Introduction and backround. I think I have a good backround to have success

ruff? gremmer? You are at most a redneck without any education nor manners. You are on my ignore, not for lack of spelling but because you do not add the slightest value.

Pretty sure everyone thinks your the prick ZZZ1, add me to ignore aswell pls.
 
honesty hurts sometimes, yes I know...I only add some of the lowest lowlifes to my ignore list. I have not come across yet too many posts of you, so I have no opinion of you. Let's leave it at that.

I have zero interest in people that judge others, especially when they drop as low as being a spelling / grammar natzy.

Why a "redneck"? How do you know what his race is?
 
I have been reading these forums for about a week now. I wanted to introduce myself and let people know my backround. I was a financial advisor dealing with retail clients for about 5 years. In that process I watched a documentary on card counting in blackjack.

I thought you had to be a super smart guy to do it and no normal human can do it. These people in the video did not look super smart. I got my hands on everything I can read, Like 10 books and went through ever professional blackjack forum out there and basically read every post. I sat home and practiced everyday on the kitchen table for about 2 hours a day for around 8 months so I can get the skill it took and find out how the swings look even with a small edge. I looked 500 hours and then took a home equlity line of credit out of my house to start it (it was ballsy but I wanted to win bad). I started with 25k in cash and 50k loan paid off the loan and won about 1.7 million in 4.5 years. I got barred from every big casino that takes major bets in the united states. And I am radio active in OSN and Biometrica which is the casino national database on advantage players and cheats.

I have about 1.2 million left after taxes and buying some shit. I know it is retarted to just deposit that in a trading account and start. I want to do what I did with blackjack to learn trading. Read everything I can and I felt the passion burn in my belly. I am starting to feel that again with trading. I wont accept failure as an option cause there is no way im going back to working for a boss. I know I need to find an edge and then make Kelly bets accordingly. Im reading threw all the stuff and will read every thread on this forum as I am in fulltime study mode. Can anyone pointment in the direction of different stratigies out there. Right now I only know about Pair trading cause I read on a blackjack forum that don bright went on the blackjack forum years ago and he was a card counter who found an edge in the markets. Any feedback pointing me in the right way would be helpful, but im not looking to be spoonfed. Im excited to be here.

Rising above the "ET Family Fights" and back to the original request for guidance, here is mine. Since you leave the casino with 1.2M you understand their edge and you can acquire that "casino edge" in the market by selling option premium. Learn to sell iron condors between 1 and 2 standard deviations of the expected option move to its expiration and you will make a fine living and not ever have to go back to work.

Selling option premium has been given a bad rap by some because on any one individual trade it does have a poor risk reward relationship but your risk is known and can be mitigated by adding a debit spread on the side of the position that might get into trouble. This could even enhance the profit on the trade if the underlying stabilizes as you could still get full profit on the vertical spread that you sold and a profit on the debit spread.

Of course you can also close the leg that might get into trouble at any time. You do not have to take a max loss on a trade. In any regard the vast majority of your trades will expire worthless thus rendering full profit to you for your sale.

If you really do not need the excitement of the casino or trading, and do just want to avoid having a regular job with a boss so you can stay put and begin to think about a wife and family, then this will do it for you.

If you "must" give "trading" a try, then open up a futures account with 10K to trade ES and amuse us with how fast you lose it. It will take longer to learn to trade than it did to count cards.
 
Of course it's as easy as that (not). Stupid investment banks, stupid hedge funds, stupid analysts, stupid hft firms. How could they miss such obvious strategy approach. Life can be so easy, but seems those market professionals like to make their life particularly difficult.
