...and it's from a guy i used to work with while i was trading full-time but still working on the side. He's a cramer follower and had a number of investments (at least the ones he told me about) work in his favor. I never cared for his advice but i at least would caution him on any potential...

Statistical Arbitrage, nothing no swift trader can't learn or figure out because there's hundreds of these strategies out there (think convertible bonds for one) I don't know why i have to keep reiterating this...It has nothing to do with them, the traders. It has everything to do with...

Better than professional traders...I guess i missed the article about them in trader monthly. :confused: Ha ha, you actually think ecn credits is a viable strategy. Swift trade is a gimmick, no methodology they use will stand the test of time. If you had bothered to read the next line...

Here's one....ask the guy interviewing you how much HE makes from trading.

You're not really gonna find any training at any of these prop shops...it will all come down to you for the most part.

I used quest for awhile...maybe a year, year and a half. Pretty decent, Gary Miskin seemed like a stand-up guy.

I don't know about that, swift has been around for a number of years already. I'm sure one of the diggers on this site will find a source approximating swift's net worth. Peter Beck is a snake alright, I don't think swift trade could be where it's at if they didn't have someone like him at...

I should point something else out that comparing us or a similar firm to swift isn't the same. We're professional traders (licensed) where only a small percentage of swift traders are. Keeping that in mind i wasn't suggesting that a 'casual' trader who's seeking greener pastures would be...

Yes it's positions, you wouldn't be placing multiple orders anyway (unless they were in different stocks and you were looking to get in many simultaneous positions) - because we're hedge traders. The ratio was just an example, it only applies to overnights and isn't a set amount/ratio. It...

Wow you need to do some better research. I have unlimited intraday buying power and usually hold about 20-1 in overnight positions and keep 100% of my profits. But then again this isn't a churn-factory outlet.

Did i read that right....some BMs charge you a fee to plunk down as a trainee? Jesus i hope this is at a successful branch where you'll be actually mentored somewhat. Another point i'd like to make is that the top swift traders probably think there isn't anywhere further up to go...

Holy relax! i just asked a question because i know nothing about this...i'm a hedged trader (but short and long term) so i know there's no perfect strategy, just managed risk - because we all know there's risk in everything you do. [b] Maybe not, a few years back when i was in swift i...

Is there anyone making money at swift trading a methodology other than this millenium arb?

This is probably the worst motivation you could have... Any trader will tell you that comparing yourself to another trader is a bad idea. These great hedge funds are run by traders that have been around a long time, with a (or in many cases several) proven methodology. You can't just...

You can get some used deadborne series 7 books from ebay pretty cheap.

Here we go again... :p

hehehe i just went over one of the listings... ADDITIONAL SKILLS: -Video game play history (gamers) -Ability to have fun under pressure -Poker skills -Market interest -Enjoys a challenge -Ability to “think outside of the box” Maybe this add should be posted in a high...

Maybe you should ask anybody that didn't get 'hired' at swift and just don't ask his/her questions....lol

I'm not trying to sound like a dick but wasn't it just a few weeks back you seemed to be losing sleep over your trading because you felt it wasn't as good as it could be? Is it really critical that you need this additional investment...? i just want to make sure you're prepared (in your...

Well if you didn't have any success from doing a search on the firm using the button at the top right, or by reading the comments on the brokers section (green tabs at the top of the page), you can just ask if anyone has traded or trades at this firm. Any one of these should give you some answers.
