    market maker

    George Soros says the only true education in trading is to first learn how to become a market maker. I guess you learn how the true dynamics of a market work and how buyers and sellers actually interact as opposed to looking for head and shoulders and 38.5 fibbonaci retracements which I (and...

    Bund/Bobl/Shatz Paper where are you?

    Hello, I've been trading the bund solid for the last 3 weeks and was wondering if you could give some examples of this 'flipping' as i'm quite intrigued to see exactly what the beef is about. At the moment i'm seeing some large orders go through -say 3400 lots, which knocks my strategy for...

    Prop Traders/Bureaus Traders in London

    Just send them an email saying you're an experienced trader and that you do lots of volume. They'll gladly show you round if you entertain them the notion that you'll bring them loads of money in commissions. Doubt anyone would allow to just look around out of curiosity.

    Rumor - is Mac/Refco in trouble?

    My son was offered a place on their graduate trader program this very morning for their London office. Think there's anything to worry about? My initial response was to say well done and snap up the offer but if this firms 'going down the pan' then its definately not the place I want him...

    lets be honest

    ok this sounds shit but lets be honest. Why do most of you think you can be successful traders? You all know the probabilities that 90% of traders fail yet most of you reckon you can make it into the 10% of profitable traders. I can only speak from a UK perspective but, there are only 100,000...

    Anyone Using IB for FOREX?

    They are very bad. Their spreads are large and they have the cheek to charge commision. Go with any other specialised FX broker, if your in the UK CMC Forex and IG Forex are very good reputable firms, smaller spreds and no commision. Oanda is also apparently very good for the smaller trader.

    How much $ you trading with?

    Another thing you could add to the poll is if you are profitable. That way we could see if your account size played in determining your succes rate. I'd hazard a guess that those in the 'less than 25k' and '25k to 100k' would only have a profitable 30%-40% whilst those in the higher brackets...
