Brooks biggest mistake as a teacher

I beg to disagree. I am with Dr King.

That said it is truly remarkable you are a professional trader since 1998! Such longevity, you must be very good! :thumbsup:

Are you a professional because you are trading for an IB, HF, funds or a professional because you are full time trading your own money?

I trade full time since 2010 but considered myself an amateur retail because I have never been associated with any financial institution or have any financial training. All my trading/investing knowledges came from books, Google and ET.

I like @padutrader. There are hidden gems in his posts.

Best regards,

I was on a trading desk in NYC, 1998-2003, then went on my own as an independent trader. Only job I ever had. LOTS of casualties during those first five years.

I was lucky. I definitely would never make it if I started today, since those initial resources are mostly gone. And there is so much garbage out there...

I am so happy for you. If I can start my life over, I would definitely try to be a professional trader like you.

What instruments do you trade?

A few years back, I developed a method using options to speculate on special situations, seek highly asymmetric investments, in which the potential profit greatly exceeds potential loss....

Stock Index Futures, and a portfolio of US equities, ETFs, and leveraged ETFs.

I began as a NASDAQ daytrader, so lots of "adaptations", but I am OK now.

I was premed, but picked up "The Market Wizards", and never looked back...
 
Still not too late to go back and get your MD. This gentleman graduated with a MD at age 62:
