I've got a few PMs from current prop. traders with the same worries. I am really not sure if it helps I'll go ahead and write what it took to get out of prop. and into my own hedge fund. Well, the main cause of changing careers started with myself talking to old school floor traders. They...

Isn't that the same as most system developers? Same Data. Same Tool. It's inevitable for trader's performance to start correlating.

Agree.

I don't what a spirit is... I've never met someone who can give me what it is or whether it even exists (only opinion and assumptions), so I have no idea how this can even be discussed... I guess it's like a conspiracy theorist telling me that they lose in trading because some organization...

Consistancy.

I might as well start a Hedge Fund in Warcraft also... I need to start collecting historical data and start testing stuff, developing models... :D If there's a Sports-Betting Hedge Fund... mind as well try to find Warcraft Hedge Fund... It'll look weird on my fund's PPM: Share Class...

You know where you're going to put all the blocks 2-3 shapes before it falls. You just need to keep your button pushing to the minimum(of course, aligning(L-R) and flipping at the same time. I can't see how you can get the blocks stacked up to a critical point. The rest comes with...

I just ordered my WarCraft. If I get addicted, there's no one to stop me!!!

Let's try to find who's Larry Connors in this thread...

I've recently found out about Warcraft. I guess it's close to trading. You constantly think of strategies and highly addictive.

That's what makes you a newbie. OK... so you develop a trading system. Woopeee!!! It's a great system! So what do you do next? Trade it live? or... You have a system running, already. What do you do with?

I've been reading and hearing all about Warcraft. (and of course in South Park) What makes it so addictive?

Great. Just another thread where wanna-be system traders thinking system trading is about developing the best performance. System development is easy. System Traders are about Risk Management.

I'm trading both Asian and US Markets... I don't have a life out of my office and have a lot of time while I'm waiting for my tests to finish... I've been reading that Warcraft is a fun game and thinking of playing it. What do you guys think?

LOL... Newbies...

If you have a good model, goto the hedge funds or IB and develop a partnership. If you're not a strong programmer, I'll suggest you to study a bit. If you have the skills to implement those models into their system, you'll have a stronger edge of getting in. If you can't program... then...

Good question... sad = happy * -1; happy = sad * -1; if (sad = depression) then happy = x; .... Dude... I have no idea... I'm stumped... can someone smart answer this?

As you have thought, it's all the itsy-bitsy ground work stuff. There's no glamour or hotness in it but all the fund traders I know appreciates their work. After you learn the whole nine yards and get connected with the top Inst. Bank, it's an easy 6 digit income, and they sure deserve it.
