    Oh, that hedge fund....you were on the cover of Businessweek as the new Wizard of Wall Street....managing 1.3 billion in Russian oil money, right?. News Flash... people who are actually making real money seldom have time to play in this Romper Room site populated by 42 year olds living in Mom's basement tying to compare penis ....oh I mean profit sizes with the rest of the 15 year olds.,

  2. That's true. We can agree on that. I'm happy playing here with my 1k a day average lunch money. No desire to look at, or deal with people. That's s all I need and the scalability is very workable

  4. You could start by reading books on automated trading systems. If you read enough of them eventually something will click.

    Books...sure a place to start. However keep in mind that those who write books usually do so because they can make more money writing a book than trading the market....which says a lot about those selling super duper trading systems for $79.95 with free shipping if you order before midnight...

  6. Yes, each time the same method:
    1. create an account
    2. don't use it for a few years
    3. and then start posting
    4. and always the same type of question
    Why would people create an account, never post and then suddenly after years ask: how can I make money?
    What did this poster do all these years? he should have asked this question when he opened his account.
    I heard rumours that somebody is paying somebody else to do this. One of these somebodies is Marketsurfer.

  7. No one is going to give you there current money making strategy but there are reputable sources for learning about technical analysis, quant analysis, statistics, trading systems and programming etc. What you do with that information and how you combine it into a strategy is entirely up to you.

  8. I started lurking in year 2001 and only got myself membership in 2003 because i needed to have account to do a search on this forum.In those days people posted things that allowed me to learn and they shared their "discovery process" and discussions were of so much value.That was the only reason to do " search " on members past posts,no posts of my own.So there are legit reasons to be a member and at the same not to post.Me i am selfish i wanted to analyze what others posted,learn from it but i forgot about sharing and i am sure there are few from those days that did the same thing.People learned to trade and shared the process and it was very genuine learning.I am thankful for this more than i be able to repay.

    Sure, but:

    1. What the OP is asking is really a very imbecile question.Just about similar to: "Hey guys, where can I pick up golden nuggets in the Sierra?" Yeah, I am going to give you the coordinates, just hold on for a moment...

    2. He never followed up on his question, hell he didn't even log in since a week ago. Must be pretty interested in the answer...

    All in all, the thread doesn't seem to be genuine...So let's put it to rest...

  10. I've been researching this question myself and stumbled onto this site http://www.swingtradesystems.com/ All about how YOU gotta do it yourself. No shortcuts in trading just like in life. Too much work, easier to just pay for someone else's tried and true system, huh?
