  1. What age are you now?
    What age did you start?
    What kind of money do you make?
    What age do you see yourself in a different career?
    What career would that be?

    Thanks TC

    On buyside, made almost $100,000
    So far been averaging about $5-6k month since.
    I would like to help people with their finances or plans
    as day trading is very isolating.
    I am open now to a new career or maybe a different direction in the one I am in now. The Buyside dried up due to algorithms. So, that leaves retail. I would love to be set up where clients can make trades unsolicited and I make money. I know it happens. I have a friend who is at LPL that has days where he makes a killing doing nothing.

    I just left the seelside for the buyside. what do you mean it dried up, what were you doing?
     
  7. Trading for managed accounts.

    I read that in 5 years, 80% of trades will be done via algorithms.
