Yeah.. we know what yah is saying. I was just pointing out stuff. I don't believe in censorships. Besides, I'm not the moderator these threads and I can't delete other people's postings anyhow. well, on monday, we'll see if great techniques will be backed with great results..

SuperEgo, Well, I'm glad that you are confident about your methods in trading and happy with things. However, as rs7 pointed out, isn't it a bit much to put down other's people techniques to elevate yours? IMHO, trading is NOT about the "holy grail" technique(s) b/c NO SUCH thing exist...

Dude! I'm trader99. And I'm NOT TraderX64. I don't even know who he is. Geez. People get some creativity in here. If you look through the discussion thread, you'll noticed I'm the writer of mature, professional, institutional comments about the market, strategies, and whatever topic of...

Daliddleguy: It's refreshing to hear some honesty around here. True self-examinations is the only path to lasting change and greatness. Anyhow, I like to point out the fact that you said you loss about $300K in 1999 - during the BEST RAGING BULL market year we EVER HAD IN HISTORY...

Wednesday July 3, 9:46 am Eastern Time Reuters Business Report JERSEY CITY (Reuters) - Knight Trading Group Inc. (NasdaqNM:NITE - News). on Wednesday said it would report a quarterly loss, missing analyst expectations, and it also said it had shed 10 percent of its work force, pushing...

I think Clinton was a genuinely "smart" guy. Here, I meant to say smart as in academic, but not necessarily in ANY other dimensions. Probably not so smart with his many affairs. hehe. Jimmy Carter has a Phd in nuclear engineering but an unpopular prez. Wilson was a professor at Princeton...

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/02/opinion/02KRUG.html Everyone Is Outraged By PAUL KRUGMAN rthur Levitt, Bill Clinton's choice to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, crusaded for better policing of corporate accounting — though he was often stymied by the power of lobbyists...

Babak! Thanks man! I was hoping someone would scan in the photo. But this is even better. you found the actual color html link on the Island website. The photo in Barron's was just black&white. way to go! :)

Do I hear an ECHO somewhere? Didn't I just said that earlier? hehe. j/k. well, it's all cool.

Yeah, I know where you are coming from. I think 'strictly" equities markets are not zero sum though some people think so. Equities can actually be a POSITIVE sum game. Everyone can "win" in the long run as stock markets continues to go up(have a long-term positive bias). But, derivatives, by...

Yep. It's a HUGE hypocripsy and illusion for Wall St to condescence on the public for daytrading when they themselves(part of the Establishment) are by FAR the BIGGEST DAYTRADERS around. Having been in the i.b./a.m. environment, I keep telling people that specialists/MMs are basically the...

What you say might sound right and logical, but I think there's more to it right. I mean if whoever posted that(a new college grad ??) obviously didn't have any experience in the market/trading and he/she tries prop trading and fail like most people, are you saying they should be penalize...

Yep. That's a good illustration. But, academics called it a "zero sum game" in theory. That's in a "frictionless" world(i.e. no slippage, commission, market impact,etc.) But in the real world, it ends up being a "negative sum game", b/c of the factors I listed.

chase, OK. That's a good attitude to have! Way to go. But I think for most professional people(including myself) as well as new college grads or newbies(especially them), the question is not so much as $ but more of "opportunity cost". I mean I've done both worlds so it's OK in some...

Thanks for vote of confidence. I sure hope I'll make it. Cuz I just know I will.. It's burning inside of me... :) At what level of trading would you think be "satisfied" with? $80K/y ? $100K/yr? $200K/yr? $500K/yr? $1m/yr? $1M++? How do you measure your level of satisfaction with your...

Hmm... I think what you are saying is probably partly true. I'm not sure what's life AFTER prop trading as another thread pointed out. is there one? haha. Let me say this as a reflection. I went the a.m/ib/institutional route after college and I learned a great deal about how...

yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it. But I remember before Barton went on a kill spree , "daytrader" wasn't such a bad term. But after that event, its currency went down signficantly. And people associated that with gambling addiction, people losing their life savings as well as their...

The list just goes on and on.. I'm surprised you never thought about looking at Bloomberg terminal/website since that's the ground zero for info among finance people. _____________________________________________ HIGH YIELD TRADER Details Location: US-NY-New York Base Pay...

Don, There are postings every day on job boards. Just do a search. But since you have been "bugging" about it(nothing wrong with that since you want to know some facts and don't know where to look for them), I did a little search for you on Bloomberg(you can do it via the terminal or the...
