So you decided to call a bunch of traders losers just because they are not clean shaven and neat. Instead of actually looking at their p&l, question their trading style, or the firm's platform/execution. You are the only fucking loser here.
Exactly...and most prop firms are just hang-outs for the unemployed who happen to have both time and money.
This thread has the best title ever. I agree, I've been the cbot elevators with guys who just looked like shit and smelled like booze.
When I'm at home trading I never shave, wear old T shirts, eat where ever I want, and walk around in boxers. BUT I am very big on working out and running. Just got back from a 10 mile run actually.
Thats how prop shops are - I worked in one also before trading my personal futures account at home - fortunately I was offered a position at a major BB I-BANK here in NYC - so trading there is much more professional, people have class, manners, and dress in typical business casual attire THAN MY LAST PROP SHOP - .... the differences..
