    Could you quantify that, or is that merely your opinion....I happen to know otherwise.

    Victor Niederhoffer in Vogue Magazine??

    What's the biggest hit you've ever taken in a day? Do you trade 2000 cars at a whack? You only wish that you had the stones to even step up to the plate instead you waste the time of others making 10,000 posts to this forum. Everyone here might give Vic a hard time, but he still puts out a...

    Victor Niederhoffer in Vogue Magazine??

    As a frequent contributor to his blog,I find many market lessons contained within. The trouble on ET is that most people who criticize Victor are just jealous of his run. in fact, probably most of the people who offer their two cents are less than profitable...kind of like the pot calling the...

    Confessions of a successful trader

    Somehow, I've managed to stay in the game full time for 30 years. I haven't figured that one out yet with all of the ups and downs. I concentrate on the grains, and leave everything else alone. So far it has worked for me, but then again......you're only as good as your last trade.

    Richard Dennis and Turtles In Chicago Tuesday

    Who, specifically? Why can't you make a living trading with a wife and 3 kids? I support 13 people with my trading, and it doesn't bother me too much? Perhaps your self doubt is too much, or you lack confidence in your abilities......

    Richard Dennis and Turtles In Chicago Tuesday

    Jem, With 5200 posts under your belt, how much time do you devote to trading and what does your P&L look like? Is trading your sole means of support or do you have a primary job at 7/11 and you spend most of your time here criticizing your betters? It's easy to criticize people who have...

    Richard Dennis and Turtles In Chicago Tuesday

    No matter what you think of Niederhoffer, he's a stand up guy who has balls the size of lampshades. He's also one of the smartest guys on the planet. It's easy for you one lot guys to criticize Vic, but until you've walked a mile in his shoes, it would serve you well to keep your mouth shut...

    Newbie Question

    I use Bloomberg and have direct access to the exchanges. However, I was asked a question by a friend that I would put out for y'all to ponder as it's something I can's answer. My buddy is starting out and needs quotes, a broker, and a system. He only has $25,000 to start out with and wants...

    Has anyone lost their edge/system b/c too many people knew?

    I have a personal blog with a decent number of readers, but absolutely refuse to give anything away. I might discuss everything about trading, but will not give trades, my systems, patterns, etc away. One reader, who claimed to be a successful daytrader, got pissed off at me when I mentioned...

    Trading T-Shirts

    Which brings up the question of why one would need to solidify their status of being a "Trader" by wearing a t-shirt? Who cares about what others think. One might revisit Ayn Rand and her concept of second hand people, or second handers as she refers to them as. It's an ugly trap when one...

    Funny ET members can't agree on whether there will be inflation or deflation ...

    The whole existence of markets is predicated by a difference of opinion between individuals. Jeff

    How do you tell people your an E-Mini trader?

    If you've never lost money trading the e-mini then you are probably just trading on paper, or you are very new and have only made one or two trades. The S&P can fool anyone, it's only in hindsight that a few sagacious posters at ET claim to have nailed the market.

    A mini-Madoff in the making?

    It's funny that I live in Sarasota and have a nodding acquaintance with him. A little too slick for me, but he had the public thinking he had the holy grail.
