Thanks Dino. Anyone else?

Well, apparently you do. :)

I've been searching the web for salary figures for Futures/Commodity Brokers and just about everything I come across is for stock brokers. If anyone here has or currently works for a full-service FCM, what can someone expect starting out? I realize that commission is difficult to estimate but...

Mandelbrot you got put in your place on that one. It's about time. Now let the flame wars begin. Post a bunch of silly pictures and make up some stupid names to call him since that's pretty much the extent of your contribution around here.

Yeah I did today but probably because I started drinking at 330.

Den you sound like a real dickhead. Did you seriously register here so you can talk down to a couple of eighteen year olds who are here trying to learn? I feel sorry for people like you. If you aren't going to be helpful, encouraging, or at least funny on a thread like this then you should...

I agree that if this guy needs to advertise what he makes then there's a good chance he's full of shit. If you asked him what he makes then shame on you anyway. I've found out in my short time on this earth that bragging about your income (no matter how big) is a huge sign of insecurity. So one...

No I'm just new to Chicago and am getting desperate for a job. Sorry for the lack of information.

Yeah. Can you get me a job when you work there?

I review my P/L for the day. Sob. Then drink.

A few others and I frequent the index futures chatroom here on ET. It might be a little more laid back than you're looking for. I throw a lot of temper tantrums and swear a lot when I lose money (everyday). I also like to discuss things other than the market when it gets slow. Today I talked...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/07/09/jonbenet.dna/index.html Does this surprise anyone else? I'm guilty of always assuming the parents did it. I kind of feel bad for them now.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh my god. BAD LENDING PRACTICES!!!! That's fucking priceless. I wish I had that kind of nerve. To blame other people for my bad choices. What a blissful existance it would be. Everytime I screwed up, instead of dealing with the consequences and learning from my mistakes I could...

Whoa there buddy sorry my returns aren't impressive enough for ya. I don't know what you're looking for but if you expect everybody to come on here and post their tax returns it's not going to happen. I've learned that as curious as you about what other traders are making and as optimisitc...

Laugh it up. I should at least be commended for honesty :)

Took a break to make a move up north and to regroup after almost blowing my account. Today was the first day in a while I was in sync with the market. Sorry forgot blotter. Tuesday +30 Wednsday-127 Thursday +101

I recently moved to downtown Chicago. Let me know if you guys ever meet for drinks I'd like to meet some traders in the area. Andrew

I'm a newbie with a relatively small account but I'm down about 85% over the last 2 months. I had about 7 consecutive losing days that accounted for most of the drawdown. It's difficult to accept but I think the only thing you can really do is take a break,evaluate what youre doing wrong and...

They can't all go bankrupt, the government will bail the best ones out so people can still fly.
