    New Trader with a basic question

    Yeah, I just thinking about projecting about what I'd do now, not based on the future. Then re-evaluate what I'd do with the trends change. What I gave was an example, it doesn't have to be a week and could be any finite length of time. Thanks.

    Where did you get this picture? I wonder what each of the curves are. Thanks.

    How about JP Morgan? It was going down for a while. Finally up today.

    New Trader with a basic question

    Is there any stochastic formulas estimating the probability of where the stock will go over x amount of time? ie: if a stock has been going down over the past week, what is the probability it continues to go down tomorrow with no additional information.

    No and I did not know that these facilities even existed on campus. I have to admit that I'm absolutely shocked. I'm going to look into the one at Fairfield. Thanks.

    I take things with a grain of salt on these online forums. I appreciate the advice people give me, though I give more credit to people who tell me their backgrounds. If nothing else, people get some ideas flowing through my brain. I then do further research on what people are saying. However, I...

    I'm not Jane Street or bust, but I don't want to pay $10,000 to get screwed either. I'm looking on Linkedin and see that some people at Jane Street didn't go to top schools, although clearly most of them did. I also see a lot of people who went to UConn working at what looks to be some of the...

    I just looked up Bright Trading. They want $10,000. That's not what I'm looking for. I want a company who will invest in their employees, not have their employees invest in them. A company that invests in their employees shows me that they truly believe that they create winning traders. A...

    Thanks. I downloaded Ninja Trader, but it doesn't provide the real time data. They recommend Kinetic, but it's not free. ACD is really expensive. I guess I won't be able to find real time data for free? Does your CL data work with Ninja Trader?

    I don't know who this Murray is. But Googling I found Brean Murray, Carret, & Co, LLC in NYC. That might be an opportunity.

    Because I live in southwestern CT. I don't think I'll be able to afford rent. I get the impression that the vast majority of opportunities are in NYC or Chicago.

    Advancements in the internet have helped my generation a lot. It's a lot easier for us to find out information, how companies interview, what we need to learn, etc. If I were 22 in 1992 I probably wouldn't even know about prop firms. I might not have even known about them in 2002.

    Thanks. I'll look into Chimera. I was interested in FNYS, but the word on Wall Street Oasis is that they are going under. I don't know if anybody here could verify that.

    I gave up the idea of playing poker professionally like freshman year of college. I only posted, why trading over becoming a pro poker player, because I figured the question might come up. I could have made money by playing the lower limits. I was more concerned about improving. Poker is a game...

    I didn't keep track. I didn't consider it income. I just kept trying to move up as fast as possible, because I liked the challenge of playing good players. I cashed out sometimes and went broke most of the time after moving up so in the end I didn't win or lose a whole lot. My guess would be...

    Yes, but it takes a lot of work and dedication just like trading. However, it's now really tough for US players to make a living online since the government forced the largest sites to close. I prefer playing online to live. Live poker moves too slow for me and I think I give off a lot of tells.

    You're not. I agree with you. I have to convince the firms that I have talent and I'm worth taking a risk on. It's a tough task.

    I appreciate everybody's replies. A little bit more about myself: - I have a good, but not great GPA (3.64) as an undergrad, my graduate GPA is 3.85 - I am competitive, when I play something I want to win really badly. However, I was not a student athlete. - I see some companies like...
