    One of the World's Most Successful Hedge Funds is Facing an Employee Rebellion Over Donald Trump

    David Magerman would have the same problems at AQR as with his current boss.There is 28 principals there listed on their website.They would put him through meat grinder there and spit him out only for his knowledge and nothing else. Doubtful he would get any respect there. Second thing of an...

    Is it okay to use forex signal services?

    Look through his trades and see what he does. Does not look like a real deal to me. Also website reporting seems messed up a little,but maybe you need to be logged in to see,i don't know I looked at British American Tobacco as an example https://www.investing.com/members/71983/sentiments-equities

    One of the World's Most Successful Hedge Funds is Facing an Employee Rebellion Over Donald Trump

    This guy does not follow norms and this is evident in his behavior.He works for Rentec since June of 1995 which leads me to suspect that he played part in creating strategies that Medallion is trading.He did take a sabbatical and they took him back and let him work from home. No point in arguing...

    What books will you recommend to a starting trader?

    I went through the same thing,read every book and later I even burned out and took a year off and something pushed me to come back and try again. Only then I started to think individually and try random ideas or what suggestion i came up with in my spare time,because away from work all I did was...

    TopstepTrader Q & A

    I was hoping for your answer to Birzos posts on page 5,he states his opinion with numbers.It clicked to me that you went on two pages of long posts and no answer. Of course you don't have to answer,but please two of you unlike my earlier post on this thread. I did not come here to high five anybody.

    TopstepTrader Q & A

    It seems to me that two of you are talking to each other to accumulate new pages. Birzos in his posts on page 5 had some legit issues brought up,but you two seem to high five each other and carry on. Disclaimer:I never had anything to do with Topsteptrader or contacted them for any reason.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    There is no quick solution to all this,takes years and years before anybody builds robust strategy.Only few progress to this stage and they are not talking. Why does it work?The math,but the idea has to come first,math proves it later.

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    There is some truth to it. I read nearly 80 books on trading,took one year off from work and studied price movements and indicators and put some money around 4K to trade to see what suggestions i will get from live trading after all I read.Also studied game theory,roulette results etc and i...

    Fundseeder. Opinions? Useful/Not. Risk?

    Fully mechanical trading system that makes money month after month is rare. It is even more rare for Joe Sixpack like me to come up with it.Since it took me nearly 10 years to find it and a lot of effort i will be very careful how i go about it. This whole trading thing is really survivor of the...

    which way to turn...

    This is why i got interest in this field of trading.Way back in mid to late 90s i met few of those guys and they did not impress me.Yes they were intelligent,but my thought was they don't add value,must be often wrong just like everybody else.Seriously this is why i got interest in this,i...

    Thank you for taking time to reply.You give me not only professional view but also what professional would answer to me,simply send me on a way home. I could trade in prop shop in London,i know people who would give me this opportunity,i am not going to take their offer.I like to be like Don...
