Started off trading European bond future curve, now trade a little bit of everything.

If you vote other why not post what you think is easiest?

What do you guys think is the easiest category to make a living in with a reasonably proffesional setup and software (Bloomberg, Reuters, Squawk & decent trading software)? Why?

Perfectly described. Total joke that they are trying to do this 3 years later. Yes GS made craploads of money, and yes the $10B might have helped them and yes they benefited GREATLY from the AIG bailout... BUT who put a gun to ACA and IKB's head and forced them to buy these products? You...

To think these people run the United States scares me!!! How can market makers act in the best interest of their counter party? Yes investment advisors should act in the best interest of clients but Market Makers cannot do so, it totally defeats the purpose. If I go to a shop the seller wants...

Hey AS, I followed your Short Dax thread when I lived in Europe when you first started it, have moved to the AsiaPac now and see you are now trading here too... What timezone are you based in?

1) The employees made money 2) The company is only worth as much as the sum of their intellectual capital 3) Why not pay the employees accordingly? 4) These companies are publicly owned, why if you don't hold the stock should you care? And if you do hold the stock then pass something at an...

The reason why this question gets no replies is because it is hard to generalise without proper backround information. You give no backround information on what you are going to do. How many hours a week will you spend trading? What products will you trade? Will it be fundamental...

Cheers for the update Dogfish, at niether work for a small startup called LTS. Is Transmarket same setup as you would expect of the typical London shop? (I spent a month training at Curvalue and 2 weeks at Saxon when I first started and the owner of Curvalue got a group of us over there getting...

Sorry this is a copy paste from another thread but thought it deserved its own thread title. Just a quick post to see if anyone can give an update on how everyone is doing at some of the prop shops or trading arcades in London. Which shops are still reasonably full? I traded FGBL/FGBM/FGBS...

Just a quick post to see if anyone can give an update on how everyone is doing at some of the prop shops or trading arcades in London. Which shops are still reasonably full? I traded FGBL/FGBM/FGBS from 2002-2005 and have since moved to more algorithmic trading down under but always curious...

Hey Neke, Just a quick question and throwing an idea into the group which some people may see as weak and others may agree with. Do you size your trades with the size of the oppertunity? It seems like last year when the sh*t hit the fan you were raking it in when everyone lost their mind...

BS Bo.. I am one of the guys that has followed Neke's thread for 2 years now with great anticipation and respect. Neke has gotten my acknowledgement and at times criticism for his posts and achievements. This without a third party verification. You might be a guy that lives life to find...

Hey Neke, Haven't posted for a while and it was a bit sad to see the averaging issue pop up once again. I just wanted to comment on one of your goals, being getting to break even. I know you must have given it some thought but it seems that this year the money, the levels and little goals...

Congrats on the baby! Ang gluck trading with the baby on your mind. Looking back this years results are even better taking this news into account.

How did the Propex test go? Have you got any other applications going? If so where?

Gluck!

Hey Neke, Congrats on a great year! One question before we start the poll on the target for next year... What ever happened to the automated strategies? It seems a while back you were very focused on automating your idea's and finding patterns in your trades. I understand that most...

Good stuff Neke, just a quick question about your volatility. How does it affect you mentally now that you have had quite a few of these big swing days? Do you go home on the good days feeling like the BSD and looking at the floor tiles on the bad days or can you block it out well from your...
