Hello All

[NetLo$$]

Hello Everyone,
My Introduction.
My handle is NetLo$$ because that is what I wish upon everyone who trades against me.
and if I do my job well that is what they will receive. I am new to trading, my background is electrical engineering. I worked in research (mostly power electronics for hybrid vehicles) for eight years before I my former husband and I conceived. He was a M.D. and left me for his P.A. after I had stayed home for 9 yrs. to attend our daughter Bree (Breeze). I tried getting a job in the private sector but after almost ten years of being a homemaker even with 10 years of experience nobody is interested. I suppose I've reached my expiration date despite the fact that the laws of physics have not changed. Charge distribution theory still works, Lineaer algebra and differential equations still work. But apparently being good at math is not good enough for an engineering job anymore. They would rather illegally cook a resume for a foreigner from India who received their education for free than provide a job with which I could support me and Breeze to a U.S. citizen who is very talented and qualified to artificially drive down the supply in the demand curve. I.e. must speak a specific dialect of hindi which only 15,000 people speak, but the speaker will work for half price. So I want to hit them where it hurts and achieve a living at the same time. I have with six months of coding devised a system that works ok, and will support my daughter and I. Or so I thought, the first two months it produced an 8% return on investment, then the VIX dropped and since then it has produced nothing in the last 25 days or so.

Very strange post. Good luck with that.

Do you apply certain enineering principles to trading? Can you describe your theory without giving to much away? What inputs are you using to find trade ideas? You sound driven so I'm sure you'll find a way to adapt to ever changing conditions.

First welcome to ET

Now some little truth :

1) your ex left you. Surely you contributed to the situation, BUT you still have not worked out what you yourself did
( including obviously hooking up with the wrong guy as per the situation many many many years down the line) .

2) wishing others bad things is never a good thing for a trader : you need all the good luck you can get.

3) are you getting in trading really for the right reasons? what if it takes you at least 4 years full time to get there?

If you have good system and enough capital, just trade it and make living. We should wish luck and happiness to other people, it is making us happier too
If you have not enough capital for trading to support your needs, you can use Collective2 to create some track record and start selling signals. Later you can start trade money for other people, rich individuals, prop. groups etc.

You can write blog with unusuall trading ideas to attract people, you can have special paid content. This way you can hove some money too.
But it is important to really have creative thinking and original ideas.

...
Good luck!

Advanced control system theory. Specifically adaptive artificial intelligence. Stock selection I run a Long/Short equity strategy on stocks in the IBD 200 top composite rated stocks which comes out in the Thursday paper. I just started experimenting with the 50 most volatile stocks on the NYSE between $10 and $50 per share because I have found a correlation between my profit and the VIX. (Not exactly a revelation to traders, but I'm a newbie and I'm still trying to figure things out.)

Thanks for the welcome.

1.) Yes, I was a boring math nerd.

2.) To profit as a trader someone has to lose, I am realistic about it and try to be objective and recognize exactly what it means for me to be successful. It's not like I am contributing to society in a meaningful way as I was when I was working in research coming up with ways to reduce oil dependency.

3.) I've always loved mathematics and algorithms, trading is an excellent application for both.

I consider these comments as a means to share ideas as I so freely shared the basis of my strategy in my previous comment. A place to both learn in planting and teach in harvest. Who learns and teaches whatever is dependent upon their ambition and while hedge funds have large teams, individual traders only have each other.

Good post. The Injuns are taking everyone's jobs. We need to take 'em down.

Thanks for the idea, I wish luck and happiness to other individual traders, but profits have to come from somewhere. Personally, I hope my profits come from the investment bankers who were handing out sub-prime loans.
I may start a blog once my system has a longer history and a better statistical basis. I would surely have to move to more liquid high trading volume stocks to do so and expect my clients to profit, but definitely something to consider. My system should work on about anything that is traded so maybe commodities. Once again, thank you for the idea.

Very strange post. Good luck with that.

In the early days of the internet it was considered rude to not give an introduction within the first couple months of joining a forum. Etiquette has changed more so than I have.
