This guy is just an internet troll at this point. Anyone who disbelieves extraordinary and outrageous claims provided without evidence is a retard? Okay sure thing buddy. Have fun with your trolling, I'm out of this thread.

I'm fully convinced he is full of shit, but if he can trade ES with even 10 sharpe (never mind 120) then 900K is chump change. Why would he spend 40+ hours a week to make some change that he doesn't need. Time is more valuable than money to a rich person.

900K job offer is unlikely but infinitely more plausible than a 120 sharpe ratio. Nothing that you say makes any sense. If you were as good of a trader as you claim, taking any salaried job would just be a waste of your time.

Let's recap here This guy is such a genius that he never has losing days His annualized sharpe ratio is above 120 (4k/500*sqrt(252)) only trading ES on IB which might make him the greatest trader that ever lived It is "Really, really hard" for him to lose money in this market He is not...

Guy claims to have an equity curve that looks like a perfect 45° line, and wow, *surprise* he's not interested in providing anyone any proof of this extraordinary claim. That totally wasn't predictable at all!

I see you are using IB from your little screenshot so that answers my earlier question, you aren't doing HFT. So.. wow. You seriously expect people to believe that you have effectively no losing days? Even top tier HFT firms that trade thousands of instruments can scarcely achieve this, and you...

This is what your equity curve looks like with a daily mean of $4K and stddev of $500:

I'm guessing you don't understand how to compute daily standard deviation properly or don't know what it means. Either that or you are full of shit, because the chances of you having a sharpe over 120 are about the same chances as me being the queen of England.

Wait a minute. Your average return is $4k and stddev is $500? That doesn't sound very plausible. Even that was a typo for $5000 I don't know if I would believe you. Are you doing HFT?

So you're making a million per year? Congrats! How long you been trading this strat? What is your sharpe ratio?

It is just very difficult to make $10M, full stop. If you can do it in trading, you're probably more likely to do it in something else than an average person because the that kind of talent tends to be at least partially transferrable. Personally I like the idea of getting into venture capital...

username checks out.

Quite a few votes for $10M+ Maybe I lack imagination but what can you actually do with $10M per year of income? Other than leave trading and use it to start up some other activity.

I think you could use a bit more humility to go with your "top ethical and moral values". Lots of good, moral people out there who just do 40h/week or the minimum that they have to... to say that you have not the slightest respect for them makes you sound conceited, narrow minded, out of touch...

By the way it's telling that this campaign is coming from ProShares. They are worried about their bottom line if every Tom, Dick and Harry can't trade their shitty ETNs and levered products on a whim.

Requiring people to have a basic understanding a financial instrument before they can begin trading it, sounds pretty reasonable to me. Calling this "radical and unprecedented" is extremely hyperbolic. AFAIK even robinhood requires education before options trading can be enabled. Requiring...

You are correct. If you do this it needs to be a standard loan with a fixed interest rate. A ""loan"" that has any terms tied to investment performance would be fund management /investment business.

You know companies can just take loans right? Find some rich people and have them write a loan to the company. Anything publically tradable (shares, bonds, etf) makes basically no sense... these are secondary markets. You can't just raise capital by clicking a button to sell on the public...

Op is an independent trader, not a fund manager. These are two different career paths that have little in common and it's rare to switch between them. Track record in one does not translate to the other (usually). This is because the strategies employed are completely different in scale and...

Good luck, you're gonna need it.
