His fifth post is quoted below. From the syntax I would say he is from the top of the class at U of Chi.

EMG said: "I am filled at 1161.75. looking for 1pt profit target."

LOL

Why the hell would anybody put in the time and effort to make up flow charts and graphics about how to fail in trading? Hilarious.

Hello people, this is my first post on the forum and I would like to thank everyone for this amazing information resource that you guys have built up with time and commitment.

Anyways. I have had a friend who was been involved with Trading of any sort for the past 40 years, and anytime I used to listen to him discussing with other dealers I was fascinated by the passion, the commitment and the love for the business he put in.

A little while ago I started trading few amounts of bitcoin, mostly for fun and to raise up few beers. However after few months I have been doing this I can't say I have an actual stable income, but half of my salary comes from it.

So I have decided to extend my boundaries thinking about starting a real career as trader, just like my friend did.

I am interested in trading anything, starting with money, to scarp metal, plastic, tire recycling, possibly taking every good opportunities that comes along.

What brings me down is that first of all I am 25 year old, and this might be a fact for companies to not take me in consideration, second I have done Computer Science at school and I am a unix network admin. I know very little about economy.

But I do have the passion for trading, I feel I have the potential, I can speak two languages, Italian is my native and I think I have a developed a pretty good english, and I want to put as much commitment as possible into this.

After this small brief about myself, do you guys think I can have a future in this kind of business?

Where would I start reading, learning etc. Anybody have any suggestions about what should I do first and how?

Regards,
Pietro

Speaking Italian would be an advantage if you were in fashion, food service but in finance, capital markets hardly...
Join a prop firm ECHOtrade, Bright Trading etc., learn a bit about trading and then start sending out applications, given your computer background someone may take a crack at you but, don't be dissappointed if they don't, its a very competitive field.
