    Gertsman, the 25 yr old mutimillionaire trader nonpariel

    Some time ago I ran a thread on our young friend. If you read his old posts, you would think he's a novice. His hasn't posted lately, but I'm hoping this jars him loose. I am planning a book about him. As luck would have it (and actual knowledge equates with luck here), I have personal...

    Who makes the best traders?

    I'm not a quant, and I know this is of no help, but assuming one could make a fear/greed graph, the best traders are at the intersection. Leaving one's ego at the office door each morning is paramount. Of course, having NO ego will result in never making a dime.

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    Unfortunately, I am an EXTREME pussy when it comes to the IRS. I expense almost nothing. I do take trader status since I'm trading a retail account, but I'm so disorganized I usually fail to save receipts. In addition, since the past three years have seen my personal exemption wiped out and my...

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    I am also shilling for our two full-size vending machines, despite only having three traders. I need the extra 10 cents we make per can (7 cents per candy bar), so feel free to stop by. What's funny is that others in the building use our machines, then ask what we do. They can't seem to...

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    What, you say , "Impossible!" Think again. I have sold my home for $602,500, netting a measly (measley?) $32,000 after expenses and upgrades. In the interest of fairness, this will not be included in my P&L; however, be forewarned that unusual trades may be included in the future...

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    Since I am now a shill, I will chronicle my daily P&L. But, the twist is that I will also chronicle what I do with the money. Since I made a profit today, I'll call this Day 1. June 20th. Net Profit: Approximately $5,000. From what? Dream on, pal. YTD only $65,000, ex-interest and...

    Cutting losses is for losers

    The thing to do with losers is to have enough capital that whatever position you have, it doesn't really bother you. Then, start adding to your position until the stock goes your way. It's called "averaging down" when the stock goes to zero.

    Pairs Trading Strategy Model

    I don't understand what these companies have in common that makes it appropriate to trade them as pairs. I mean, I see the charts, but I'm wondering how long the strategy has worked for you, whether you use leverage,etc.

    Andover/Assent Vegas Office now open

    To be honest, I posted the opening of the office because we'd love to have some new traders. However, the fact is that we can cover our costs with just the few people with which we started. Everyone in the office earned over $200k last year. It's a great learning experience for someone...
