Prop Firms That Care?

  1. From my experience... guys who say they like, love, addicted, his life, and all the other stuff you usually say to girlfriend, about trading, up front, usually lose money in the long run...

  4. LOL... I'm a bad trader... I lose soooo much money... and I am addicted to trading too....

    Trading History:

    Jan. 16 - $1,000,000,000 Account Size
    Jan. 17 - $0

    I suck bad... I was long using all my 10000 to 1 margin....

    ... so you worked at the floor? Liked the intensity...

    LOL... assistant... oh... you were a clerk...

    Clerks rock!!!

    Serious thought... you seem addicted to the intensity not trading...

  5. WDG...yes I was in Goldman Sachs Trader Training Program...only 22 of us picked out of 2,500 applicants....Get a life...your so jealous...I am 24 yrs old and have seen more than you will ever see...

    No, Coke ...Goldman drug tests...hair & urine....

    Anyway, whats wrong with the postion of Clerk as a 22 yr old...right out of college...I dont think you become a specialist over night...besides I was only at each trading arm for 4-8 weeks at a time then I rotated......

    PS: Goldman paid for my trading education...Did you ever take a Candle Sticks Class Taught by Steve Nison....I dont think so because that class costs more than your Credit Card Limit...

  6. LOL...

    I'm sure I've seen more than you... in Chi-town that is...

    Why are you in a prop now? Got fired from GSCO???

    I'm 25 also... retired...

    I used to be in an institution before I started trading my own capital... and I was head-hunted from LA... to Chicago...

    Not hired...

    I'm in a different league as you "KID"

  7. You talk too big for a 24 year old kid, especially one that hasn't managed to earn extra 10,000. Trust me you haven't seen shit in life.

  8. I'm going to stop teasing new traders in the business... it's just not right... you know... still funny...

    Well, I agree that it keeps them going in the business but the passion in itself becomes a holdback in few occasions. It becomes an ego at time and causes you to lose.

    I've had it, still have a lot of it, and I had to change a lot, also continuing to change about trading in myself. I have the passion of trading. It's what I do best in life but there's also a balance of knowing that's not the only thing is life....

    You know what I'm saying, right?

  9. I see that GTT offers retail accounts. So is GTT a member of the NASD?

  10. The retail business is thru Millenium Brokergage out of New York...It states that on the broker service link on the GTT site....and yes they are NASD..
