Gifted trader: Andy Priston

Yeah, if these women are the very best he can do then I must insist on seeing brokerage statements. At the very least he could hire some high grade prostitutes instead of swinging with some low grade chunky chicks.

I not only dont see the point of this thread, I dont see the point of this website where I have half the members on ignore.
 
Quote from traderchi128:

Actually it was The Eurex not Chicago. Was a German Bund trader. He was part of The Mac/Refco group before Refco imploded. While he was a very big trader, not sure he was a major percentage of any market.

Priston’s trading is said to account
for as much as :eek: :eek: :eek: eight percent of monthly
trading activity in the Eurodollar futures
contract on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The 28-year-old reportedly earns as much as
$15 million per year and recently appeared
in the annual Sunday Times list of richest
Brits.

I'm sure you are lining up far better-looking women every day of the week, lol. Typical internet BS.

P.S. 'high grade prostitute' is an oxymoron.

Yes. Traded at Refco/Mac. The London guys from Mac would visit Chicago a few times. Got to speak with him a bunch of times. Cool guy....was by far the best trader in that company.

Andy Priston's trading giftedness is literally one in millions, as rare as a Lebron James.

I think you're gushing too much. If he's made that cash (and it's always a big when the media talk about traders, remember they're selling stories, not always facts) then he's good, very good but up against many others in this business he's a in the lower Leagues.

I stand corrected....the few times I traded on the same desk with him at Refco he was trading mostly Bunds. He traded very large positions...nobody traded the Eurodollar there. Must have been post Mac.

Hi ! And do you know how he traded? I mean , 2000 lots in bund looking for 3-5 ticks , outrights, spreads, flipping :confused:...

¿ Did he mainly watch DOM?

I've been told that he's now trading the ES in lots of 500-1000 in Montreal.

Thank u very much.

This is ridiculous in it's face. You don't really believe any individual (even the head trader at a large institution) could ever be responsible for "a major percentage".

Priston is, or was, singlehandedly responsible for a major percentage of the Chicago's future market.
