I assumed that was the case. I am currently setup as you describe but you hear "The Cloud" every 10 seconds and I was curious if there was something I was missin.

Succeed? Presumably these poor bastards would consider three squares a day success. It never pays to confuse a life with many viable options with one where even survival is a struggle. Keep the thread.

I find it an intriguing post. I'm sure the pay is modest and I am not yet in a position to suffer the opportunity cost but if I were I might check it out. And yes, the security risks are significant. BTW ... for the fools that will certainly talk in this thread about how bad a deal the...

When the SNB links its currency to the Euro it stands ready to buy a very significant amount of Euros. Very few central banks can do that because they have ALREADY inflated themselves beyond recognition. If a guy eats right all year and indulges himself between Christmas and the New Year (or...

I know this question is simplistic but how would one run their platform(s) in the cloud? What are the pros and cons and if you are a discretionary trader is it either pointless or maybe not even possible/

We are all entitled to believe what we like.

A freakin' zillion dollars ... maybe two zillion. Are you joking? Even the Fed can't peg exchange rates for very long without other central banks lending a hand.

Sorry you caused yourself to take a hit but you caused it ... plain and simple. WHEN YOU SNOOZE ... YOU LOSE. You didn't just snooze you beat yourself senseless with a brick. When running away from the shit pile you created you abdicate all right to blame anyone for creating the pile...

Clearly this comment is accurate. The job is to find trades that have equity at the moment you fire off the order because you know in taking that trade there is a positive expectation over a large sample. When indicators help you see or give you a heads up that price action MAY be setting up...

I'm told latency out of major Thai cities is 150 - 200ms to the CME by a guy who lives there. If your style allows for that lag (and many styles do) Thailand is an attractive alternative

Call the syndicate department of the lead underwriter the day before the deal is set to break.

Many of your points about what keeps people in poverty are well taken and fit my own experience. Here is where you and I depart: The advice she was given is like being a mile from shore and being taught how to swim a quarter mile. The stock/standard advice they get is not real wold and as a...

It was a mid-level GS guy who told me that those in a position to know thought he was the best. True? No way to know and I do not claim to know. But I can tell you that I'm not going to assume that just because he was a crook that he had no talent. That is just a foolish way to think.

I didn't know trading talent immunized anyone from being greedy scum. I have been told by someone from GS that the man was virtually psychic when it came to trading and that Goldman did not have even a single client that was even close in ability. Your analysis of Goldman's business model...

Does anything I said lead you to believe I was recommending she shoot for running a fair sized enterprise -- Famous Amos size? Does anything I say lead you to believe I thought she should get involved in multi-level marketing? Does anything I said lead you to believe that I thought those...

The few well run micro-lenders have proved that many more people than we had previously imagined can run VERY simple small business particularly if the focus on a market that starts with friend, family and neighbors. She has a nest egg. I'm talking about kitty litter or soap powder or...

Guys no poor person should invest in securities to earn $600 per year. The $12 per week is too little to make a difference ... it IS TOO SLOW! And it leaves her star players on the sidelines ... her, her time and her energy. She should buy something/anything that allows her to open a tiny...

I'm sure there will be a great deal of interest. Wish I could contribute to the thread but I have zero experience with the subject.

For many years it was rumored that Jeffry Picower was Goldman's largest individual client and that his trading skill left them with their mouth hanging open in amazement. His widow forked out over seven billion last year in a claw back settlement with the Madoff Trustee where Picower was...

Here we have a post where people speak of billions, are worried about hitting position limits ... etc. While dreaming big is probably a healthy thing to do there are points where a reality check does come in handy.
