Becoming the Top Trader

[OnGoing]

Really? No I will start asking Marty to explain the difference between long and short....Think that is a good Sales pitch for me...:eek:

Why would I want to put half a million in a prop account for a start? Pls explain that to me? My trading plan have different strategies, and I consider all investment vehicles as well, including real estate, bonds, stocks etc etc.

Ongoing;
Might be an excerllant idea, a note to Marty Schwartz;
might also want to experience the stress of winning & losing in daytrading first before you write the note .

Might have misread your committment to trading ;
since you are more committed than i thought to trading-WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH ''MOST OF YOUR CAPITAL IN HEDGE FUNDS''?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Prince Phillip enjoyed your personal fast market read & commute to Chicago from England;
but I respectfully disagree with your comment on luck.


John Henry told the Boston Globe;
What you call luck.,
I call a small sample.

The hardest thing to come to terms with is when you finally realise not just how much money you are making, but what the actual potential is. From then on you start to leave the normal world as you may know it, and that again bringhs many lessons.

Spot on. Very few people know, or formulate this. Give that man a cigar.

... In particular that writing covered calls / puts is a flawed strategy that simply takes away, not gives you edge, which personally I see as a rather bad idea...

I think you are mistaken. Selling options can be a very lucrative strategy with enough capital and proper risk controls. And there are people who do it for living

I'm sure. But in the context of the thread going back to yesterday, I hold my view.
