The lottery is a tax on the mathematically incompetent. - Neil deGrasse Tyson There must be a similar quote which relates to trading... Maybe something like "Unskilled traders are necessary for skilled traders to succeed, but every skilled trader was unskilled in the beginning"...

Many years, but it doesn't need to take that long. I was stubborn and wanted to figure it out, and then I gave in and started asking questions everywhere. But I can't talk much about it, since it was developed after talking quite a bit via PM between myself and a popular member of this forum...

I know guys who are done trading by "9 AM Chicago time". And they are trading stocks, and they are doing very well. I like to go until 11:00 central or so. Then I'm done. (Stock trading. Tried futures. Impossibly boring for me.) The first 15 minutes are the best, but I have a strategy...

Did you view the online classes from knopman?

Sounds like you want more of a buddy to trade with. That's fine. If you want an actual business partner, you are getting yourself too deep at a young age. Trust me. Been there, done that. Stay independent at any cost. And thanks for bringing back memories of the 2 nightmare trading...

yes.

Buying a strong stock on a pullback used to be very difficult for me. I used to be one of those guys who thought the trend was reversing, so I'd get short. Now I'm buying from those guys and just riding the wave. It also helped to have a systematic method for finding an entry point, since...

There was another thread on this board about the 57, and it sounds like the Knopman materials are the best. I am studying for it as well, since my 7 expired, and I am getting back into the prop game. But I have no deadline, and I am just taking my time. The practice exams are always easier...

Did you see this? https://www.sec.gov/litigation/litreleases/2017/lr23740.htm This was after a very quick search on sec.gov, just out of my own curiosity. Looks like it is slowly getting resolved, but I would still worry. I haven't looked for their financial strength yet.

I actually agree with is if you know for a fact the animal is going to die soon. A friend of mine spent over 4 thousand bucks keeping his little best friend alive, and he admitted later it was for his own feelings, and not for the dog. It died during the treatment period, and suffered in the...

Hard to watch tv when they are a year old and in the living room with you.

Well that was easy. Thanks!

I just saw this thread and I love it. One of my favorite workouts is Angie from Crossfit. 100 pushups, 100 airsquats, 100 situps and 100 pullups for time. I sucked when I did it many years ago, and I was in pretty good shape. But I love the idea of timed bodyweight workout challenges, and it...

I bet you're in your 20's or 30's. Try answering again when you're pushing 50. Your incredibly immature perspective will change over time. Mine did.

Is it possible to follow the "Prop Firms" category so I get notified via email whenever a new thread is created?

I didn't read the entire thread, so this may have already been brought up. I'm a believer in consistent income when it comes to daytrading. But when it comes to big money, I believe the occasional huge winner will make you rich. And you never know which trade is going to run and run and run...

Tell that guy he used to scare the hell out of every Packer fan on earth when we kicked to him while he was playing for the Bears. What an incredible athlete.

I first heard of Mark Sisson when he was on Joe Rogan's podcast. He is incredibly smart. And his plan is very appealing to a guy like me who's pushing 50.

Good point about the opportunity cost. But she's in college and just wants to do it part time. Although I told her she would need to schedule her classes so she is at her desk for at least the first hour of the trading day. I think trading for an hour or 2 in the afternoon is just a complete...

Thanks Mav. I was hoping to here from you. You basically confirmed my thoughts. I was surprised THT was doing what it was doing after a firm like Echotrade went down in 2013, so i figured anything similar might not even exist anymore. And since you are the second person suggesting the...
