Yep, I have no desire telling people I play poker for a living. I would try to avoid the topic as often as possible. It would also make it more difficult in keeping a girlfriend cause they tend to like stability and most would think I'm a degen. Also true about keeping my eyes on the...

On your first point, this is what is brought up on all the poker forums. If you can be very good at poker, then generally you can be very good at something else. It's a matter of motivation and intelligence. In trading, there is more money to be made. I don't want to make the point that...

The problem with this is that I think it would take alot more hours of learning trading compared to what I did in poker to come out with the same hourly rate. I think there is a steeper learning curve in trading than in poker. Maybe I am wrong as the Turtle traders only had 2 weeks of training...

I also have an interview coming up with them and I haven't been able to find any info regarding the type of questions. Any info would be appreciated.

Can you guys give me any info on them? I have an interview in a week and can't find anything other than what's on their website other than the fact that they do offer a base pay plus bonus. http://blackdiamondfutures.com/

I've been looking for this data and haven't had any luck oustide of OpenTick and CME, which charge ridiculous prices (10K+). In particular, the level 2 (Depth of Market) data that is organized as a feed (table) where each entry (row) describes either a new order, cancelation, replacement or...
