If I heard of a prop firm that advertised that over 50% of their traders made net profits for the calendar year of 2001 due to their unique market neutral tape reading strategy, I would probably go work for them. But nobody makes such a claim.
I think I heard that All - Tech makes a claim exceeding that. I can't swear to it, but I am sure there must be someone here that is familiar with them. I think they trade large size for pennies on their own ecn....Attain? I don't know if they make their money on p&l or order flow. But supposedly they do make money.Originally posted by dotslashfuture

I'll bite...of course over 50% of our experienced traders made money in 2001? Why wouldn't they? More than 50%, but we can't count the "newbies" still in their learning curve. Remember, we trade primarily NYSE listed, so we weren't subject to the OtC pitfalls.

Don, why are you playing dumb? Check out my Sleepless Nights thread, I don't see any need for me to post statistics or anything else since I posted that realtime journal. There you will find a real life sample of about 20 or more of my trades. All but 1 was predicted correctly.

Everything I use, I discovered myself. Only later did I find that there was a theory to support it.
