It's been a year later and I'm still here trading live, are you guys going to hire me or what?
Depth Trade, unless verifiable statements can be provided, we can't move forward. I know we discussed the possibility of statements being faked (and we've had traders provide us with fake statements in the past), but it is just one more piece of information that is an essential [and normal] part of the due diligence process. There are ways to verify if statements are fake or not and we've never had a problem verfying it.

If you ever change your position on providing statements in the future, please let me know; if not, there's nothing I can do.

I wish you the best regardless of what you decide to do.

Your not going to be able to find a trader, your completely blind and haven't the slightest idea what's going on or what to look for.

I am the only one with live verifiable trades, but your so insecure you don't even trust your own judgement, you need a 3rd person to verify and TELL you what to do.


Your profile picture tells everything, we know who wears the pants in that family.

We're looking for a wide variety of forex (no arbitrage or news traders) and futures traders with verifiable statements. Plese PM me only if you have live statements. Demo statements don't count.

You must complete our due diligence questionnaire and meet other requirements that will be provided after the initial discussions.

Traders that are accepted get to trade a test account for the first 15 to 45 days, whose size depends on a trader's experience and results. If they perform within historical norms, they get additional allocations every month until either a substantial amount of capital is allocated or they reach a saturation point in terms of liquidity.

If interested, please PM email address and a bit of information about the type of trading you do, lenght of real track record, experience, and results.

Cheers!
You couldn't pay me enough to justify it

I am a bit curious here Depth Trade.
Why do you want to be hired by these people?
I might not make a massive amount of money from trading but make enough to never want to give up the the freedom and joy of not working for anyone.
Judging from your Posts and comments you do not need to be employed so why?

Because I can get the job done correctly and that's what this is all about.

Tf, want to apologize for the last comment, it probably sounds a bit unprofessional.

I was ticked off a bit that you hung up the phone on me the last time I called you. After the fact that I was calling, trying to advise you on fraudulent statements.

Who know's, maybe the phone just disconnected.

I hadn't checked this thread in a while. Almost pissed in pants laughing when I read this. My male ego is not really affected by letting my wife wear the pants, especially if it leads to hot, steamy sex from a Cuban babe every night. Ha. Ha. Your third grade comments are hilarious though. Keep'em coming!

You're right, Sweepy. This is not for everyone; especially not for very short term traders who are not really scalable and won't really benefit from additional capital (e.g., aggressive scalpers). A trader whose style is more scalable and does not mind to trade a much larger capital base, might find this attractive.

The argument between managing OPM or trading your own account is as old as mankind. There's no one-size-fits-all solution for every single trader.

It's just one of those profound ironies of human nature.

Hey; no offense taken. It was freaking funny though.
