If there are dealers, there are front-runners.

They are trading based on a different strategy than you.

Stay at your firm for another 7-8 months. You still haven't experienced enough market conditions to do it on your own. Also, your profitable so they're teaching you well. Just make sure you keep your track record so that you can use it to move to another firm.

There's plenty. You'll never hear it on any news or website... Simply, can you name the top CME/CBOT floor trader in the major pits right now? - You won't read it anywhere. You never hear about what goes on in the stairswell in the CBOT and CME pits right? - You'll definitely...

I have to agree on most parts on what's been said above, if they are "dealers". There are prop. divisions in banks where individuals/teams are expected to make money solely on their skills. Even if you're a systematic trader, you'll simply act as an "internal hedge fund". In general, the...

Now that we have a question for Witches... how about a code for Economic Numbers.

Kill the Japs!!! Yee haaaa!!!

Be yourself. You're not applying for a sales/marketing job. You should be worried about "actually performing/making money" rather than impressing someone. Marketing and all the other stuff comes after you can trade well. Also, don't act like you know anything about trading or the...

Simply, strategical entry / random exit equally works. The thought of random entry / strategical exit... is pretty much an urban legend towards "Exits are more important" They are equally important. Over-emphasis on one side of the trade is immature...

Depends. Are you a member of the exchange? Size traded monthly? Broker doing some of your marketing? Internal Fund? etc. etc.

Agree.

Demo Accounts = worth nothing. Just start looking for forex prop. and start trading.

We all love those Vistas. *sike*
