person: "so what is that you do for a living" me:"I trade stocks and try to make a profit" person:"so you are a stock broker" me:"No, I do not contact customers and give stock advice or actually buy or sell stocks for others" person:"so you trade your own money then?" me:"Yes and I no. I trade my money the firm's capital but I always have a stake of my own my money invested too" person:"where does the capital come from?" question after question.... --------------------------------- lol sorry for the poor mock convo but how do you prop guys even explain what you actually do for a living?
well i'm not a prop trader but from what you have above i'll take a guess: i trade stocks for profit with proprietary leverage from my firm. they loan me money to trade. what more is there?
lol... that's a good post. I get that all the time. person: what do you mean you make your own hours? trader: let me buy you another drink
