Pardon me if my thoughts get off base sometimes: First of all, I used to think that there would be times that I would say "Wow, I made it" which there have been, but everytime I got there, there were new goals and challenges. Which is great!. My last job was working as a parking garage...

Always the sign of a good trade.....

Man do I hate that word.

The Electronic Day Trader - The Broadway trading crew. The Art of Electronic Futures Trading - Green I am wondering if Art Collins is reading and what his pick is.

Art, I might deal with a shorter time frame then yourself, but I disagree with you to a point. I have spent the last six years scalping interest rate futures and believe that there are actually three (3) different stances toward the market. Buy, sell, and wait. It has helped me get rid...

I wouldn't call $100 million nothing. Capital is always capital. Haven't you heard sKaLpz: How do you make a small fortune in trading? Start with a large one.

Totally. His "eighth inning" comment was his first time on TV. The Fed came out 1/2 hour after his comments and basically reversed them. Greenie sent the goon squad for sure.

ITG/DE Trading in Chicago.

Whatever you want.

Some prop firms have analysts to work squack box during the day. We have 2. They watch the headlines and present some opinions. They get paid a salary and sometimes put small positions on. You could certainly stay in tune with the markets while gradually getting back into things. I don't...

I have had a very positive experience at my prop shop. Have been there for 6 years. No fees except for TT software fees. Other then that, none. No desk fees, no CQG fees, no connectivity fees. Of course they recruit a little harder and are looking for a bigger commitment, but they are not...

When I was first trading small size, I had no idea what markets did. Through lots of trades and mistakes with small size you learn what to look for. As I got my size bumped up in the markets, I became more aware of what trades you wanted to put on because: 1) You could now lose more. 2)...

Biggest perceived loss.........Newbie to the trading world (less than 1 year). When the German Schatz disappeared and the next market that came up was 7.5 (750 pts) handles higher (1999 or 2000). Right before that happened, short 100 and clicked to get out 4 tics higher. System was frozen...

After 6 years: Best Day......... +189K - Reintroducing 30 year. Worst Day.......... -250K - Resting order during January '05 unemloyment. Short 286 10 year and a handle in my face.

how much capital?

I really think we're headed nowhere for a little while longer. Even though Greensham declared war on the housing market, we are coming up with record highs in new home sales. The Fed can't decide if oil is inflationary or a growth hindrance, and we still can't go down on Katrina or London...

NICE :D
