    Thanks for the vote of confidence BUT I'm no wiz kid trader that's for certain, I may be a "decent" trader but far from a super trader.

    I'm 19 and have been trading for about 5 years now. I started out not knowing what the hell I was doing, but I've definitely learned a lot since then. I'm originally from Dallas, but now I am in Atlanta going to school at GA Tech for EE and Business degrees. I plan to retire by 25. :D

    20, Seattle, WA; going to UW, applying for business school (finance) this qtr. Actively trading for 5mo. now, not consistently winning, but not losing much either due to a fair risk-reward money management strategy w/positive expectancy and effective position sizing. (2% portfolio risk/6% exposure, stops max. 7% if not tighter)

    Position trading US Equities and derivatives, but looking forward to learning about futures & forex. Also find myself gravitating toward shorter-term trades swing/intra-day in choppy market times b/c my strategy is a bit trend-biased.

    Obsessively learning about everything, doing huge amounts of reading from the classics (Murphy, Douglas, Elder, Lefvre, etc) and paper-trading a mock account on Investopedia to test my strategies. Just started a simulated account for an IRA, as I will be managing my buddy's Roth IRA in April. (1.25% port. risk, 5% exposure, w/goal of 10% consistent returns annually, 62% ETF, 38% select stocks) It's a start ;) I've heard that IB has a real-time simulator that I'd like to get into, but their website says a $2000 initial deposit would be required to set up an account, is that true?

    Currently reading about game theory : Thinking Strategically by Dixit and Nalebuff.
