Math PhD strategist looking for capital

If you really need professional rates to be profitable, you probably don't have an edge. 80 cents a round turn should have a very small effect on your PL. That is the only clue I need to tell you to go back to the drawing board.

Quote from Macho:

I know that the Chinese feel 8 is a lucky number, but is the phone number real?

Was all this public information? Even if it is I don't think it is fair that the address be published just yet.

Wow. No proxy ownership for whois? Scary.

I'm sorry, I don't understand your point.

That aside, I don't know how this guy can be legit.

All creditability just flew out the window.

The "predictions" are the same as yesterday with today's date.:eek: And the forum is still receiving spam.

Amateurs' half hour. Done.

Next PHD ,please.

PHD's are the worse traders of this planet.

in terms of system trading, Phd could have some advantage. for manual discretionary trading, i agree with you.

Problem is with PHD's system trading:

They either never go live because it's never finished.

Or they stop it because they can't handle it psychologically.

Seriously, avoid PHD's in the trading business. It's known to fail. Ask the big guys.

While I'm sure you must know better than the investment banks who hire them to trade, do I sense some empathy here?
