Weekly Poll: Market Is Flat Year-To-Date, Where To Next?

[tradingjournals]

Quote from shortie:

~ flat week but plenty of action: first bears got screwed, then bulls got shafted, then on Fri both got shafted.

You did not mention Thursday, which I would also add to Friday in the "confused" category (I use the word confused for days like this Thursday and Friday---Friday my posts starting on Wednesday night which used the word "confused").

Actually this week was great for my style of trading and my forecasting. I was in complete harmony with the stock market.

I wish I have a fat wallet to milk it the way my predictions deserved.

How do you guys get more of the trading capital?

have you asked around about the prop firms that specialize in options? i don't know anything about it but something was mentioned on ET somewhere

Thank you shortie.. I did not. I understand from your response that the regular props do not offer options as part of the arsenal, and that you may have a feeling that I use them in my trading.

Do people in here deal with retail/non professional traders, or run funds?

Me? I'm just an amateur who is trading small and trying to be consistant.

The market is probably one of the rare places where a man has more chances to start big and end smaller, and a low chance to start small and get bigger. I think fortunate are amateurs that start small and get bigger, with a focus on consistency.
