I never said explicitly that it was Tower Hill/Great Point Capital. I will neither confirm nor deny.

Brilliant thanks. This is exceptional bone. I made all the systems prior to going there. I think they use the document more for retention than retaliation but then again excess optimism in others is what got me in this mess.

Thanks for the input, I was in no way that big of a trader but I had a very high Sharpe/Sortino ratio. I'm actually lucky enough to be speaking with some commodity/futures HFs so I might be able to do another asset class anyways.

Oh my former understanding was that the enforceability was on the state in which the NDA comes from not the state in which the NDA gets enforced. I'll do some further research.

This is a clever idea. I appreciate the input

Robert, Thanks for your input! I don't think the getting to waive it is on the table, they weren't very happy that I resigned.

Dear ET community. I am kind of a in a tight spot and would appreciate input on a non-compete and going forward plan. Thank you in advance for your relevant, constructive input! Summary: I was trading a consistently profitable automated trading system at a prop firm. Technology issues out...

Haha will do. I am meeting with him and a CPA next week. I have two tradIRAs I have traded from from 4k to 40ish when I was in college. I will consult further on SEP.

bone, Thanks for the info, that's very useful.

So I am currently trading a futures prop trading account that is under the name of another trader. He splits 50/50 net P and L with the firm, and he pays me half of that. I do all the trading but have no downside. I trade about 50 hours a week for this account. I work 30 hours a week...

Hey look another long opinion on silver. I think this belongs on seeking alpha with the 10,000 other 'this is where it is going' opinion posts. SLV moves on trading volume - not supply and demand (currently). SLV has traded 72 times the value of all physical silver this year. Supply and...

What are other intraday traders doing to identify good stocks for the day? Are you doing this all prior to market open or scanning the market throughout the day? So far my process has been scanning for the most dramatic overnight increases and watching for how price support places to find...

MWycliff, Thanks a lot for responding. Did you start at a prop/BB or go at it on your own? I don't really care about the money it is the process I enjoy. Was this how you felt?

This last week silver has traded suspiciously. I don't know how anyone can call bottoms or tops on a precious commodity that is worth only exactly how much its aggregate perception is, but so many are. I am a brand new trader, but when you see an incline so parabolic and then 2 days of...

Thanks the1, What are you doing this this wegree now? HFT/algo/MFE work?

Well said. I still have a ton to learn, but am having a lot of fun doing it. Me and my wife have plenty of contingency assets and skills to fall back on, but I couldn't not pursue something I enjoy so much.

thanks a lot!

Are you at all worried about the health of some of the companies? For instance in China most companies that are traded on their exchanges are financial black boxes. They typically improlde with little signal. I guess if you are pattern trading vice swinging this wouldn't be as important...

and before you attack I was refering to equities on a whole rather than precious metals. I think we've had a small taste of how metals can go wildly parapolic and still have 'long' support. Kind of silly, since there is nothing to define a precious metals value other than the perception of...

even if we dont see 'real gains' our 300b a month in new bills will US denominated equities trade up, since the dollars weakens against it, not dramatically but enough to keep 6-10% paper growth.
