There is so much jealousy here, from below average IQ traders who could not get into the Ivy League or Oxbridge and who are probably in some dead-end in $75k job that a monkey could do.

Quote from canarywharf:
I am a very successful 23 year old trader at a large investment babk in London.
This year I made a base of £120k plus a bonus confirmed as £200k.
My mate mentioned this site to me, since I wish to trade for myself.
I will be putting up around £300k (around $500k) of my own money to fund a small trading account. I am only looking to generate around 20% in my first year as a self employed trader, looking to compound up over later years. Is this feasible?
So far, you don't want to even mention what it is that you trade. Fine.Quote from canarywharf:

In that case, what did you study? Could you tell the audience here what is the name of the street where the Math building is? Physics building?
