Professional emini trader mentor wanted!!

[pastalady]

I sure do appreciate everyone's advice here. When I ran my company I was always being told (by men) that what I wanted to do couldn't be done. Guess what, I figured out a way to do it!

I am very driven and determined and am used to trying to defy the odds. There was nothing easy about starting a company and there is nothing easy about learning to trade. I succeeded in the first and hope to succeed in the latter.

I realize you are all giving me realistic advice and that most traders fail, but you must admit some do succeed. In fact, I hope that all of you are successful traders who defied the odds!! Maybe I will be one too.

OP, seriously, the ES is arguably the one of the most difficult instruments to trade. The professionals thrive off the amateurs taking every cent they have.

You might be better served cutting your teeth on something that trends more and oscilates less; a thinner market albeit one that is played by the amateurs like yourself.

What makes you a good candidate for this endeavor?

Well the fact he didn't blindly follow Jack Hershey into financial ruin like a drooling moron as you did is a good start.

I got news for you lady. No one makes money trading es. No one on the retail side and I can
prove it to you. Ask any of these volunteering assclowns for audit of their statements for an absulute minimum of 5 years. I assure you not one will comply. Trading the es is akin to gambling. Be extremely cautious with the gamblers who will respond to you as therE is no edge available.

Bottom line is the professionals are not retail. Retail is the promised losers. The unavailability of audited statements is the proof. Also mentally Ill is attracted to es. Be careful!

Quote from biz for years:

oh believe me there is an edge available, in fact there are many available
but getting one for free, I have never seen it in my life. Exactly because of resources needed to find an edge,
you wouldn't believe the stuff I did to learn

you won't get it if you pay for it either since it can't be taught

post your monthly statements for 5 years. Otherwise this is total bullshit. You simply won't and whine complain and twist words as to why you won't or can't. Or simply go away.

Hello,

I recently sold my company and am now trying to start a new career as an S&P emini daytrader.

Anyone who is doing this for a living knows how hard it was to get started, and how much easier it would have been with a mentor, which is what I am hoping to find.

I live in the Northeast and am not afraid to travel to learn, so if there is a kind and generous person willing to take on a bright and serious student, please let me know.

Thanks,
Pastalady

Hello Pastalady,

I too did the same thing about a year ago (although I traded for years before)

Welcome to the adventure. I don't trade the ES very often but NoDoji I think is starting to trade it as well and you may want to contact her. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=132626

I believe she and her hubby sold their company not to long ago as well.

Best of luck to you and your trading

Robert

Quote from biz for years:

you are some internet guy so I won't bother

however I agree with you that without statements its all bullsh!&

but please let us reason together, just like my statement is bullshit without my financial statement

so too you have to realize, you statement that there is no retail edge in ES is equally bullshit

do we agree on that at least ?

ha. I knew you wouldn't do. Truth is you CANt. Niether can anyone else. Stop lying to yourself.

Quote from biz for years:

I like your attitude, in fact it is necessary

YES you can do it

just don't expect other successful traders to show you the ropes (cause u are their competition)

But YES you can do it for sure

Thank you for your vote of confidence! It looks like I will have to get there on my own.

I find it so hard to believe that I could be competition to anyone here trading 5-10 contracts.

Robert Weinstein. You seem like a pretty stable fellow. Do you think there is possible to make money daytrading the es for the retail trader? I have never seen it. Have you?
