Just because I don't post doesn't mean i'm not here. I'm on here every couple of days and check out what other people think. I'm a passive ET member.

It's not things that have happened to me personally, but I read when people bring up a question and they just get ridiculed. Sorry about posting in the wrong forum

Just my observation.

I posted this somewhere else too. Equity firms in Chicago are 5k down and little to no training. They are mostly just arcades. If you want a salary position. You have to go to one of the futures or options firms on the CBOT/CME/CBOE. You are not going to go anywhere and just start trading...

Well in Chicago it's the ones that are in options and futures. No equity firm trains you really they just churn and burn, especially if they make you put 5k down. Find a firm that has a salary. Not a draw down. This guarantees that the company will train you because they want you to become...

well there are only two ways the price can move, so there is a 50% chance it will go that way. However, if you are trading with a 3 pip spread then a 10 pip loss is only a move of 7 pips while a 10 pip gain is a move of 13. so if you are taking 4 pip profits but taking 7 pip losses, you...

long eur/usd short gbp/usd short eur/gbp aren't you technically neutral here? I know most fx brokers don't allow you to offset positions this way, so after paying the spread or a commission, couldn't you use this to try to pick price movement descrepencies?

public schools in chicago are pretty much garbage anywhere you go unless you get into a magnet high school. I don't know anyone from Chicago that actually went to a public school. If you want high-rise living try the south loop, cheaper than the near north and almost everything is new. If you...

Thanks for the responses sorry they didn't contact you.

Has anyone heard anything about this company in chicago?

I was trading equities basically 30 second trades trying to pick off 5-10 cents. I was looking for something with a little more analysis involved. I basically just have a bachelors degree in economics from a big ten university.

I've been out of college for a year and would really like to get into trading. I'm in the Chicago area. I've been to one firm, no salary just % of profit and really bad trading style, waste of my time. Are there any firms out there that trade currency futures and bonds and options that pay a...
