Traits of a Trading Assistant

If you really want your system to be executed exactly as it is, why not using automation?

It looks like you are very demanding, perfectionist and enormous ego since you don't even want to think about what could be missing in your system that prevent from being perfect as your wishes. You only look into a possibility of your staff's fault rather than the unpredictable circumstances.

Nothing is perfect, you should be happy and proud of yourself and your staff.

You see. I already started to argue with you, so you can eliminate my candidature as suggested in my previous post.:)
 
This guy is in fantasy land. $1,000 says he's a balding tech support analyst fantasizing about being a "powerful trader" with his team of "assistants."

Just posting something like that on here is telling enough.
 
Quote from syspool:

I swingtrade stocks and I am usually in a stock for 1 to 5 days, on average 3 days. I find it pretty boring sitting in front of the computer for hours watching a dozen stocks.

Although my profits are around 20% per month I prefer to be out during trading hours, tending to family and hobbies. And I travel sometimes and do not always have access to computer. That's why I have a couple of assistants watching my positions.

doesn't seem to add up. how many assistants (plural) does it take to transact the number of exits you'd get with 1-5 day holds on 12 stocks? my conservative estimate is ~500 exits a year which is 2 a day.

Quote from syspool:

I work with Trading Assistants who watch my stock positions in my absence during trading hours. They are to trade only by my simple swing method, mostly exit positions and sometimes enter new ones.

More often than not these "traders" make wrong decisions costing me money in losses and unrealized profits.

I am considering employing people who do not know much or not anything about technical indicators and the stock market to watch my stocks and trade for me.

Can anyone tell me what kind of person I should look for? And what kind of remuneration would be best. So far I used a fixed hourly rate plus a percentage of the profits.

Thanks for your inputs.
