  1. If I heard of a prop firm that advertised that over 50% of their traders made net profits for the calendar year of 2001 due to their unique market neutral tape reading strategy, I would probably go work for them. But nobody makes such a claim.

    I think I heard that All - Tech makes a claim exceeding that. I can't swear to it, but I am sure there must be someone here that is familiar with them. I think they trade large size for pennies on their own ecn....Attain? I don't know if they make their money on p&l or order flow. But supposedly they do make money.
    Let me know if you find out more.
    Thanks,

  3. I'll bite...of course over 50% of our experienced traders made money in 2001? Why wouldn't they? More than 50%, but we can't count the "newbies" still in their learning curve. Remember, we trade primarily NYSE listed, so we weren't subject to the OtC pitfalls.

    Yeah. Making lots of $$$ does NOT involve thinking properly. LOL

    Playing dumb? My gardening friend is real and I am pallid and emaciated at 22. Sleepless nights looks good: how do you figure the gap will happen? What ideas do you use?

  7. Heck that wasn't even a good dead cat bounce, let alone a bear market rally and let alone a bottom. Now we're on the way to retesting the lows.

    i use chinese theories
    fibonacci theory
    elliot theory
    chaos math
    mechanical theory
    and more.

    Everything I use, I discovered myself. Only later did I find that there was a theory to support it.

  9. Why not simply look at the S&P futures like everyone else? That way you can sleep at night....we like gaps in the morning, and yet we play the openings whether there is a gap or not.

    (Again, not trying to rile you, I guess I'm just too lazy to get involved in all of that "thinking" )..:)
