I don't think there's an 'elite' group and even if there were, I'd not consider myself part of it. I make a very good living doing what I'm doing, but there are other props making money I can only dream of, so no, I would not consider myself part of that :) And I'm not sure why you're saying...

It wouldn't be fair if I'd said it would be impossible, because that I just can not say for sure. I'm just saying I have my doubts, based on my own trading experience and on what I've seen around me for the past 7 years.

It's good you're laughing. Others on this site are laughing when they look at their bank account, realizing guys like you probably would have to work 10 years for what they make in 1 :)

I hope you're joking ? Posting a tradelist would reveal way too much about a traders strategy. Some traders feel that posting numbers alone is already giving away too much info and therefore they choose not to post anything at all. The prop business is a small world ... If somebody starts...

The main difference between MBA and the rest, is that he only trades the ES. That's a *completely* different game than equity trading. I've been working as a Market Maker in the Dutch option/future pit and I've seen how these guys are making money. They make money because they're in the pit...

I'm really not here to call someone a faker without having actual proof and since I don't have that, I'm only saying I have my doubts. For all I know, he MIGHT be for real though. But posting a loss doesn't make anybody much more real ... For all I know, he might just have done that to make...

Being in the prop business for 7 years, I got to know quite a few of the good prop traders out there. Therefore I know that at least 90-95% of the good guys are for real, because I know them directly or indirectly. Some of them posted insane high numbers and yes, they are really true. Also, like...

I disagree. I haven't been using arca for ages, because of their incompetitive model (unless the liquidity is there, i normally avoid it). IMHO they really just changed it the wrong way: if they had made nasdaq 2.5-3 and nyse 2-2.5, I'd really had considered to start actively use them again. But...

Like Gnome says, currently you'll most probably WILL benefit from *duo* core (because windows can run its own kernel processes on 1 core and the trading software on the other), but not from quadcores (it probably won't be faster than duo cores). Besides, I do believe that each core in a dual...

That's not true. It's not about 'multitasking' (I assume you mean 'multi tasking' = running several programs). It's about multi threading. One task can be divided up into several threads. If your trading platform is divided in lots of threads (each l2, chart, T&S etc in its own thread for...

I think quad cpu's are not the best choice for most trading platforms, because, like several people already said, most current trading software is not multi threaded. Therefore, the current fastest dual core (e6850 @ 3ghz) will give you better performance than the current fastest quad core...

You obviously don't know what's going on on the prop business. Every prop firm has and has always had its top traders making money like this. There's a book with stories from traders how worked at 'tradescape' (which became E*Trade professional later on) ->...

Szeven trades at the same firm as me, he's 100% legit. I also know some of the other guys with big numbers and again, they're really legit ... Market is really good right now and I think every prop firm has top traders making money like this at the moment ... And a lot of top traders aren't...

Can support be any worse than this ? Average time you have to wait for a reply on your mail is about 8 hours. When you try to call them, you're on hold for at least 20 minutes. I've been mailing and calling for 3 days now and still my problem isn't solved (Qcharts doesn't work). Amazing... I...

I heard that some big PIMP is re-opening Montreal again .. :)

It's THE worst software out there. Period.

Hehe, ALL money ? :) you mean the 5k deposit that a branch manager has to make ? :) Or do u mean these $100 computers you need to buy for a trader ? :) Well, i did hear that ADSL is a bit more expensive in asia, but then again, offices are much cheaper than here. So in the end, no, there's...

When prop trading came to europe, there was only Swift and our branch owner tried to pull this off too (he wanted to pay us 15%). While we negotiated quite a bit more, we still got so much underpaid and he was making so much money .. While we worked hard, he just didn't do nothing and some days...

Lol :) There are so many competitors out there ... And it is so much easier to join these instead of swift, because with swift you need a special router/line, with others you can just use ADSL (and enjoy a faster/more stable system). You're simply crazy if you keep on trading for 10%, that's...

So you lost 6k on that trade ? Welcome to Nyfix Millenium :D The learning curve is steep ... Good luck though ! And oh, BTW, do you really think anybody is going to tell you how to trade this ? Lol.
