    Moving into an apartment as a trader...

    If you pay the rent up front I would imagine you would have no trouble at all - most landlords would be happy to rent on those terms I would have thought - certainly in Europe. Sorry to hear about your dad as well - you're right, things can be tough when you don't know who to ask - can't...

    Schneider trader

    I think we have to remember there are a lot of numpties working in banks too, a lot of them just gliding by on 50-100k a year. Probably only 1% of these guys in the banks make really good money. Okay not everyone makes it in prop places, but I think if you do, the financial rewards are probably...

    ESTX50 traders

    I trade it quite a bit and can see it is a bit thinner than it used to be. Mostly <1000 bid offer now whereas before was usually 1000+ I can't help but think this is a market the flipper used to play with and is no longer present in?

    Is making a $100,000 a month prop/retail trading

    In 2003 I was able to make on average $100,000 a month, although some were more and some were less from memory none were down months. 2004 and 2005 were not up to that level, about 50-60% as I found I had to adapt my trading to chaging markets. I also know of a few people in my office who have...

    Trouble at Refco

    It's called a category 3, not 5. And it is £10,000 not 10,000 euros. And yes you have to either buy or rent an approved residence for your exclusive use. No other major criteria.

    What happened to FxSkalper?

    The guy was an absolute nightmare, full of sh1te. He kept telling me about how much money he was making so I asked him for proof. Sent me a copy of his demo account with $25k in it ahahahah. So he asked me, I sent him my daily p&l for two years, showing over $1.5m and he wouldn't believe it...

    The Fall of Refco Trading Services

    Question for you refco boys. The ones that RTS backed, I think their contract stipulates if either party went into administration the contract is terminated. Did RTS as part of the refco group go into administration or bankruptcy proceedings or was it just one part of refco. Also how likey is...

    EUREX HUB in Miami anyone?

    esmjb - I know what you are talking about. We opened a second office outside of the UK - when looking at locations we obviously had a short list of those with Eurex and Liffe hubs - we ended up in Gibraltar. I would imagine if the demand is there, Eurex will build one anywhere.

    Today's ECB Decision

    I have my best thoughts in the shower! Who knows what will happen - go with the flow I guess. On other things - you still know anyone in Oman? Sister was back there a few months ago - said it had changed massively.

    Today's ECB Decision

    Been hearing a lot of people now saying to be long into this conference, just like I've been hearing people trying to pick bottoms the last couple of days. The problem is once everyone is thinking the same think it won't happen - that's my worry now as I had the same feeling this morning in the...

    Stupid Eur/USD Trade

    On your S&P example, your stop was automatically pulled at the end of the day if not hit. Your exit was MOC. Are you saying that you did use something with this broker called a "stop loss" but you are now also saying that with your fx broker you are complaining to them because they are using the...
