Well, I'm not really asking if someone agrees or disagrees. I'm really just asking what kind of trade someone would put on to make an aggressive bet if you think, let's say, the fed funds rate were to increase 300 bps over the next 2-3 years... in other words, if you wanted to place a...

I'd like to put on the most aggressive style of the Julian Robertson trade - http://seekingalpha.com/article/141286-julian-robertson-bets-the-farm-on-inflation. I'm just in research mode and seeking advice on how a non-institutional investor might do this.

what's an IOC order?

back in the heyday you could easily get a draw against future profits. these days, it is very unlikely. the only place i've heard of that pays a salary is first securities of new york.

many times when i have a losing streak it's because i was undisciplined and overtraded. i have absolutely no problem taking a loss on the day if i felt as though i was making good decisions. after going through many peaks and valleys in trading, i tried to determine the root of my losing...

Thank you. There is so much cynicism on this website, it's kind of depressing. Some people spend way too much time telling people how it can't be done.

Unfortunately, I do not know people with several hundred thousand to invest. Is that so difficult to believe. I am not claiming to be a "master" trader. I have done well for myself, and I am trying to take it to the next level. Maybe you spend too much time bashing ideas rather than coming...

Thank you for the post. I have a "real" track record that I am sure is better then 95% of the people on elitetrader. I trade exclusively intraday right now, and this has just been a project of mine. I have not had a negative gross month in the last 2 and a half years. In order to make...

So, anyone here willing to just take a look at what I've done??? I believe you will be very intrigued.

so how do i get past paper trading if i personally don't have the start-up capital, and i don't want to "trade sex for money"?

I have a trading system that I have diligently tested for 18 months that has returned an average of 55 basis points per day. It has performed extremely well in both bull and bear markets. I don't have the capital to get it started. How would you suggest I go about finding the start-up capital?

just curious if anyone here applies a "system" to betting sports, that is similiar to trading stocks. if so, what kind of strategy do you use. i bet sports for entertainment, and i'm sure it's extremely difficult to gain an edge with the vig, but maybe some people out there are able to gain an...
