    College Advice

    OK, here is my situation: I've been trading stocks since I was around 15 and did a little in futures last summer. I've blown up a few times with small amounts of money, but I keep trying and learning. I have no doubt that one day I'll be able to trade profitably. I'm now a freshman at...

    Pit Traders

    I'm working down at the CBOT right now and they're starting to implement these handheld systems. It's only a matter of time when the place goes fully electronic. It's sad that the pits are going to be a thing of the past, especially because of my family's history there, but in the end, it will...

    Need a new idea

    Floor trading is totally different from what I do. I've seen lots of traders who left the floor to trade electronically, but they failed. Sure, my dad knows the basics, and has been as helpful as possible, but his help only goes so far because of the differences between pit trading and...

    Need a new idea

    I work at the Chicago Board of Trade over the summers, and my dad is a trader there. However, floor trading is bound to die sometime, so I've never been big on starting a career in it. However, it's definitely something I'd like to do on my breaks during college just to learn the basics.
