i headbutted my desk hard enough to crack it once after a bad day of poker. I got all that out of my system before I got into trading.

What were your screenames? Were or are you a 2+2 guy? Just curious. It sounds like you need a life/friends. Do whatever you are interested in. Go to cooking school, college, church, anything really, just to get involved with people and do something you enjoy.

just get a series 7...

I should have said pro firm. 30-1 is plenty for me. If you need more, do something else I guess. I lost money at futures, I make money at stocks. I scalp mostly, and I find it very easy in stocks to buy on the bid and sell on the ask a lot of the time. I never was able to do this on...

You can get all the leverage you want if you go prop. Taxes don't matter if you lose money. I like watching more stocks because I would rather take the easiest money available. Why try and squeeze a few points out of a rangebound ES when there is something else going straight up or...

e-minis.

I made the switch to stocks a few months ago. Made everything pretty easy. I only follow 20 stocks and still every day there is plenty to trade that is moving nicely.

You made my morning. Thank you.

Ah that came out wrong. I meant losers as in they lose money, not as an insult.

lol ok i will be more specific, i have PM ed exactly two people from the pl thread that put up huge numbers consistantly, and they have been very open to me and answered my questions. You can probably figure out who they are now. Of course I wasn't asking specificaly for their methods...

the guys in the p+l thread that put up 2-5k days consistantly.

Most people on here are losers. The good traders will help you, and will probably tell you that indicators aren't too important, you should focus on price, support, and resistance. And that trading has to be learned by experience. So open up some charts and time and sales, watch price...

Only 10k and you want to lease a seat??? Go to cme.com they have seats for lease.

Well a high stakes player on the forum that had money on ELN because of Brandons tip came out and said that in no way did Brandon imply he had inside info. The only person that has accused him of saying he had inside info is some random internet person that won't post his real name.

yeha but maybe a million or 2 isn't too huge for Brandon. Especially since it sounds like almost allof it was recent profit.

you are my hero. This is the approach i am taking. 15% risk free returns a year won't even pay my bills much less make me a millionare.

you guys have got to understand the poker player mentality. We get such good returns on our poker money because of the nature of the game, that 50% bankroll drawdowns aren't really a big deal. Doubling a bankroll several times is pretty easy, and the risk of ruin is really quite low if you...

here is the link for the above post from 2p2, the big poker forum. Brandon Adams was the trader. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=278512&page=6 Fun stuff when poker players get into trading. Our idea of bankroll management is a little different from 1% risk per trade...

Do hedge funds use support and resistance levels?

I have found i do the best playing on small non pokertracker sites as a prop. Right now the site I am playing most of the action is at .50/1 NL buy my hourly is ridiculous, like 160+ because all the fish buy in for 200 BB, plus 100% RB.
