Are you going to take it in Sept.?

Yep which is why I am looking to learn some othermarkets. Maybe I'll trade new markets maybe not. Just want to explore what else is out there.

about signing up for the Level 1 exam. I want to get out of trading and into something more productive (for me). I was thinking I could use the CAIA exam as a segway into some type of alternative investments consultant or risk management profession. As I have been traing for 7 years I...

I understand the character issue aspect and the desire for personal reasons to want to fix it. However, I want to move on and do something else. I hope I am not throwing away what I had done the past 7 years, I hope that I can use it and learn and transfer what I have learned into some other...

It was about ego. I was looking at some of my old sheets and I wasn't making what I used to, so I decided to increase size and holding period. However, I did not define my risk parameters when I changed what I was doing. Got into a downward spiral and became paralyzed. Couldn't get out of...

Thanks, I'll do some reading on the different futures markets.

Thanks. I'll read the links.

Where/how do you trade these products?

You are right I did not manage my risk effectively as I tried to change strategies. I have learned a very expensive lesson. That being said, I have been very effective at managing risk for the past 6-7 years. What I am really looking for is more knowledge in the markets outside of...

I think the term "can't make it" is very subjective. There have been times that I have been very successful with equities and times that I can't seem to do anything right. I know the markets are always changing and one must adapt their style in order to continue to thrive. I have made some...

Good question. My thought is that all instruments trade differently, I am burned out on equities, my head is just not into it. I am not saying that I will jump in and start trading some other instrument, I am just looking for ideas and experiences that others have had.

I have traded for seven years with different levels of profitability over the time period. There has been some good years but the last year has been very difficult for me. I have only traded equities, occasionally options. I am done with equities, I have lost too much money this year by...

What is it you intend todo with the CAIA designation? What kind of job can you get with it or how will it help your trading?

I am keeping the word "daytrading" off of the resume completely. I am just wondering what phrases or activities I can "create" that can make what I do a little more appealing.

Thanks, a couple of good ideas. The hard part is getting the resume past the gatekeeper. I have not networked enough so I do not have very many contacts to get me in the door. I have confidence in my ability in an interview, it is just the resume and painting the past 7 years in a...

I am looking for a little help here. I have been trading for the past 7 years and I am ready for a job change. My profitability has significantly diminished over the last couple of years and I have become burned out on the daily grind of daytrading. Over the past 5 1/2 years I have traded...

Understand what a limit order is. You did not enter an order to sell at 25.45, yo entered an order to sell at 25.45 or better. Plus you used cyberexchange which gives the software the descretion to seek out a best price. If you wanted to sell at 25.45 you should have switched your order...

Who are they? can anyone exectue through them. I can not.
