    Looking for Paul Tudor Jones Trader video

    I know I'd be embarrassed by it. He talks about how he'll be such a great benefactor during the depression to come after the crash of 87. He got the crash right using a overlay of the 1929 year. Also talks about how Prector's stuff is soooo wonderful. lol. If he only knew. I also like how...

    Argggghhh!!! Cnbc Is A Bunch Of Morons!

    It's definitely for real. What's next? Eugenics. Since Darwin bro's will be running the show, expect a new movement to eliminate future generations of undesirables.

    Argggghhh!!! Cnbc Is A Bunch Of Morons!

    Say it ain't so....I was depending on free health care, a hydrogen powered car running on rainwater, no more wars, a balanced budget, $15/hr min. wage with .50 fat free Big Mac's, and those greedy rich getting the shaft. If I don't see those happening I'm going short 10,000 ES contracts the day...

    How far did you go net negative before you became net positive?

    I dropped about 50k in index options trading before I turned the corner. I tried index futures and 10 year bonds after I got the options worked out. In futures I was profitable right away and haven't looked back. My conclusion, profitable options traders are MUCH better than futures traders.

    "Losers average losers"?

    Maybe he put up the sign because it's a problem for himself. If you look at his "Trader" video look at how he puts on the crude trade. He keeps building his position even though it's losing money as he goes along. It's not surprising he lost 4% of his capital in that one day by "averaging down".

    Are instutional *on average* or retail traders better?

    I guess you guys really are clueless. You're increasing the risk per-trade and reducing the account size. You move closer to optimal f by increasing risk per-trade. If the account size you applied it to was 1 mill. then yes, drawdown would go up as a % of account. By reducing the size of the...

    Are instutional *on average* or retail traders better?

    I've been asked this before. The correct answer is to increase the risk per-trade and reduce the notional account size. By doing so, you move further out on the risk/reward curve and get closer to optimal f. Ex. risk 1.5% of 300k and put the 700k into paper. Drawdown of 10% on 1 mill. is...

    Are their any fully-backed trading firms?

    Plenty of firms can be found here: http://www.traderdaily.com/news/item/1085.html Very few futures prop firms require any investment. Usually you're only trading their money.
