Just noticed this thread, not usually in the Chit Chat forum. But yes, definitely exciting to read stories from more experienced traders and learn from their past. Great stuff :cool: Volente, I'm going to guess at least 10 million, but I'm probably wrong and it is probably more. Just a...

Welcome back Electric, were you on vacation or just taking a break from ET? You can't beat buffet.... *or can you?*

Close to $450, on the YM, I think I made up to 80 trades on a $4.90 r/t. I made my broker rich.... That was the last day I traded futures, as I had known I'd never get anywhere unless I had rock bottom commissions, so there went on my move to Equities, and haven't looked back.

Jealousy gets you nowhere in life, just another loser that wishes he could pull off your numbers Steve.

Hmmmm... what is on the wall? Trading rules, Entry Rules :p BTW, I used to have a desk almost exactly like that, sucks doesn't it? :p Good thing is, there is no space to put junk on it, where'as mine always has stuff on it. Strange seeing a left handed set-up, first I think...

More pics! We want more trading setups! Well, at least I'd like to see some more..... :cool:

Kinda like I was going to say... I say most traders lose because they are destined to lose. They come into this game, with a mentality, that will never allow them to progress. They just find trading as a quick fix for money, and expect huge results. I think that could simply sum it up...

Well, Vincent has explained how he trades, he is a trader himself, which is very nice... very very nice. I know more about prop firms just from talking to their owners than ever, and I pretty much have done my research, on a lot of firms and was happy to join, and I know when I can hold a...

I trade there, no requirement to do pennies. I did state in my other thread that I pay 68 cents per-ticket at 60% payout for first 2 months, at 100 to 1 leverage. I'm currently in the process of transforming my website where I have prop firms listed (incase you got it off of there), into a...

That deal makes no sense. I'm at a firm where I pay 68 cents per execution, and am going to be paid 60% of my net and have 100 to 1 buying power with 1k deposit. If I do well after the first two months a better contract will be agreed upon. I don't see how either of those deals that are...

The thread serves it's purpose. Let's imagine every single person on that thread is lying, and they are all faking it somehow. Does it really affect your trading? Does it really affect their trading? Does it even really matter? The thread is supposed to serve as inspiration, which...

I say Deal. Although I don't agree that it will be the end of the world, I do think terrorists will be thinking of some mighty clever things for this date. It just has that type of importance, and it's going to get so much attention, that I think some bad activity will happen on that date...

http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html According to ancient Mayan history, December 21st of 2012 is where their Long Count Calendar ends, and is when the world as we know it, will basically end and start a new. I watched a show on TV last night on the discovery channel I believe it...

illiquid has great advice, he knows more about the topic than I do. I think a key to being a good trader is confidence, not giving up. Once you start feeling like your doing bad, and then start to fear failure because your thinking about it, I think it just goes all downhill from there...

Just curious why you stopped posting your blotter? Regardless of what anyone says, YOU need to do what YOU can do to improve your performance, and improve the amount of money you make. Reducing your losses is always a good idea. Following rules is a good idea, if they help you. There are...

What one trader gets, might not specifically be what another trader gets. This is where negotiation, making a lot of money and proving it to your broker/firm, and doing volume come into play. I know someone on here that does .0015 at Genesis and he does around 2 million shares, he didn't say...

Profit split, at least... maybe 80% that I have talked to, not sure about Steve_T, but I think he probably is as well since when he posts in blotter he gives us a different number than on his software, but not sure. I'm at a profit-split, but at .68 cents per trade, there isn't any way your...

.005 - .007, but that isn't necessarily better than taking a .68 cent per-execution at a profit split (like at my firm) or .001 at 80%. If you remove liquidity, could get harsh. http://www.utropix.com/jmowery/PropFirms.html here are a lot of your options.

... don't we have journals, I think you need to get one John if you don't already... kinda annoying to read all your crap on here when I just wanted to read about the information.

If i started with $100 and now have made $400........... yeah, this poll is stupid & useless. Therefore have chosen the last option.
