    Paul Tudor Jones Trading Rules

    If there is a charity you want let me know. If not we do work with a charity down here that rescues dogs (Siberian Huskies to be exact. We have 2 at our house). I will gladly donate the money to them in your name. Let me know.

    Paul Tudor Jones Trading Rules

    Quote from EPrado: Well you did not mention charity....just checking. Yes, if you win, your chosen charity will get $100 from me. If I win, you will make a $100 donation to my chosen charity. Thanks. Surf...

    Paul Tudor Jones Trading Rules

    Surf I am not going to get caught in the "Marketsurfer Vortex of Bullshit" on here. I have no idea why you act like such a loudmouth jackass on here, but are apparently a good guy outside of this site. There are some good guys on here and I think Baron does a good job with the place, so instead...

    Paul Tudor Jones Trading Rules

    Dear Surf, Someone is looking to get banned again I see. Please keep your bullshit out of the real threads on here. Hopefully Baron sees you are back to your old bullshit on here and either warns you or tosses you out of here yet again. Keep your "I am a failed trader so nobody else can succeed...

    Sorry man. Did not see you had posted this already. Thanks though. Can actually have a lot of decent posting in here about what he talks about.

    Paul Tudor Jones Trading Rules

    This is what separates the great traders from the ones that fail. This is why he has been in the trading game for what seems like forever. Great post. Do list # 5 is in my opinion huge. For me decreasing size when things aren't working saved my ass many times. When I first started trading I...

    Looking for Futures Trading Mentor

    Stay away from any mentors/gurus who charge you for their strategy/systems/monthly newsletters. There is a reason they are selling it.....because it's useless crap. If it were any good they would be keeping quiet, trading it for only themselves, and making plenty of money. Those trading rooms...

    Quit Corporate Job to become Options Trader Full-Time. Need Professional Advice.

    It sounds like you were doing pretty damn good trading. What caused you to stop ? You said the 200k was more than enough to cover your nut. I would guess that even if the girlfriend wanted more financially you had plenty to keep her happy (seeing how you had a million of your own money to trade...

    Something in the way I trade... annoys me.

    I don't know man. Looks like he put a bit of time into it. But if it is what you say then so be it. I posted my thoughts. If the guy is that lost as a trader hopefully he listens. If not was an entertaining post by him. Either way I said my thoughts. Am not going to get drawn into the 80 page...

    Something in the way I trade... annoys me.

    Dude, you are on the road to Blow Up City. Trading 400:1 leverage in FX with no stops is a recipe for complete obliteration of your account. To go from near margin calls to taking your account up 6 fold is a huge tell. You are way over trading in size and doing it probably during the most...

    Suretrader Broker..

    Get your money the hell out of there. There is a reason they are offshore. To avoid regulators. If you don't have the 30k to put in a retail account to comply with The PDT rule then take your 5k and go to one of the legitimate prop firms out there. There are plenty that will let you trade with...

    Quit Corporate Job to become Options Trader Full-Time. Need Professional Advice.

    Exactly. If he doesn't give it a shot he will be second guessing it for a long time. He is not starting with a big amount at all. Not like he borrowed 100k from a family member and is on the hook for it. He is not leaving a job he liked. Hell....he seemed to hate it. So not giving up anything...

    Quit Corporate Job to become Options Trader Full-Time. Need Professional Advice.

    I think it's great you are giving it a shot. You are young (I assume no wife/children) and probably don't have huge expenses each month. If you are ever going to give this a shot, now is the time. Not when you are 45 with 4 kids, mortgage, and big expenses each month. WORST case scenario is you...

    How safe are my funds with a (US) futures broker?

    I haven't traded equities in years. Whats the amount of day trades one can do a week with the PDT rule in effect? I thought it was like 3 or something. If you're being patient and can wait for the 2-3 set ups a week then it's a great idea. But I don't know what some peoples strategies are and...

    Victor Niederhoffer and Nassim Nicholas Taleb: A Quick Comparison

    I hear ya. It's kind of funny how VN's name gets brought up still today. He hasn't really been relevant for years. At one point sure he had some success. But that was a long long time ago. Since his 2nd blow up it's kind of like "Who cares" ? Funny though how someone called him one of the...

    As long as she didn't take the money she was paid and sell naked puts then yes.

    How safe are my funds with a (US) futures broker?

    I'm not gonna argue and say one is better than the other, but to trade an ETF someone is going to need a hell of a lot more than 500 bucks. Also going to have to trade odd-lots which can be a pain. Also for stocks they are going to run into the Pattern Day trader rules which basically prohibits...

    How safe are my funds with a (US) futures broker?

    What's your point ? We are talking about a futures brokerage, which INTERACTIVE BROKERS is. I didn't write that article.
