    How much does win loss ratio matter?

    Long time ago, when I first started trading, I was focused on being right/winning. I wanted to win all the time. I tried to have a high win loss ratio. I wanted an A in trading like in school where if you get something like 94% of the questions right, you get an A and teachers and parents...

    Did you ever share your profitable trading plan/method/system/edge?

    I am noticing meetups where people are supposed to convene and share trading ideas and strategies that are profitable. This got me thinking. Who goes to these meetups and do they really share their profitable strategies? So, here is a question for you guys and gals. Have you ever...

    How did you come across your edge? Accident? Refinement of an idea? Taught?

    Got most of my edge at WorldCo. A hot russian chick recruited me along with an ex-trader from Goldman and an ex-Nasdaq market maker. Before that I was a lost trader. Spent thousands of dollars on books, software, data services, and trading/investing advisory websites. Learned the...

    Would this work

    If the new inexperienced traders you hire don't trade the in-house automated systems, do they trade manually? Also, how would they know how to trade? Almost every quasi-prop firm that I have been around has a method/system of trading which are all geared to generating maximum amount of...

    Would this work

    Interesting prop business model if you are for real. I like the deal b/c you actually invest in the trader unlike most chop-shops. So your firm will be in between a real prop firm and a chop-shop, if you will. Since you actually pay/invest in the trader, you might not suffer the revolving...

    Where can I find Prop Firms that employ and invest in/pay their traders

    I knew a bond trading prop firm that covered transportation and food expenses. I am looking for an equity prop firm that does the same. A small stipend/salary would be nice but don't expect it. The reason why I am looking for this type of firm is b/c I feel that I am bearing all the risk...
