Hello everyone, I would very much appreciate advice on my career path. Currently I'm pursuing a research career in artificial intelligence and at the same time am very interested in trading & financial markets. I will finish my master or PhD in 1.5 or ~5 years. I will be 27 or ~30 years...

I just leafed through the whole thread and I must admit I'm rather disappointed. There are hardly any arguments given for either side (long, short, flat), nor is there any deeper analysis of the situation. Most of the time when a product is announced it is a good sign for histeria, e.g...

You can't be serious. The documentation is rubbish.

Hmm, you're right. Thx for the response. I'll go with the options then.

This is my Future Trading Journal. I have a small account with ~4200$ and will start trading appropriate Equity Index Futures from tommorow on. I intend to post my trades live in this thread. At the moment I'm going to stick with YM and QQQQ. That's all for now.

I have read the book several times. Still there are several things I don't understand How do you define a base then? Then there is the base-upon-base pattern. How does this pattern go along with the 3rd base BO?

But why the third not the 5th or 10th? Another magic number.

Ok, I see. But why is the 3rd base not the 5-th. Is this standard EW-Theory?

I'm starting out with canslim and have a question. What about a stock which has moved 200%-300% already. When is it to late to buy?

My background is one year of IT Consulting / Development and a B.Sc. in IT. What are the alternatives? - start a company - start a fund - sell automated products/services Starting from zero and looking for capital seems even harder. I would be very happy about any suggestions...

There is certainly a market, but it is small. I had an interview for a position recently. The job was to write programs that make money on a seperate account.

Funnily enough, most of the smaller props are located in Köln. Sal Oppenheim is currently hiring.

No one?

I'm having an interview next week for a position in the area of algorithmic trading. Does anyone have some more pointers?

Oh. No, not really. Which Exchange is that? Perhaps the Bremer Woolexchange has more action.

Hi, is it a good idea to trade wool spreads? Broad wool is very much in tune with fine wool since the end of 2001. To me it seems fine Wool has a long way to go vs. broad wool. Is there a fundamental reasoning behind this? How can I structure a broad/fine spread bet?

I got the same offer. What do you think? It very much depends on the capital you get, doesn't it?

Err, why not do a out-of-sample test instead of papertrading?

Would it help if I bring some money in?

update: I'm going for a prop trader job. Had an interview for a broker position, but I would hate it. What kind of firms can I go for? I'm looking for some companies from 2nd or 3rd row and build from there.
