    Poker vs Trading

    I always got a kick out of the forum discussions on how shortstacking is "unethical" lol. Bunch of whining 18 year old kids mad that someone found a way to get an edge on them. They don't think there is anything wrong with 8 table PAHUDING the fish to death of course. I don't think there...

    Poker vs Trading

    nice candle, i'm curious, what sort of bankroll do you think you need for 5/10 shortstacking? Rough winrate? I play up to 2/4 NL if a game is good, normally lower though, fullstacked. I think being a shortstacker could be fun since all the players get so pissed at you guys all the time.

    Poker vs Trading

    hey candletrader where/what stakes do you shortstack? I agree poker is a smooth income on less money. However trading is better for making big income like over 20k a month. I'm still learning to trade and have played poker full time for 6 years. I'm finding the skills aren't really the...

    Help! Longshot Alert: Newbie Needs a Remote Prop home with no deposit.

    They don't lock up any money. You pay 4k to get trained and enter the program. There is a refund the first 10 days and after that the money is gone. It isn't a deposit, it is a payment.

    Help! Longshot Alert: Newbie Needs a Remote Prop home with no deposit.

    One other thought, if they just took people on for cheap or free, they would get a bunch of losers and a few nice winners. The nice winnners would leave. They have got to do it this way to make money. I don't think you can fault them for that. How else are they supposed to protect...

    Help! Longshot Alert: Newbie Needs a Remote Prop home with no deposit.

    I'm with keystone and i like it. The training is solid, and worth 4k IMO, because it also gives you some money to trade. I view the trading their capital part as a practice account and plan to just fund my own once I am consitantly profitable. The guys running it seem legit and for me it...

    Why does no one here give detailed trading advice?

    There is no magic formula. Nothing moves the same every day, every week, every year. Real traders watch the markets and trade accordingly. You've just got to put in the time...

    Keystone Trading - SCAM or not?

    Well this thread is getting sidelined, but i have paid quarterly taxes as a pro poker player for a few years now, and you have the option of paying quarterly on actual income, not estimated. Thats what I do, makes the most sense for a gambler/trader. Don't ask me the specific rules or...

    Keystone Trading - SCAM or not?

    Yeah we hold for big intraday moves too. IMO anything that turns a loser into a winner is well worth 4k, not to mention it gives you a trading account on top of it. To each his own of course. If you already are a good trader I'm sure there are better options. BTW please stop PM ing me...

    Strategies for a beginner

    Oh sorry, I meant Bright trading a prop firm that lets you hold overnight. You could carry like 250k worth of overnight positions if they were diversified to keep your risk low, ie 100 2.5k positions long and short. That way you could really leverage your 21k into a decent second income...

    Strategies for a beginner

    Cool you are in a good situation to give it a serious try. I think you said you are not going to be able to do it intraday, so you would basically have to position trade because even swing trading would require some intraday actions. You can't really expect to generate too much income off...
