    Life after Proprietary Trading?

    If you are, then ask yourself if an MBA will make you more profitable. If yes, by all means go. If no, then forget it. The MBA market is highly correlated to the stock market. MBAs are highly sought after in booms. In bear markets...well just look at the recent IBank lay-offs. And if...

    Anyone work for a market making firm?

    I'm just curious. Before the market collapse, I was seriously considering working at an options market maker in Chicago. It seemed like great money with low risk if you could get in. After all, you get to see all the order flow right? Anybody ever work for one of these firms? Or know...

    LBR chat room

    This is my problem. She can easily make money as a fund manager or trading her own account. God knows she's made enough money to have a decent account size. Yes a seminar is easy money but why bother giving secrets away when she's been so succesful? Maybe she's lost her edge. If you read...

    Trading journal-My first trade

    Thanks for posting your journals up. They're really insightful. I'm kind of in the same stages you're in right now. I was wondering if you tried any of the relaxation or self hypnosis techniques to help you trade. I know that Michael Jordan and a lot of other atheletes use those techniques...

    Trading journal-My first trade

    I like to drink a bottle of cheap whiskey and beat the kids. That eases the pain. Seriously though... weightlifting, meditation, yoga, sex, there's all kinds of things you can do to ease the pain. It might not make a losing day seem any better but it does take the edge off.

    Market Direction

    let me try and answer your q's. 1. He starts his calculation when the exchange opens. I would not use an earlier time unless you've got an electronic contract or a foreign one where all the buyers and sellers are IN PLACE already. It's like you're taking a vote of the buyers and sellers...

    Yes it is possible to miss the morning action which is the best. It is really a technique of risk reduction. When I realized that I would have to miss the morning action, I considered not using the tool. But then, I realized that it might reduce my risk so better improving my reward/risk...

    What time frame are you talking about? If you mean a year or something like that, call George Soros. If you mean intraday, there's a great indicator I found at www.clayburg.com. The author claims a high probability of success. I've used it and it seems to work for the short time span I've...

    Trading journal-My first trade

    It happens to us all at least once. I remember when I recommended my uncle to buy Iridium. Remember that? A $2000 cell phone that was the size of a submachine gun. It was back around 96, 97 I think. Somehow everybody was crazy about the ability to communicate around the world. A little bit...

    If I were you I'd much rather go to an ECHOTRADE seminar. Or a Bright seminar if it's in your area. Ask Rtharp about Echotrade seminars. IMHO real live training is better than online coaching. If you're willing to spend 3K, you can take a seminar with Linda Bradford Raschke. She was in...

    Go to one of her seminars. It will set you back 3K but she is the real deal. She might do another one this year. She supposedly taught some bank's currency traders and other professionals how to trade.

    DaytraderPro.com

    They have the equivalent of a $15 ticket charge (that's the minimum commission for an options trade) and you can start trading 1 or 2 QQQ option contracts. The P/L may not be that much right away but if you make 20-30 points a month and that's a living. Then you can start trading more...
