In my experience, I worked as a buy-side equity analyst for a small boutique money manager for 3 years after graduating with a B.S. (I had taken the Level I CFA prior to being hired), the CFA alone is not getting anybody a job - particularly in this market where the financial industry is flooded...

I think 2 years of trading experience with some success is a great start to a trading career... I personally would focus all of my attention and energy on learning risk management - as you say that is your biggest weakness. I don't think this is the best time to be getting a CFA and trying to...

Will do - thanks for highlighting the driver issue - I wasn't aware that I might run into that problem.

thanks gnome... so aside from the potential compatibility issues - that I won't know until I install the card - would PCIe x1 cards be significantly better than PCI - as far as performance, reliability, less heat; or are all of those issues vid card specific? thanks

Currently running a PCIe x16 dual video card for two monitors, would like to add 2 more monitors. Only have one PCIe x16 slot, should I purchase a PCI or PCIe x1 card; to run two 19" LCD monitors at 1280 x 1024 resolution? I have onboard video - ATI graphics - looking for ATI video cards...

Often times, people expect one thing in their lives to satisfy every need and want. For ambitious and goal oriented people - they expect their career to satisfy EVERY need they possibly have. That unfortunately is never the case, no ONE person, or ONE job, or ONE thing in life can satisfy...

I appreciate the responses... is IB data ok for day trading as well. I do not intend to scalp - but will position daytrade. So to clarify - most of the traders that are extremely concerned with high high quality data feeds are either scalping, market-making, or trading black-box systems, or...

Looking to use IB with Ninja. I keep hearing that ZenFire and Ninja are great when used together... but I can't find any information on ZenFire datafeed. Is ZenFire feed available for IB? If so, how do I go about getting the feed - I can't find any links or info on Ninja's website, or via a...

Been looking for prop shops out in Seattle and/or Portland. Anybody know of any out there? Or any other shops in the Pacific Northwest? Either stocks or futures... just trying to see what's available to me in that part of the country. Thanks in advance.

These are great words... And no disrespect intended to all the quants out there - but don't be discouraged by the masses of people telling you have to be a quant... that quants are the future of trading... you need a PhD in math and systems development. A LOT of quants don't know jack sh!t...

I hear you keep referring to trading as an addiction. This clearly is an indication that you have lost all psychological and emotional control. I think it is best for you to follow your heart and quit. As Ed Seykota always says - we get from the markets what we want from the markets...

It is much easier to go the institutional route first (if you can get a job). If that doesn't work out, or if you don't like it, you have the experience, you took your shot and you can move into the props and arcades. The props will always be there and they are not nearly as difficult to get...

Do you even know the components of the CPI - what % of it is goods manufactured overseas - particularly in China?

I'd be curious what your enlightened economic policy is... cut, cut, cut... inflate, inflate, inflate... measure America's inflation rate by using China's cost of production... Inflation as measured by the CPI is a phenomenon of the '70s - when America controlled both production and...

I'll sell it for $2M if you pay me in gold and silver coins.
