Are you fulltime trader?

Quote from Port1385:

I have been watching ET for a number of years. The average "Elitetrader"

1) Always makes money.
2) Makes 6-7 digits in pure profit each year...sometimes 8 figures.
3) Owns a few houses that are "paid off".
4) Just trades 3-4 days per week for an hour then uses the free time to perform different leisure activities.
5) Never has an off day, week or year.
6) Always on the right side of the market and can make money no matter what the trend.
7) Always closes their positions out at the end of the day so money can be freed up for making money the next day.
8) Any woman they go out with seems to be young and great looking.
9) Has at least 2-3 luxury or sports cars.
10) Donates at least 10% of their winnings to charity.

wow, you just described me perfectly ! :D :D
 
Quote from Loki:

I have plenty of free time every day is like to be on vacation, but I do nothing. I just stay home all the times. I am really bored during holidays and weekends, I love Mondays. I don't get along with people and I have very few friends.

I hate people to! But being alone all day sucks. I think my dog finds me annoying.
 
Quote from innovest_11:

1) Why do you want to be fulltime trader?
2) What do you do during freetime?
3) Earning more than previous drawn salary?


3 -- a) And is that trading earnings real or paper (as most ETers are)

Quote from Loki:

My dog drools on my feet while I work. I find him annoying sometimes.

1. What the hell else am I going to do?

2. Drink and watch sports with buddies, hang with family, hunt with pooch, read, golf, learn about java script (god help my feeble mind), wonder if it is worth paying more attention to politics than I already do knowing that it will just make me angrier (doesn't seem worth it right now).

3. Yes, although this years p/l thread doesn't reflect it so far. dammit.

1) going to be fulltime trader soon. More screentime means higher chance to mint money.

2) eat, sleep, f...ing

3) thats the idea. Once trading gives 3x my salary, have to fire my boss:p
 
Quote from wiesman02:

???? This year is 10 days in and you are up 250k ? Or was that '08. This makes no sense.

I call BS


yes sorry I meant 2008

This statement really hits home. I hate Sunday and can't wait for Monday AM.

And people are fine as long as they leave me alone during market hours :)
