Try doing in your head the value of 100 stocks before the NDX does. That's what I'd call wicked maths skills.
Graduated in the summer of 2001, got recruited by a prop firm(now bankrupt) for a trading position. I didn't know what it was but liked the idea and the promise of big money. Still trading now, took me one year to get profitable. Now I'm making minimum wage if I avg. the hours I trade each day. I'm looking forward to getting to he next level.
I started trading at 24 years of age. Lost my butt for a year straight have been making money since (for about 5 years) but it has been a real grind. A lot of ups and downs. Not sure what I got myself into...but what else am I going to do for a living? One day you feel like the king of the world the next you feel like killing yourself. thats trading M
