I would add that what BigBooty has stated is complete rubbish... in my opinion.
If you have been successful at Poker it shows you have the most necessary skill in being a competent trader..... Discipline.
Let me cut your reading/studying/appraisal process down by say 5 years (but don't stop...
Sam,
Very tough getting into the industry at the moment without a lot of experience or with a potent client bank.
What is your financial situation? If you have made money playing poker... could you use a proportion of this and start trading for yourself?
I note that Futex - who Trader Dante has gone back to work for (why?) - are trying to charge people 16 grand to complete a Msc in Prop Trading.
haha very good.
The big difference between China and Japan is simple..... population.
China is over 10 times the size of Japan in terms of populous and looking at it from another angle... Japan has a similar population to blighty.
China will have a middle class, that drive local demand, that is 3 or 4 times...
Also... why leave Futex... repeatedly spoke of his hate for the place and the rules etc... and then go back?
Surely he is doing so well with his own trading he should have started his own version of Futex?
Nice talk, but absolutely irrelevant to this conversation.
Could we specifically discuss why he does not prove he profits.. that is all I am discussing not his system, which I have repeatedly praised, his motives I cannot really understand until I see his P&L.
That is fair enough, and I am convinced his system works... I have read his original thread and also checked on his tweets.
I remain unconvinced that he makes it pay personally.
Not a chance in hell you would go from the comfort, flexibility and freedom of just making a good living by trading...
Could be a myriad of reasons, Taxman cometh maybe the primary one.
But of course, the increase in sign-ups and coverage of your system would far outweigh any liabilities.
Maybe you could elaborate?
Ok my point is this...
If I am making profits by now selling my system, and the more of this system I sell... the more money I make... why oh why oh why would you not multiply your sign up tenfold over night by consolidating statement from brokers to PROVE profit?
This post is nothing to do...
