Reiterating...Thailand is sweet!!!

BNB, look how you posted your trades. How can anyone understand them? That's pretty sloppy man. You should be scrutinizing every trade you take and analyzing them over and over. You should be able to post your p/l breakdown with a log of every trade, reasons, whether you stuck to your rules...

Fearless, vist the lonelyplanet.com web site or go to the bookstore and pick up their travel guide. You find everything you need there.

It will be interesting to know the outcome of this thread. Having done a 12 month world tour myself, I can only say it's the best time you will ever have. It's like putting 10 years of your life into one. Everyday, you are seeing things you never saw, talking to people you have never seen...

YT, Check frequently what the big boys of trading are asking...Check with GS, Merril, UBS, JPM to see what kind of people they are hiring, then taylor your studies accordingly... Comp science is hard work and your fun time will be greatly reduced but it's a pretty complete degree that can...

Don't you guys love those auto bids stepping up 1ms after you uptick. Sure money in the bank....

Uruguay is as you said very underrated. It's a boring country but it's quiet, safe, low key and Punta del Este is like the Miami Beach of the US. Fun living for a fraction of the cost. That's where I'd live in Uruguay. Montevideo is just 2 hours away...

I wouldn't be too concerned about your speed. I am a scalper and trade from Brazil. My down speed is just 1mb and my up is only 0.1mb. As pathetic as it may sound, I hardly get any slippage trading listed stocks. What really matters is your ping time to your order server. I get about 190ms avg...

Yeah, but these type of people are everywhere bro...

Ah, that's because you haven't been to Thailand.... Food is outrageously good and healthy. Scenery...no comments here...spectacular beaches, mountains, waterfalls. Women...those tiny little things...they look like dolls. Cost of living...you pay your food with change...everything is...

Yannis, SD makes good points about joining a prop company. I am a scalper so commission costs and leverage are very important hence going prop and staying prop is important not to mention the one on one training I got which was priceless. If you don't do volume and you can pull a nice living...

I trade prop at hold and the secret in any shop is to get under a good group. Hold is a solid prop shop but if the group they put you under is worthless, then you'll be in a tough spot. I didn't call hold when I started, I met the head trader of a group in fact in this web site and he invited me...

Please tell us the name of your shop to make sure no one ever goes there. Rape is an understatement here.

As you can already notice, you will read a lot of criticism about you here. It's going to be a tough thread to read but accepting criticism is important. Many people here start similar thread but after they get demolished, they tell the moderators to close the thread. It's a classic sign of a...

I have read Market Wizards a couple of times and some of those guys were in huge trouble before they made it back. Perhaps someone could write a book about guys who just blew it and never came back...Market blowups...The New Market Blowups...and so forth... It would be a depressing read...

If you want to build a constructive thread and help people who are actually going through the exact same process you went through, why don't you tell us why you think you failed. You took responsibility for your failure so tell us why/what you did wrong so others can comment and decide for...

Yeah but don't forget, markets go through many phases so in the beginning you might be profitable because the markets are going your way but later when the market changes, your p/l might change as well. If you can be consistent through all phases, then you are good to go.

Background? Analytical skills is only a tenth of what's needed. He has no background. An engineering background means very little. Also, $1000 for training is dirt cheap and worth it because when you read books and try to learn on your own, no one is there to make sure you are doing it...

Go all in but before you do so, get a taste of trading while you still have a job, then if you think you have the built, give up your job and trade. Don't try to learn it entirely by yourself. Find what you want to trade. Is it options/futures/equities/commodities then find your...
