I guess I jumped the gun and summed up 100% of the world. I apologize. Money can buy anything 99% of the people on the planet want. Those with excess amounts of money have a tendency to seek other things... love... truth... genuine beauty. But the majority of the world.... those living in...

People respect SUCCESSFUL traders. As people also respect SUCCESSFUL gamblers. Ask anyone. If you could be a professional gambler, bringing in 200k+ each year, living at posh hotels all the time... would you? I dunno about your friends or family, but everyone I know would go for it...

Perhaps you should consider getting a M.S. in Math from a good school. I think more hedge funds and institutions would be more attracted to such a degree. xbrxx

Drect, Just curious... Have you ever traded? If so... what? futures... options.. equities? And did u make any money? And why do u want to? As for the last question... it is a pretty difficult question. What do u consider good? A trader pulling 50k a year? consistently for the past 10...

Learn from the practice tests. Make sure u read whatever book u get tho... I used STC... passed it easily. I think I studied... a full 3-4 days. 80%. 1 shot. 250 questions in 6 hours is plenty. I finished the whole thing in about 3 hours. 1:15 for the first half... 30 minute break...

Damir, If you were actually making good money, why would u bother wanting to prove and waste your time posting trades real time? Aren't you taking away from managing your trades while you waste your time chatting? I personally believe money management and the exit are more important...

If you think you can get 30% average a year.... for 20+ years... prepare to be on the cover of every financial periodical alive. Investors will be throwing money at you. Probably even me included! I will be the first person to tell you... you WILL NOT average 30% a year for 20 years +. Lets...

Why do u want to start a hedge fund for? If you think you got the skills, why not continue what u are doing? 300k in 16 months... why consider anything else? I mean, how much did u expect to get paid as a hedge fund manager? Lets say you get some investor that willing to put 1 million in...

If your afraid your firm is trying to get you to churn, goto a firm that charges a Seat Fee, or a Office Fee, whatever. 300 bucks a month and it'll shut up those managers breathing down your neck. I've spoken to several branch managers of variety of firms and those that charge seat fees don't...

Things must have changed a lot since I went there. I should probably drop on by and take a look again. But last time I was there, it was pretty sad.

I've never traded at GreenTree Trading so cannot comment upon their services. I did however have the opportunity to check out their S.F. office a few months ago. Lets just say, it isn't the nicest prop trading floor out there, or should I say, trading roomsss. It was a small office space with...

Bones, Options is clearly the most easiest part of the section. You can learn a whole lot more about options from like CBOE.com, than from any of those studying materials. People have a hard time with options because they don't grasp the concept of contracts, put, calls, out of the money...

Just recently took the Series 7 a 2-3 weeks ago. Studied a total of 4 full days. Passed with 80%. Pretty easy. A lot of useless information to be learned. Just know your options and municipal securities, and your 50% done.

Stuckey, I have a couple of questions for you. Have you ever traded in the past? Are you just looking to persue a career in trading? If you haven't ever traded, why do u want to get into trading, especially through a prop firm? I'm in a similar situation as you are now. Except that I...

Hrmm, sounds interesting. How old is the motorhome? Can u give more details on it besides the trading system? Might know someone interested.

Gordon Gekko, not to say that your career in trading should end or anything, but sometimes in life you gotta let go. I mean, if you think you got the skills to succeed after getting more cash, then go for it. If you make it then great! But if u go down the tubes again, rethink if your made...

Thank you for your guys responses. I guess i was pretty much rushing to get back trading. I will definitely now check out these other firms and see what they have to offer. Thanks again xbrxx

I've been trading on and off for about 4 years now. The reason why I haven't been able to trade consistently full time is because I was finishing my degree and working full time to save up some dough. Anyways, I recently just graduated, and stowed enough money to pursue trading full time. I...
