Not everyone IS cut out for this. You seem to have the desire. That is only one part. A trader needs to be able to translate desire and knowledge into money. The street is littered with people who KNOW where the market or a particular stock is going, but they can't pull the trigger or...

Look under Carlinequities.com or something similiar. Carlin.

Don is right. If you can look past the down direction that nost traders have a bias against, this is a great trading market. Its summer too. What more can you ask for? Straight up? 1998. This is straight down. Us short siders are having a 1997-98 year.

Schonfeld has the closest thing to a model besides Don's opening gimmick that I know of.

1974-1982. Only the strong survived. Selling into strength and buying wekness and getting out if it didn't go your way right away while making your goals smaller. Expectations need to be LOWERED.

You need to be on the train before it starts moving. The moves are so fast and short that it is difficult to grab on without being defensive.

Robbie Stevens...oops. Generic has a good operation run by some guy named Chris, Spectrum, Bright, ETG. You could consider calling BofA prime brokerage services or SLK/Goldman's prime services and asking them for an introduction to the type of hedge fund you are looking for.

The question is whether a trader who gets 100% of his P&L is a customer or a prop trader. Some exchanges, not the NYSE, have taken the stance that if you "invest" in an LLC, then your money is at risk to the whole firm and you are a prop trader. The NYSE, says you can't even make a...
