (not just internships) in a finance related field then I would suggest you go for it. Work for a few years and then go to a top MBA program. If your ideal is to prop trade with your own money and live a...

I completely agree. What really gets me is when the market is up, they'll quote all the bulls but then on a down day, they quote the bears. That really bugs me.

Are you directing this to me? If so, you should understand that I don't trade the news. And if I did, why would I ignore last week's news of severe rain and floods but then trade this news of drier weather? I merely posted this to show that on any given day, there can and will be 'news' to...

Thanks for the advice. And to be clear I'm not a 'grain' trader, but I do have a lot of trading experience and am quite humble (as evidenced by the handle I chose). This doesn't dissuade me from the fact that I know I am going against the grain (haha) and most if not all 'facts' point to...

Sorry, don't know him.

You tell em ProfLogic!

It's great to see that I'm in such a minority here. Could it be that everyone who plays in this market is LONG? We'll find out soon enough.

Top and bottom calling is so much more exciting and invites much more debate. Anyways, if I lose 20k on this trade then that should satisfy you enough.

Ok so Simpleton might conjure up an image of a brain challenged individual but my opinions (which may be a minority at this moment) are stupid because they aren't the same as yours? And to top it off, you don't even trade this market! You're a joke.

idiot and pinhead huh? very mature of you

Thx and maybe Dec corn does hit 8.23 but it won't kill me.
