    options . . . very hard to make money

    In a previous post you wrote to IV_Trader: "lets just say, you, and some other ft types helped me" Here is the post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1950776&highlight=ft+types#post1950776 "ft" = fattail?

    options . . . very hard to make money

    Rew, if you're envious (I know I am!) of SIV66's returns, why don't you try to reverse-engineer his strats from his past posts? Concentrate on past posts where he interacts with Atticus, IV_Trader, OptionCoach, and other "ft types who helped [him] out." Shouldn't be too hard, especially if...

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    My vote's on the former. IBilly is not a rocket scientist, your explanations are simply over his head.

    Out of sample testing of patterns

    Actually results would have been slightly better than the results of Harris's patterns. You've won the argument, but you won't be able to convince Bill. Harris choose his long pattern "out of sample" period with the benefit of hindsight. The patterns did slightly worse than would have been...

    Assent

    I heard your boy Joe was shopping your whole office around. Maybe you can just stay where you are and a new name will go on the door.

    Drop the prop traders. Looks like I was wrong about the timing. Apparently the carnage started today.

    Assent

    That Sungard decides on future direction for Assent on that day. Only an unsubstantiated rumor at this point. Ask the OP what he knows. He probably knows more than I do.

    Yes. Friday is the date I am hearing. I guess the cat is out of the bag.

    Breaking the conventional knowledge...

    I have seen traders even more obtuse and unintelligent than you are (believe it or not, such people exist!), and more obnoxious, succeed spectacularly in similar situations. So good luck and I hope you hit it out of the park!!!

    Bucket Shop Arbitrage

    Let me get this straight. You are a BSD bank prop trader yet you are also a bucketshop arb player for nickels and dimes? Yeah right. One of the above descriptions is false. I'm guessing, given your ignorance of the OTC options market, that the false one is "big bank prop desk trader." The...

    Just curious Wang, have you worked in the industry at all? Or is all your experience at uni? Did you say you were at MIT? Or am I just imagining that?

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    Much of the material in the book came from the gated portion of his site, not the free blog. The gated section cost $4.95 per month prior to the publication of the book. Now it is free if you read the book, as a login/password pair is printed therein. The book is a brief introduction to the...

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    You are delusional. Anyone who knows Perry, knows that he is a mental lightweight, who (like Ernie Chan and many others) has never made money trading. Ernie, on the other hand, is fairly bright, at least one sigma smarter than Kaufman, probably two. Perry worked for John Deuss for quite some...

    How to acquire Accredited Investors for a small Hedge Fund!

    Hmmmmm, that is a tough one. If you can't play golf... Wait, I know -- post your solicitations here on ET, which is full of accredited investors eager to give an unknown quantity like you a shot at the main chance. Your probability of sales success will be inversely proportional to the IQ...

    For God's sake Wang, take the $280m before they come to their senses! No matter where the job is, take it. It could take them months to figure out that you are a complete tosser, and by then you might have saved enough to open a prop account at Velez.
