Does anyone know of any firms in the Chicago area hiring experienced options traders. If so, what are the terms, fees, money required to start or do they take a percentage of the profits only. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.
Options Firms hiring traders

- Start date
Since we are on the topic, does anybody know any good options trading companies in New York? I'm still a full time student, I finish this August, but I average about $5 grand a week on only two trades a week. Since I implemented my new system 6 weeks ago, I have had a 100% win record. So If anybody wants a bright guy with a 3.9 GPA and a record like that, please contact me. Thanks

?I need to get a regular job because I'm trying to get into Business school. I just do not think that daytrading options will impress them enough. I think they would rather see that I went through the system; you know, worked for a company in a 9-5 job.
The only thing that kind of scares me is that, you are right, why would I want to work for anybody else if it meant a pay cut?

It's pretty crazy how many emails that I have gotten from this thread about what I trade. I just trade what is about to move, that's all.
It doesn't take a genious to figure out what I do. In fact, I dropped most of the quant stuff altogether. I used to be big on digital signal processing and fractional brownian motion, but that stuff only sort of makes money. That stuff is more for confirmation.
What I do now is beat everybody to it. The market is too fast to play it otherwise. I don't find it hard to make short term predictions in an underlying asset. The only thing that is rough is predicting implied volatilities, at say a particular point in time if an underlying's price were to instantly move a lot in my favor.
As far as what I actually trade, I vowed that I would only keep it to the small group that I advise to currently. But if you own a nice company and need a bright guy to work for you, I'm available. I have hedge fund experience too.

anybody that could consistently return 100+% returns ( over years, not months ) would be the greatest investor of all time and would inevitably become the richest man on the planet. Certainly such a person would not be looking for a job.
Wow guys, didn't think that somebody would only read one line of my initial message. Yeah, I just implemented my system, I have not lost a dime yet. We'll see what happens tomorrow because I just took a position. If it keeps up, or it doesn't, I'll be sure to let you know.
The bottom line is, I have a new system that is going to make money more than 50% of the time. Whether or not you want to believe me is a totally different story altogether. All I know is, for the first time in my trading history, I have something that works, and the methodology is based on 13th century and 17th century mathematics that will continue to work for generations to come.
And like I said, I want to find a good job at a prestigious firm because I need to get into business school. I'd gladly take a pay cut if it would assure me getting into a great school because I'll only make more later on because of it.
