who is trading for a living on ET?

I tradr the EUR/USD Futures full time.

I use a new platfrom called IQ Trader, I understand Morgan Stanley firm now uses it.

I trade my own funds

I also use Currenex platform Spot price with 1 pip spread on all majors. Interbank prices, but I do pay commisiton "its not retail" account $50,000 to trade Currenx Platfrom.

I used to trade s&p and YM.

Trade from London.
 
Quote from ChrisM:

I believe this the truth. Awful truth :D
More...
no, there are many more on the site that i know of, but even if they've seen the thread, there is no compelling reason for them to disclose, all the contrary... and fair enough... in addition there are quite a few around who have taken this to the next level and have 'moved up' the corporate scale, hired execution traders and other trade support type staff, therefore no longer fit the description...

as a user / member of this board, to me the 'intent' of the list if any is to get a better feel for the depth and breadth of relevant hands-on trading experience at this point in time on ET... but yeah, as another poster pointed out, we can certainly live without it, its not that important... have a good week-end all!
