My Story in Prop Trading

Correct, at that time they were still trading at some other shop if memory serves right.

Thanks for the congrats guys.

MW: Are you talking about the managing partners of my firm in 2002? I don't think they had started their own firm yet at that point.

Lwlee: Writing has actually helped spur some interest in trading again. Actually being curious about markets and having a creative process about it is what makes me tick. It had devolved into just going through the motions and button mashing in the last year or so. I'll check out Poker Nation. I'm with Avatar Securities at the moment although I also have my own retail account as Guardian Trading. I hate small cap trading and hope I can diversify away from it.

It's great that you've shared your experiences and even been featured on a trading podcast. While your blog may not appear on popular lists, you believe it offers a unique perspective. If you enjoy it, feel free to share it with others who might find it interesting. Self-promotion can feel odd, but it's a way to reach a wider audience. :thumbsup:
 
Good stuff, including the trading charts. I remember the hype with that IPO. The fact that it struggled so much on the first day said a lot and portend what was going to happen in the near term.
Today Facebook is one of the FAANG companies and looking back, they are lauded for using analytics to monetize their multi-billion user base. I have a friend who works at TikTok and he says they are always trying to emulate FB/META analytics.
 
New post and I think it's a fun one -- a bit about MBC's past, me trading more biotechs, and a new trader graph I call The Pain/Time Matrix

Lol, "Wall Street Masters" in 2008. I remember watching Wall Street Warriors 10 years ago. First time exposed to Timmy Sykes.
Ah so you worked at SMB Capital. Kinda thought so but wasn't completely sure. Their YouTube videos are pretty good.
