Yeah, in demo I've done the hedge thing. Actually, when I was brought on I was doing very well trading a small account. They were looking at seeing how guys could handle a $100,000 demo, in case we became Series 3 licensed & ran a fund. I was the other guy in the room who handled it well...

Ok, I may be using terms from my days in the equity trading industry. But I have a question that probably entails calculating %'s of pips against me, & was wondering if anyone had done this before. I met a guy whose premise was that, if you had a large enough account, and went in with a...

Thanks, Lucky Irish. I come from day trading background, at one point ran a trading desk. Licensed w/ NASD. I never made the big money attracting millions, letting them blow up, then moving onto next guy. But I was making money, enough, & the licenses were clean. Just started looking...

Does anyone out there have any experience in becoming a referring party to a Forex Broker, and what it entails. Obviously, the Series 3 is the first step, but is there anything that can be done before that is taken? What else is necesary? I am intrigued by the notion in so much as I can refer...

i'm in same position as you. I've been demo'ing with GFT's software. I'm looking to start out with a mini account. I'll check back for suggestions.

Having run a trading desk for larger day trading firm, & an osj for a small day trading firm, anyone know the way to start up a small office? Fromk researching firms to getting the 3, which I just found I do not have to be sponsored for, as opposed to the 7 w/ NASD. Any other ideas from any...

I, too, have shorted the AUD. But where's the best place to get information on Aussie news, commodoties, etc? I am still new to currencies.

Sorry. To be more specific, I'm talking about going from trading equities, where neither I nor others focused on any one in particular. Rather, we traded whatever was moving that day. Earnings shortfalls, upgrades/downgrades, etc. The new shift I'm looking at is focusing on trading spot...

The title says it all. I have had success trading equities, as well as running a small trading office, where I have seen my share of success and failure. My question is, for the few traders who can make a living trading stocks, how hard is the transition to trading currencies, and how long is...

Megadon...Tell me when they're shooting the sequel...WorldCo II. You had told me in a previous post that I should get a hold of Walter, since I worked for him. If you didn't get my response, the only Bruan on my desk was Sloan, who was always cool with the desk. But haven't been in touch...

Sorry, but I never had his number, nor did I work for him. I may have said I interviewed as a trader, but only took a position months later after a separate interview for the agency desk. The only Bruan involved in our desk was Sloan, whom I have nothing bad to say about. She was great to me...

Like him or hate him...I never really got to know him. I ended up working for WorldCo, though on the agency desk. But I'll never forget the interview I got when I did go in looking at being a prop trader. Some stuffy kid was interviewing me, looked like an extra from the "Less Than Zero"...

I've been reading these posts looking for some info. Any out there would be greatly appreciated. I spent a decade in the industry, the last 3 1/2 years of which were at a place I see spoken about quite a bit here...WorldCo. I, however, was not a prop trader. Or a hedge fund trader. I...
