YoungTrader, I spoke with a guy a couple months ago who has a locals clearing firm and he said that no one knows how to make money anymore since crude has gone on globex. So the opportunities are huge in crude. He alot of his guys have just took there stock and kind of retired. So I think...

YoungTrader, I dont blame you on the school thing, I hated school when I was there. Be thankful that you have found your calling and you know what to do an how to do it. You are probably 10 years ahead of your piers. I got a kick out of that college thread they had going. The funny thing...

YoungTrader, Those are some good points and there was buying today, so tomorrows report could be a disappointment to the bulls. I guess I was referring to the bigger trend in crude. Crude is just such a crazy trade with all that volatility. It wouldn't surprise me to see it down a couple...

Vastox, These guys have given you good advice. Read all those books ProfitTakingFool mentioned and then re-read. We have all read those books multiple times. Then read through ET there is alot of info. on here. Make notes and questions along the way and then come back here to post, it will...

YoungTrader, I know you got to be loving this Christmas vacation and being able to watch the market all day.......

YoungTrader, I dont trade crude or know much about it, but I have noticed for a while that it seems to be correlating with stocks. (if the economy holds up, so will oil demand logic). And is illogical as it may seem, with all the bad news, i think stocks are going to go higher and if they do...

money is only one way to measure the cost. ICARUS5, What you are talking about makes the money part seem like nothing. I hope i dont ever have to go through some of the emotions I have gone through on this journey ever again. Being in a less then desirable position, staying up all night...

Here are two links for everyone to check out regarding a MSFE degree: http://business.kent.edu/msfe/ http://www-finmath.uchicago.edu/new/msfm/home/index.php Personally I hated school and didn't even consider college. But I have respect for the MSFE degree. lol I dont think college is...

Yeah it's great, then he can automate his 20% yearly performance ... cool. It is more then that. It is the closest thing anyone will get along the lines to being "taught" how to trade... And it will only cost him like 25k.... that is probally less then going the self-taught way.

But in all seriousness, I think having a software/math/finance background is probably the best possible combination if somebody does decide to go to school. Tradestrong, I agree with that. You should look into that MSFE degree, since you already know something about trading and have the...

90% of trading is now "Financial Modeling and Black Box Trading". Which require not only a degree in Finance but a degree in "mathematics" EMRGLOBAL, The MSFE degree is good stuff, really good stuff. But trading is trading. Goldmans Quant Funds have gotten killed since august. Floor...

Oh, and Frank Thomas, I'm not implying my above statement to your posts here that you were misleading people Tradestrong, It is all good. School is not a bad place for a person who is not quite sure what to do in life, the millitary is not bad either. Anyone going the route of...

A degree gives you an edge in life. What edge did it give you?

Not everybody who trades in the market is a daytrader. You don't need a "pro" platform to swing trade. Honestly, I through out a low figure there because I don't believe anybody participating in this thread claiming that a degree is worthless is actually making a significant (or...

You know. I don't like to get too deeply involved when people start shouting out what can be done and what can't be done in the markets. On every thread you have people saying "you can't make x amount in a day" or "it's impossible to trade today" on a day when the previous trend is...

What is the benefit of NOT having a degree, unless you are achieving some kind of success or achievement in lieu of it? How are you empowered by not having this standard that most of both your colleagues and adversaries have achieved? For me personally, I am to busy trading, working on my...

Youngtrader is going to be in for a world of disappointment if he chooses to forgo university in favor of "trading" YoungTrader probably makes more money then you trading and he is in High School.....lol

OK OK, we got YoungTrader on this thread now!!!! Some people do not need college to succeed, it is as simple as that. I am trying to be fair about it, and have mentioned that some people may very well need college or do better if they go to college....but it's the damn plain truth that some...

Reaver, Another great post!!! I have friends that did the collage thing and think they are pretty hot shit for it. (as you can probably guess i didn't go to collage) Sometimes they will make a remark about collage and imply something kind of smart ass, then I just love im ing them a...

Reaver, You are the fuckin truth.... good posts on this thread!!!!
