  2. I was on a trading desk in NYC, 1998-2003, then went on my own as an independent trader. Only job I ever had. LOTS of casualties during those first five years.

    I was lucky. I definitely would never make it if I started today, since those initial resources are mostly gone. And there is so much garbage out there...

    I am so happy for you. If I can start my life over, I would definitely try to be a professional trader like you.

    What instruments do you trade?

    A few years back, I developed a method using options to speculate on special situations, seek highly asymmetric investments, in which the potential profit greatly exceeds potential loss....

  4. Stock Index Futures, and a portfolio of US equities, ETFs, and leveraged ETFs.

    I began as a NASDAQ daytrader, so lots of "adaptations", but I am OK now.

    I was premed, but picked up "The Market Wizards", and never looked back...

    My day trading profits are also hidden, like your ammo. I can't find them. :mad:

  10. I will let you know in around 9 months. I will be spending some time in Argentina, as well.

    Speaking of bicycles, what happened to "DoorDash Vinnie NYC"?

    Did he get run over? He is probably delivering OToro, Uni, and Unagi :D
