Hiring a day trader

[J_Smith]

Time to get back on topic

Some years ago, a celebrity chef done a tv series - not that Ramsey idiot - and all the young would be 5 star michelen's were lined up to do the entry piece.

They would enter the kitchen, all eager to show what they knew, and then the chef would ask them to do a very simple cook, so simple nearly all of them failed, except the real good candidates.

What did the chef ask them to cook?

And here is another on topic post

What will a real good trader do if you ask him about his trading?

I do not expect the right answer to this one right away!

hint hint..it will be the opposite to what you will expect

The comments "a profitable trader wouldn't want to be employed" is nonsense. I personally know traders with track record looking for funding. However, they have track records of making 500k+ a year and are now looking to step up to the 10-20million account level and would be looking for 20-30% of the profits. Its a way for them to take their own money/risk off the table and simultaneously push on their trading size and ultimately profits with a view to building their own funds.

There are plenty of highly successful traders looking for opportunities. However not for 10-20k. Youre looking at hundreds of thousands as a minimum

Those types of traders you know are NOT going to be hired through Elitetrader.com in which the traders you know want to step up to the 10 - 20 million account level.

Seriously, if you had 10 - 20 million dollars and you're looking to hire a daytrader...what network would you use ?

Personally, if that was me with 10 - 20 million dollars and I'm looking to hire a daytrader...I would hire an institutional trader that has plans on becoming a private trader. In addition, with that type of money the employer can easily afford to lease a professional office for the daytraders to work in, ensure they are properly license and so on.

My point is that someone with that kind'uv of money looking to hire a daytrader isn't going to be looking at a forum full of retail traders. They'll most likely use their network and hire a professional trader from a firm or hire someone that's no longer working for a firm and is now a private trader.

Well, my only other guesses would be: boiled egg, poached egg, or crêpe. But, imo, the omelette or scrambled eggs would be a better test. I'd be really surprised if you said 'over easy,' or 'sunny side up.'

EDIT: This is not related to your question, but, just like in trading, everyone thinks they know what they're doing in the kitchen or at the grill.

A fried egg, and most of the little murdy gurdies hadn't a clue what he meant.

He then showed how it is done. Plenty butter, seasoning, small bit of olive oil to stop butter burning, hot pan, spoon butter over egg as it cooks, and neither too runny or too hard - just cooked to perfection, never leaving the pan as it cooks.

He really is a good chef, but ended up in the courts for not paying his taxes, was big into drugs, drink and women, and lost everything he had, a few times over.

The best fried egg I have ever seen, would have loved to taste it!
