Rosy's just conducting his own interview on the fly, to see if the OP knows what he claims. :D I would be very interested in this arrangement Joel, but my CTA is in NYC. Any thoughts on moving? In fact, I would be willing to talk to any programmers/quants in the NYC area only that would...

Agree 100%. John Kennedy Toole comes to mind, though the writing was brilliant.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. No I am not Ivy but I don't begrudge those who are. My experience has been that those just below Ivy try harder now because they saw just how close they could have been and now are kicking themselves for decisions made at age 17 or 18. For...

Your just bitter and jealous!

Well heck man, anyone who can process information that quickly and reply MUST be a good trader. Thank you for showing me the light. I think I will offer him a job now. And no, you don't have to do my laundry. Just trade the graphs and watch CNBC all day. How's 150 to start sound???

No way man, this kid's trying hard. Who else but a Uconn grad would be able to come back with that #58 ranking so quickly???

Look kid, I have no problem with you doing whatever your little heart desires. I'm just telling you sorry it aint gonna happen don't waste your time. Without an attitude adjustment, change in work ethic, accomplishments to speak of, you've got a snowballs chance in hell. Your only chance is...

Laughable, like the rest of your posts. Problem is, you haven't learned anything. You watch a couple of TV shows, throw around a few buzzwords. To your rebuttals: 1. Yes I know what Uconn is. While you have taken the "same classes", you have no connections to anyone that can be...

The advice I am trying to give you may be the most important of all, its called a REALITY CHECK. Let's see: 1) you went to a third tier school yet apparently have some math aptitude? Sounds like under-achievement to me. There is only one acceptable answer for me (not going to tell you...

No offense pal but you have NO options. You want to trade off the graphs with CNBC on in the background???? ROFLMAO!

As Rodney Dangerfield once said, "How about fantasyland"! The problem for the OP and his generation of coddled-I-deserve-XYZ -because- I- scored- ABC on some math test is that he knows nothing about hard work. We see it all the time on my desk (do not ask which one), though its usually...

Smoothing out your equity curve and reducing volatility can be accomplished in many ways. Hedged trades by definition are losers, just ask Jamie Dimon. :D

Anyone got some room in their office for a start-up CTA? Need secure room and internet connection. Will consider all reasonable offers. Thx.

OK great. I will have my guy take a closer look at it. And as far as the reports go, that's quite a list. Can someone else chime in if there are any other metrics I might need based on my original response? Ulcer Index? Z score? Or any other metric tradelink does not have...

Hi tradelink guy- I have come across your software, but I don't need to build anything in .net. My code is written in C++. Is there a way to still use tradelink? Does it have a sample report I could view to see what the results would look like? Thanks.

Wasn't sure which forum to post this in as it applies to *many* but figured I would give it a go here. Have read many posts looking for my exact answer to no avail, so here it goes. Backstory: Developed an FX algo that was trading on ninjatrader with a reasonable amount of success. Went...

Wow this is a good website, but looks like it was discontinued. Interesting topics discussed. Does anyone know what happened here? I've tried to contact before to no avail. 'Tis a shame.

Aside from the fact that this is likely a shill collecting email addresses ala good 'old doug allen, why does anyone have a problem with this offer? Management fee? On 300K? Please. There was no mention that you needed to reveal your strategy, just rather that you can produce the desired...

DBFX was bought out by Gain Capital (forex.com)

Yeah I was actually more interested in MaverickFX who seem to advertsing for prop traders. You don't need the 7 to do forex business, you need the series 3 & 34. So is this just another education scam but now for forex? It still says that you "buy in" to thr firm and get paid out on a k1...
