<b>Here is something I do not quite understand. Maybe some of the experts can answer some questions. I recently received an email from a company called GFS Forex & Futures, which I am not all that familiar with. They are touting a trading contest they will be holding next month. </b> <b>I...

I thought I may update those who give a shit, what direction I went into. I decided to give the floor a shot. As of now, I am a clerking for options market maker. The positive aspect, when we go electronic, I will be able to apply the same strategies since we are using (Delta Neutral). I...

Thanks for the reply. I am pretty much doing the latter, trading what I have, building up. As I said, I could set up the CTA money management business now, but I would prefer to learn directly from someone who has a succesful operation. I always can keep doing what I am doing. Just trying to...

Hey dope, talk to me when you learn how to spell.

I have addressed your questions in my previous posts. First, I never said I wanted to start my own hedge fund. I merely stated my medium to long-term objective would be start my own CTA business or possibly set up a hedge fund. It would not be difficult to start building a track record. I am...

Cheesefuck: You didn't answer my question, what do you for living? Get the c**k out of your mouth and post.

Gaijin: Thank you for your response. Clearly, you’re more schooled than I am using TA, and trading for that matter. I’ve read a little bit on Charles Dow. His theory relates more towards equities than commodities or FX. For me, I use TA to determine my entry and exit points, confirmation...

SethArb: The question you asked me above is one that I ask myself often. Will I be happy if I do not meet my own expectations? I am not sure I will. I am not materialistic, but at the same time, we only live once. This conversation goes beyond the scope of my career. I appreciate your...

OldTRader: Hopefully, I will find my niche somewhere. More importantly, as you said, I need to have the desire and passion for whatever I do. Life will be a lot easier. Thank you again for your response.

You figured me out. I am pretending to be someone I am not for the attention. Sorry for wasting your time.

THanks for the entertainment, while I watch the Yanks seal a victory against Baltimore. I am very interested to know what you guys do for a living--Cheesefuck and Fadertrader. Would you guys keep it going? I have a couple hours till I leave.

Cheesefuck: I have my own brokerage business in Manhattan. I make good money, but I am bored. I also think there are better opportunities out there. So before I am 30 years old I would like to position myself for something that I feel worthwhile. Listen, if you like to discuss your...

FaderTrader: Actually, that response was not directed towards you, but Cheesefuck. First, I probably a mistake by spending the time writing out my situation on a forum. I am really not in a bad situation and have several options. My question is which direction should I go in, if any...

FaderTrader: I have nothing negative to say regarding Fishers methodology. I have heard him in person. The guys he employs are very successful. Many of them make several million per year trading Nat Gas, Unleaded, HO or Crude. It is a fraternity down there with his crew. Most clear their...

What fantasy? I already make a decent living, have, at least what you would think, a nice bank roll. Maybe you need to adjust your attitude. It evident that you have failed. Please, save your adages for Ma and Pa. Your miserable, right? Not happy whatsoever. But hey it seems you get some...

I appreciate your candor. Yes, I am in NYC. I have already read the Logical Trader. In fact, one of my floor connections trades unleaded gas for MBF. He recommends that I pursue other avenues than Fishers program and/or clerking for a designated period, then getting “staked” or putting up my...

Cheesefuck, Thanks for the reply; really poignant and insightful. After sifting through some of your responses or postings, it is sounds as if you have some regrets. Are you bitter? Keep your chin up.

Thank you for the reply. Ultimately, I would like to set up a money management operation (CTA/Hedgie). However, I still need more experience. I will begin to send out my resume to the hedgies, starting wth SAC, Tudor, etc. Hopefully, I can find a good fit.

I have a question. Frankly, I am in limbo with my career. First, I need more experience. I have worked in operations at a large IB (dead end). I have done Trade Support for a CTA, working with him (great experience, no opportunity for growth). I have worked on the dealing desk for a FCM that...
