Mark B. One of the reasons could be that when they are asked for proof of trading profits they say that the CTFC doesn't allow them to divulge this (see the earlier post in this thread). In fact this is not true but by not directly saying they make profits the CTFC can't nab them for fraud...

Great comments Larry. Don Bright mentioned that one of his traders won a million dollar poker tournament and that this traders father is a professor of gambling/probabilities at a University in Las vegas. I forget his name but you might know of him - anyway it shows how related trading and...

The only reason they could have for saying it is against CFTC rules is if they give you flase information. Anyone is allowed to show their statements and my understanding is that the CFTC would encourage traders to gain such information before buying any system or training.

I bet he was smiling when he was up $2mill .

Larry. read your book almost 2 years ago and I credit it, and some things I learnt on ET, with keeping me alive in trading. Trading is considerably more complex - especially from a probabilities point of view- than poker but the basic premise, that the real game is played not against the...

Hi Kiwi, Kind of a surprise to hear about your breakup with woodies. Is Blinky still hanging in there?

I am laughing too. At your stupidity. Bright have over 40 branch offices and Don Bright is about the most knowledgeable person on trading you can find.

At the risk of poiting out the obvious, you don't seem to have have price bars on your charts. You haven't taken woodies 'we don't need no stinkin price action' mantra to heart have you?

Sounds like you've had lots of experience . Tell us about your time at other forex prop shops so we can compare with global.

The bloomberg lon eagle and global are referring to has a cost of about $1700/month. It is a little different from the one you get on cable:p

Talk about whiners. If you don't want to join Global go with another broker. And when@you join tell us how much better they are for prop trading.

I didn't realise challenge was a negative word, must have been living in Japan too long. Let me rephrase: You are hereby invited to a gentlemenly round of forex trading. Just to give it a slight spice a moderate sum is pooled and then given to the lucky trader who happens to end with the...

Well I offered to start on the last thread with a $200 entry fees for the games in the tournaments. No one seemed interested. Anyway no problem... When I spoke with tradergames they said they will be flexible to suit any games I set up, including entry fees.

Scientist has refused the challenge. This is a challenge to everyone on Elitetrader. Maybe you don't play poker, if you did you would understand.

Hi all, Some of you looked at the thread where I challenged Scientist to a match on www.tradergames.com http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41153 Well those games never took off. BUT I think these will. I spoke with management at tradergames and they have agreed to...

Lefty, I'm just a plodder when it comes to trading but the longer I go the tighter my stops get. here's my P/l for today (all after commission). I trade only 1 contract these days as I had some large losses when hodling up to five contracts. Even trading the dax, which is 3 times as...

This is more like it. Watching a paper trader means little. But when I see someone trading real money I watch, keenly...

Sometimes, when I am feeling brave. The $96 tick size means you have to have balls of steel, I had mine clanged a few times.

SPI is like watching paint dry. HSI is highly volatile. Nikkei has medium volatilty and is HIGHLY liquid.
