How many times do people have to be told this! As long as you have a deep inner desire to succeed and are extremely motivated and work hard to succeed at this business you will do fine and most likely get a job working for a respectible firm. (doesn't hurt to not be a complete moron either...

haha thanks man ill see what i can do!

Thanks for the concern guys. I just moved into an apartment in lincoln park. Nice place and mostly college kids live in the complex. I love lincoln park so far and lots of things going on. Pabst and ammo, I consider you guys personal friends as we have talked many times before. I...

Thanks fellas, I appreciate all the help. Well until I actually go down there tomorrow with my folks for the move I have no idea where I will end up living but more than likely it sounds like that fullerton area in Lincoln Park is the place to be. Also does anybody have any experience...

Yeah I think im going to like it in Chicago! :D

Thanks man I really appreciate it! Now fullerton L is in lincoln park or in downtown? Sorry im not that familier with Chicago yet. If I were to live near fullerton L your saying I would be able to take the L straight from work to home? Is it safe to take the L at 1am? Halsted is a...

Thanks guys.....yeah I think im just going to get a place in Lincoln Park. That way im with the college crowd (Oh and believe me I can hang with that bunch) and I know quite a few guys that go to DePaul and live in Lincoln Park. I think it will be worth the $10 cab fare every night :D

I am 18 years old and will be moving down to Chicago on Thursday and taking a job as a proprietary trader at one of the local prop firms in the downtown area. They are starting me out working the asian shift so I wouldn't be getting off work until around 1am. Does anybody know of any good...

LOL nice work my friend! It is a good life isn't it? However its a shame you couldn't muster up the courage to hike up your skirt, grab your balls and actually sling a few contracts around.....oh well I guess some parts of the business aren't for everyone. :D

Totally unrealistic........when I first started to scalp I opened up a sim account and just was being the bid and offer all day and I was literally printing money as I waited for orderflow to hit my bid or offer and then I would make the spread. Well turns out I didn't take into account that if...

Don't really know if I qualify as im only 18 but have been trading and making money since August 06......obviosly still living with my parents I don't have many expenses but when I do i am completely self sufficient.

I don't even know what telephonic means??? I would imagine an interview over the phone correct? Yes I did interview for a trading position and recieved an offer from them but decided to go with another firm that I felt was a better fit for me. No idea what they would ask a financial...

Interviewed with them before......they are one of the biggest players in the grain options pits. Also have a small proprietary trading opporation that is still in its infancy. Usually they start guys out by having them clerk in the options pits for 6-8 months and then slowly move them to the...

OJ- Piece of shit to position trade but real nice market to scalp.....just watch the orderbook and literally play local in that market. Can usually catch some nice stops every now and then and make some decent cash!

Still trading and do quite well......most of my trades are extremely fast scalps based on the orderbook and are really too fast for me to post about....plus my trades are so quick and for so little that usually there is no value in posting........also i am just not on et as much as I used to be...

Want my advice? Don't waste your time!!! I am 18 years old and have made tons of money in the process but I feel like I am 48 years old (still can't buy beer though for some reason haha). This business is not for the faint of heart. You have to give it 110% all the time and as soon as...

Most of my trading is in the schatz market but I do occasionally trade euroswiss (talk about a dead contract but usually pretty good product to catch stops and scalp against a big paper order when it comes into the market) I didn't start watching sterling until after it went to half...

Wish my high school was doing this! Unfortunantly we only learn about things like reading adventures of huck finn and learning about greek history.........you know the stuff that really matters in life lol! Congrats on actually teaching something worthwhile! YT

Hence the reason the pits are still around! It sucks man but thats the way it goes sometimes.
