PS...at that time, no internet. no discount brokers. AND no real money. Traded options in my brokers office. Had beginners luck (Mesa Petroleum, T. Boone Pickens' company). Made 12k on my first trade with a $900 investment. Lost it all back plus plenty more. But I was on the hook. Still am.
Beware!!!:cool:
 
chas, much thnx for aligator pictures. I like to watch these animals on TV. I wish to have one in my home :D

OK. Now seriously. What is your opinion on chaos theory? Do you think that Feigenbaum constant ( 4,669201 ) can be useful in timing, picking reversals?

Do you use linear or non-linear systems?

Best regards

I started "active-investing" in late '96 while a college freshman. I was 18 then. I started full-time trading in late '99 after dropping out of college. It was a tough decision but I was very $ucce$$ful in my 1st year and haven't looked back. Currently 24, my only regret is that I didn't start sooner!:D

BTW, I'm not trying to recommend not going to college. In my situation I was already successful investing/trading for 3 years before feeling bold enough to quit. It was also at that time that I KNEW I'd be a trader for the rest of my life! If you are not deeply passionate about trading, then look elsewhere for a career.
