Wow, this site went from a new format last time I logged in back to the old format. I kinda enjoyed some of the new features but oh well. Just bumping this thread since its been a week or so. Thanks for taking a look.

Hey Mav! Really good to hear from you. I'm actually very open to other opportunities related to financial mkts. I'm not only looking for trading positions (which I know are very very few and far between), but am open to other areas of financial services. I think I have pretty good...

Hey Gaj, My wife does have a full time job with benefits (SAG health insurance), it's just not necessarily steady. She makes great money now, and has for several years, but it's not necessarily the case that it will continue this way. There are a lot of variables in the voice over industry...

I have my K1 forms for 2005 and 2006 from Hold Brothers to prove my earnings. Each year I started with 5k risk capital, in 2005 I earned 125k and in 2006 230k. I mention these figures to show I have some experience in the field of trading and experience in financial markets. I don't know if...

Very good advice, thank you.

That's not accurate. To be honest, power point has played a fairly small role in business school so far.

Initially, it was very hard to gauge risk/reward while the NYSE stocks were getting used to a fully electronic structure. Ironically, I'm confident now that I'd be able to trade listed stocks again (albeit differently than before and with less frequency) but I promised my wife that I would get...

Just bumping this thread in the hopes that someone new will read my opening post. Thanks. -Steve

Hey Lescor, very good to hear from you. I do really love trading and maybe I will get back into it fulltime at some point but for now I'm thinking of getting a steady job lined up while, on the side, continuing to pursue creating an algo (which I've been working on for 4 years now). I also...

It may sound fishy but I have the documents to show my market related earnings. I worked at Hold Brothers in Jersey City back then. I left equities right after these good years because of major structural and technological changes occurring at the NYSE. Other traders will know what I'm talking...

Thanks for the responses so far. Yes, I am working on an algo but it's time and capital intensive and will most likely have to be something I do on the side. First order of business, though, is to find a job for after graduation :) I realize that an MBA is a different type of credential not...

Hi Everyone, It's been some years since I was active here on ET but I am posting this now because I am hoping to find work once I graduate from business school in a few months and thought that I might tap into ET and see if anyone remembers me and would be willing to take a look at my resume...

HaHa, it's actually true. I got a text message several hours ago from a friend who still frequents Elite and he told me there was a thread where I was being brought up. Yes, I'm still a trader and trading ES. Took a bit longer to get consistent than I anticipated but I worked my butt off to...

I was a few glasses of red wine deep when I posted, probably didn't word it as well as I would have liked. But we are on the same wavelength at least.

ok, sure :)

Price moves are never truly random, because there is always a reason for why price moved the way it did. The problem is it may appear random due to the fact that you saw a situation in which there were too many possibilities for price to do that it SEEMED random. The key is whittling it down to...

But its a good thing you started it, for your own betterment (ha, is this even a word?). No one likes opening themselves up to reality but really, its essential to getting out of the rut you find yourself in. It takes courage and the ability to put your pride aside and admit that you need to...

Push It To The Limit (from Scarface) - Paul Engemann

Volume is hugely important to how I trade the ES on a bar to bar basis.

TZ, you couldn't be more wrong. But if the OP is lazy, then yes I'd agree with you to stay away.
