A million dollars is so--------- easy when you're in NYC, LA, or Chicago. I don't mean with buying expensive cars or other luxury material... but just an hour, whoring at a club. High profile whoring/partying = $$$ = water.

I guess I'm being a bit too broad and subjective... :( How about I start off with historical backtesting and/or data itself. - Back in the internet bubble days, NatWest (now RBOS) made $100+ million loss, due to the options traders using the wrong data. Because they were using the wrong...

With Ferarri comes hot chicks. This is a universal rule. Congrats. (Don't start with "You only get sluts."... we just want to get laid and sluts are generally better in bed)

For discretionary traders, You'll need a longer track record and some background in a large firm would help. Try joining an institution to spice up your background. After a few successful years, you'll be ready to go on your own. It doesn't help when you have a 4-5 line background info...

The best prop. firm to work at? Has any of you above traded prop? I'm reading one of the most dumbest replies in ET. The answer is very simple: Where there's a great trader. If you want to argue, then ask yourself why that great trader continues to trade at that firm.

Being a (former-)Chicago trader, I would have to mention that a lot of the Marc's success comes from Kingstree. I don't deny Marc's mentality, but humans are an adaptive animal. You surround yourself with a "focused" group of people, along with Popeyes and Dunkin' Donuts across the...
