Gifted trader: Andy Priston

  1. Yeah, if these women are the very best he can do then I must insist on seeing brokerage statements. At the very least he could hire some high grade prostitutes instead of swinging with some low grade chunky chicks.

    I not only dont see the point of this thread, I dont see the point of this website where I have half the members on ignore.

    Priston’s trading is said to account
    for as much as :eek: :eek: :eek: eight percent of monthly
    trading activity in the Eurodollar futures
    contract on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

    The 28-year-old reportedly earns as much as
    $15 million per year and recently appeared
    in the annual Sunday Times list of richest
    Brits.

  4. I'm sure you are lining up far better-looking women every day of the week, lol. Typical internet BS.

    P.S. 'high grade prostitute' is an oxymoron.

    Yes. Traded at Refco/Mac. The London guys from Mac would visit Chicago a few times. Got to speak with him a bunch of times. Cool guy....was by far the best trader in that company.

    I think you're gushing too much. If he's made that cash (and it's always a big when the media talk about traders, remember they're selling stories, not always facts) then he's good, very good but up against many others in this business he's a in the lower Leagues.

    I stand corrected....the few times I traded on the same desk with him at Refco he was trading mostly Bunds. He traded very large positions...nobody traded the Eurodollar there. Must have been post Mac.

    Hi ! And do you know how he traded? I mean , 2000 lots in bund looking for 3-5 ticks , outrights, spreads, flipping :confused:...

    ¿ Did he mainly watch DOM?

    I've been told that he's now trading the ES in lots of 500-1000 in Montreal.

    Thank u very much.

  9. This is ridiculous in it's face. You don't really believe any individual (even the head trader at a large institution) could ever be responsible for "a major percentage".
