Longest winning streak?

  1. I work at a firm in Austin, and one of our traders has gone 170 days without a losing day. Has anyone, or does anyone know anyone who has ever beaten this?

    if he doesnt have alosing day, then he is not pushing the enevelop enough. Probally should be making 3x more.
     
  3. Does he get out of all position at the end of the day?
     
  4. thats quite a streak. hope he was upping size every day..otherwise whats the point.
     
  5. He doesnt take overnights, and averages 1-2k a day
     
  6. What does he trade?

    Does he use more or less leverage than other traders in your office?

    Hope you don't mind the questions. Your friend sounds like a winner, and I always like hearing about winners.
     
  7. very nice. I think being consistent like that is better than swinging huge trades with more risks.

    My longest winning streak was about 20 days :( then got met with a huge streak of losses.
     
  8. he has $200k buying power, he trades mainly amex stocks
     
  9. 80 days is my best up streak, from late nov 05 until late march 06.

    he should find some more buying power, he could be making millions instead of just living nicely
