    A Help-Wanted Good laugh

    Wow really? I guess you discovered the Holy Grail then. All you need is the ability to code, take the Series 3 and have Live trading experience and Voila! Apparently anyone who has coded a trading system is automatically successful.

    Hi everyone

    Quite surprising, I would think that HKEX would have more edge available than NYSE.

    Fear of quitting day job...

    Nice story but I hear through the grapevine that you actually just kept giving up your lunch money. And even servicing some of the bullies who were on the down lo. Those knee pads from Modell's sure came in handy.

    How does one become an Energy Trader?

    Hehe, depends on what you trade. I have heard of entities not trusting each other due to BP counter party risk, but still.

    How does one become an Energy Trader?

    How come? The energy space is really heating up with opportunity. Maybe not in Texas, but still.

    Federal Reserve: fact or conspiracy?

    They have shareholders. Almost all of which are recipients of the discount window and then some.

    Fear of quitting day job...

    No I would not reccomend CL but it is better than the ES. You can try looking into metal and energy spreads, there is some edge there. But realistically, approach the issue as if you are an investor looking to put your money to work. It's all about risk/reward.

    Fear of quitting day job...

    It's the most competitive, or at the very least, one of the most competitive financial products to trade. And the current trading environment is far far from optimal. If you want to trade, at least try to find a product that has potential edges.

    Fear of quitting day job...

    Ehh, you're getting into the wrong field at the very wrong time. Either get a second job on the side or get ready to kiss your savings goodbye with no guarantee of any success. Especially trading the ES.

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    I've looked through some episodes and checked out the companies which made deals. I have not found one where the supposed investor from the show is listed on the Board or Management team. An angel/VC is always listed as a Board Member or Team Member. One of the questions always asked beyond...

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    I don't think any of them went through with the funding. The show is just promotion for the entrepreneurs.

    Would you fund a trader to help him out?

    You can start daytrading futures with as little as $2k. Obviously not preferable, but possible. With $5k he should be able to test his strategy on single lots.

    Economics of A startup Company Looking For Money.

    This show seems to be as serious as American Inventor is. These VCs seem borderline clueless. This notehall concept is decades old and every major campus has the same exact model being run on campus. One of the key issues is that professors hate that stuff and often mix up the lectures so...

    Would you fund a trader to help him out?

    Dude, I asked you a simple question and you can't answer it. If you can't figure out why you feel you have a profitable daytrading strategy, then you need to take a step back. Backtested results & papertrading are not reasons enough. They may be a start, but the real test comes when you put...

    Would you fund a trader to help him out?

    Ok so what exactly has you convinced that you have a profitable daytrading strategy? Please don't say papertrading or backtesting. Those are not viable answers.

    Is Trading Dying Out?

    It's just a matter of risk/reward. As it kept getting worse and worse, traders kept dropping out. Some by choice, most not by choice. At a certain point it is not worth adapting, better opportunities elsewhere. Many simply did not have the resources to adapt. It's a matter of perspective...
