kamdooo, OK. So, you were being sarcastic. ;) Anyhow, the thing about trading is it's so difficult to distinguish between skills and luck and the evolution of that cycle. So, many people without well thought out methods can make money and think all you need is just "feeling" the right...

nicholaf: At first, I thought he was being sarcastic given his prior posts how important education was and how everyone on ET was a "loser". And now he seems to agree that education is bullsh*t. Maybe he's schizo.

hey all! !I'm back! I've been out of this board for a while. Gosh, a lot has changed. Well, let me tell you this. I've been in the institutional world for a while, then I went to prop trading which I thoroughly enjoyed then went back to institutional world again for stability reasons,etc...
