Best bet is to be a recent graduate of an Ivy school.
It's all they look at.
They don't hire people with experience.
If I run into the guy I know from there, may have some more info for you later this week.

You go buddy!:) , But I would advise get a job after mkt hours, so you DO NOT HAVE TO RELY ON MARKET PROFITS TO PAY YOUR WAY THRU THIS PERIOD/and/or/LIFE.
It will help tremendously.
Now go do it!

I agree. I also think you have to have a certain hunger for it.
I "think" the better traders have done "what they don't like" for quite some time, and succeed at trading because of it.
I also think that people become traders because of the "cool" lifestyle, until they realize it's more...
Speculation is observation. Period.
No Ivy degrees required.
Go to the bar's by the NY Merc at 3:30 and watch the characters that come in.
Usually Oil traders. All Loaded. And all look like extra's from Goodfellas.
I personally know a guy who trades oil..makes 7-10K per...
You still have not posted of your charmed and amazing view of Ivory Tower life...How is it? Hope it is full of Amazing IVY experience. I am curious?
Can us shitheads be saved? We are all worried about our semi-downard existance. Unless YOU show us how it's done.
Please. Show us the way!
You know, I love a good fire fight! And I know I will get one from this petty SOB.
Mr Coupons..tell us what you really think.
I never claimed to be perfect (made alot; lost alot); tell us about your charmed life?

My strategy involves lotsa work; but trust me friend; been broke more times than care to admit.
Just saying " make hay whilst the sun shines" , and advice to GG is to stop trading!
My sense, is that YOU are the guy who brings the calculator to a dinner party.
Good luck dealing with...
House: paid for by trading.
7K of watches: paid for by trading.
Living room/Roof/New Boiler/etc: paid for by trading.
2 cars: paid for by trading.
All I DID was believe I could do it
Tell me master, what else is there?
Sorry Vulture,,did not see your reply within my own!
But that said , these TH bash threads are getting old.
Come on, in yer own words..who gives a shit if he's cutsey OR WRONG; it's a lousy $79 bux a year!
And I am not over-reacting; just tired of seeing a good trader (gone wrong...
3rd TH thread, basically bashing him again. What are you people looking for? Jim Jones?
The friggin site costs $6.50 per month. I do not think he is interested in giving advice, but prefers educating.
So the guy's been wrong for 3 months, I am a subscriber, and frankly hasn't cost me a...
Yes by 9:50. Sold off 4 points intraday, then traded down to 120.5, subsequently, which was a 2.0 STDV entry long side, went to 124 even in about 11 minutes!

That's STDV/Volatilty from mean trading. I use it daily in trading.
Best trade of the year was SS MMM @ 137, was almost a 3.0 STDV, meaning spends 2% of the time at that price relative to mean price past 20 days.
2.0/3.0 STDV are money trades.
