  1. Hi,

    I'm looking to find people who scalp equities that have a proven track record. What would be the best way to find these people?

    Thanks
     
  2. Why do you want to hang with them? Scalpers are a real nervous frenetic bunch , they can't sit still (ADD) :D
     
  3. bespoke

    walk into every prop firm in your area and ask the owners/managers if you can speak with their profitable traders
     
  4. Well I appreciate the advice, but I was kinda looking to do it a more formal way. Like how would I hedge fund seek to find profitable traders
     
  5. do not even care what they say...ask for an audited or real track record and see it from there.

    Beware here...you'll get some nutters tellnig you they are the worlds best traders, that do not trade.

    Why are you seeking such traders? You aren't Doug Allen in disguise are you?
     
  6. not on a forum....they'd find them word of mouth, brokers, LOL
