Life after trading - busted traders

Quote from jack hershey:

Traderzones has a giant buddy list.

Do you have any roofing skills??

Quote from algahelga:

Do you have a track record?

Same question. The answer is no. Have a look at my thread if you want the closest figment of succesful, third party verification of his system.

The thread is called BWolinsky Trading.

I admit that I'm pure intellectual trailer trash, but I really don't think I want to be a farmer or truck driver :eek:

Yes, which is why you chose a chart pattern with no predictive value as your user name. Any true elite trader would have known that.

Bwo! You got it! Well played!

Yes.

Some of it is on file with the SEC. Check the "insider trading" category. All their citations were rescinded.

When people post their trading, others do not believe it.

Once prints are posted, viewers determine they are "photoshopped. Nitro taught me this.

Then people want to see other than Excel timing of trades. They prefer 3 years of audited statements. What is required by some people is very interesting; often they make requests and they themselves have not posted what they require. The reason I am required to do this is to assure others that what I am giving away has no value if I fail to post what those who are phishing need.

Nothing I have ever posted has been satisfactory to most ET persons. The polling, while humorous mostly, runs 4 out of 5 dislike what I do. It has softened as the years go by.

We posted for over five years here to explain what we do. Usually it is rejected by people who want to learn to make money. There are others who want to learn to trade who use the stuff we presented.

We were averaging about 2,000,000 hits a year during peak posting.

So all of this adds up to what a person makes of it. Traderzones has given me a special rating. I am worse than the next 10 worst people on ET. He has employed up to 12 roofers when he had a roofing business.

As an architect and prime contractor, I have had deliveries of tiles that took four hours to off load from the 18 wheelers. So I have a roofing track recond as well. I like tile placed so that the drywall work is long lasting without maintenance or repair.

Can't you just direct me to it or post it here, you seem evasive?

Certainly. I am glad to.

Almost anything a person would want to see is at my residence.

SEC stands for Securities and Exchange Commission. They keep vey good records of their efforts and how things turn out when they make mistakes, even. Give them a buzz and make arrangements to run through their persistent assumptions that I was insider trading. It was like a back handed compliment to me, in my opinion and they gained a lot of knowledge too about how to conduct surveilance properly and how to do proper analysis. My broker's lawyers had to be compensated by the SEC for their efforts. A mutual agreement was reached. The SEC learned to not make mistakes.

I do not want to seem evasive; try looking at my posts in a different light, perhaps.

No one so far has reverse engineered any methods my records represent. Obviously, everything I do can be coded and used as an ATS. Some times, as you see here, people have screwed up setting up the rules in a codable form and then coding them. There are no existing platforms that have sufficient coding capability to automate our trading.
You posted the same question four times on various threads.

Thanks for reading my posts and good luck in your pursuits.
 
Quote from waisb:

We all know the drop out numbers, from other threads I believe we can agree it's greater than 95% at prop firms. Where do these failed traders end up? It seems any skills learned while prop trading are not recognized by the majority of potential employers outside of other prop firms (most employers won't give a hoot about someone doing 2mm shares/month if they're not hiring you to trade).

Just curious to know where failed prop traders end up, is there a natural transition for them to something else?

Should newbies start somewhere else besides a prop firm? Some place where the dropout rate isn't as high, suggestions?

Try and find a job as a Broker at a Discount Broker/Firm (one of the bigger named ones). They'll sponsor you to get all your security licenses (which is VERY important in this business), then as you get some experience you can either move up onto their trading desks or find something else (most of the discount firms also make markets, so once your in, its not impossible to move to a trading position). You'll also be able to see the "order flow” that alone will help your personal trading, once you want to start trading again. It's also a good stepping stone to move into the full service side of the business if you want to manage other people’s money. I know a few guys that started at a discount firm and moved onto working at their trading desk, or switched firms to the full service side of the business in equity and fixed income.

You are obviously hiding a poor or non existent track record to invoke your home residence, others seem to have no problem supplying one if they are the real deal.
