I wonder if at this point Linda makes more from teaching or trading. I have never used her service but wonder how or why traders go from being in Market Wizards or making large sums of money from trading at one point to doing trading seminars and running teaching websites. If they were still...

Are you saying that by sharing here on ET it effected the stock that you were trading before? I am assuming that was LU if it was true. If so that sucks. Although they might not be vocal I am sure there are many traders here that appreciated your posts and I am guessing you have motivated...

I was wondering if the majority of the traders you worked with were of the short term scalping nature. To me it seems those types of traders can be extremely successful as long as the market condition they have learned continue. Being so short term in nature these traders seem to be able to...

I think there are several traders here that would be interested in knowing about a prop futures trading firm in San Diego or just in Sourthen California.

I had two questions and one thought for you, at least based on the trades you posted this morning. First do you have much difficulty getting a short off while waiting for an uptick? What are you doing for an initial stop when the first bar is really large (50 cents to $2) as it seems on...

I knew one of the traders on the list but from what I know the numbers and story were greatly exaggerated. Knowing that makes me a little suspect of many that are on the list. Also there were a few traders at the futures firm that I was at and many others in the chicago area that should have...

I visited a few futures trading firms over the last few days and was rather amazed at what I saw on the automated technology side of things at these firms. It was my belief going in and was reaffirmed after the visits that over the very short term most but not all short term futures scalping...

That is a good point about the commission costs. It seems many futures prop firms say they are not in it for the commissions yet they mark them up. This can rack up big money for firms if they promote the scalping methods that have their traders churning.

First I would sign this either. There are too many other options out there and basically leaves zero incentive for a firm to keep you happy if you started making the money. Although these are jobs it goes both ways. Also I am assuming this is only if you leave them to go work for another firm...

I have heard a very large successful emini scalping prop firm uses this to teach their traders how to scalp/trade orderflow. Beyond on that I have no other information about the software.

ALthough I agree with you on futures trading, I would consider a 120K drawdown a pretty big drawdown to learn futures. :D I am just busting your balls. Futures can be very good or very bad thing because of the leverage.

Outside of all of the hype you now see on CNBC I think there are some good signals that have come together to show some power behind this rally and maybe a rally that will have some follow through. The biggest things I have see are how the market blows off every bearish scenario. Oil use to...

Ditto. It would be nice to see CA again.

Wow I am rather surprised at your response with your background. However I think it is tough too but I only have a few years of realtime trading to compare it with and I would think a few of those years were considered abnormal anyway.

On just a side note I thought it was funny I could not find that thread I started on trading the market while being in the market all day long. Then I realized a moderator had changed the title of the thread since it turned into more of a Market Monk thread at this point. I guess the other...

Nice point. Where did the audited track record go. That was conveniently not updated. You would think that would be the first thing to do if you were going to ask for 10K from people.

I agree with you about having the right type of market, preferably one that has oscillations, volume, and not easily manipulated. I would have thought most of the equity markets and the euro would make good candidates because they seemed to have some oscillations where you are taking small...

Just for S--ts I wrote that trading monk person about his team he is building. I got back what basically looked like a generic email response. Everything seemed legit about the requirements he was wanting in a people until I got to this line. "You have an additional 10k in risk capital that...

So far it sounds like not that many people have either tried this method of trading or have had success with it.

That is interesting because someone on another thread had a way different experience it sounds like. Here is his post.
