    Stop losses. Are they the tools of winners or losers?

    Not trying to start an arguement, but what exactly is noobish about that approach? He said that they have hard stops in all their shorts, but in oil futures, they were willing to avg down because they are getting a better price. If their risk is managed properly (as in oil could go to zero...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    You don't know "my story", you only know what I've posted. Also, u don't seem to have any advice or know anything, u just like to talk shit. My account doesn't=my deposit, it came from the market, it's low because I have to take out money to live, and haven't been able to make anything in...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Thanks for your advice. The reason I'm leaving is cause I'm out of money (money to live on), and my account is devestated. So I was looking to go to a firm that will back me, which will obviously be difficult, if possible at all. That was the point of the thread, to see if anyone had advice...

    Taking proprietary strategies from discretionary to systematic......

    OP you could just partner up with a programmer. Give him a cut, when things go wrong he will be all over it... Also, is there a site where I can read up on this TT Autotrader? I know nothing about programming but I'm alright with excel.

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Hilo and l2, I appreciate your input, but I'm not saying I should get any of that because I'm special; that is THEIR TRAINING program. Someone is going to get that deal. Maybe I'll just edit the pnl a little... PPT you sound like a new trader, talking about who you wouldn't hire, shut up...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Whoa... easy there a**hole, Their own website (FNY), says they take people 3.0 avg, and makes no mention of ivy league institutions. I know that's what they look for, but how is taking in a total noob more risky than taking me, regardless of where they graduated from? You obviously didn't...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Ok, I think I'm still being to vague. The way I understand it, if you get in training at these firms, you recieve money to live on. I am not down just becasue of losses but also because I have to take out dough to survive. Also, I believe that they give you a cut of your gross, not sure...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Alright I'm gonna attempt to be nice, but I don't understand why you keep asking me what I bring to the table. If you read my posts then you will understand what I mean, I'm not gonna start divulging personnal info on a public board. More importantly, your responses (Rosy), don't seem to...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    I think your taking my replies the wrong way. I don't think I'm some great trader, in fact I'm not that good or I wouldn't have blown my account. I agree that it is extra extra hard to make money right now. What I did mean is I just don't have enough money saved to survive a bad time like...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    That isn't what I intended. I should have wrote, "I wouldn't really have any problems, the rest of you don't have, like a shoddy market."

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Look I'm not talking about an I bank, I'm talking about prop firms, not at GS, but independent props. I don't really understand how a 3.1 and 3.6 in my major, which was finance, is bad. Not outstanding but it isn't bad. I am liscensed, (7,66) and I have a track record. The point is if I was...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Thanks Coot, but I don't think that I was specific enough, so let me clarify a little. I have been trading for 2+ years. I did alright last year (relative to my initial deposit), and this year I was doing pretty well in the first quarter, then it all went to s***. There were several reasons...

    How to get interview at real prop firm?

    Hi All, This is my first post, although I have been lurking here for 2+ years. Anyway my question is: how exactly do I get an interview at a Schonfeld, FNYS etc.? I am a B student from a B school, and although I have been bleed out as of late, I had a decent run (relative to my account...
