r would they be thrown out of the game for being "silly" Could someone be silent silly with body/facial expressions ? I.e. wear a pair of glasses with intermittent wash wipers, with spinning bow tie ? As far as wearing silly glasses you need not travel far. Look at 2004 WSOP Main event...

showdown percentages under 50%? I realize that a certain amount of showdowns may not have been action hands, meaning they were checked down, or all in calls preflop ( w/ low stakes involved), but generally if I am making decent money I need 75% of showdowns to go my way... I have no problem...

I thought about that however I don't think I care all that much how a guy was playing 2 months ago, or last week as much as today. At the end of an 8 hour run, incurring bad beats, I've seen strong players ( whom I'd played with on several occasions ) look like donks. Consistency is a strength...

Let me see if I am understanding the basics of the crush... when the spread between Soybeans & meal and BO narrow, this means that the profits are less abundant in soybeans and more so in BO and Meal products. By selling beans and buying meal and oil, a processor or speculator is trading the...

If he were a poor player hed be betting his Kojack like he had flopped a set, or worse yet, slow playing it because he thinks he has IT. The strong player sits there with his high pair, highest kicker wondering what this guy really knows about the game. It comes down to remembering how this...

On the subject of rebuying I think it is imperative. If you have been sucked out on or dueched as we say, the odds are now in your favor if you play sound poker. Ill never sit at a cash table with my whole bankroll (obviously), and I will never sit at a cash table with less than 3 or 4 full...

Both poker and tradng require calculated risks and well timed aggressions. Techical analysis and backtesting are like knowing the odds to every preflop hand, watching the market twist and turn all day is like seeing your odds diminish or appreciate with every card on the flop, turn and river...

I have been looking into this group. Took a test or two but cannot seem find all that much information on them. A couple people have posted bad comments, referring to them as a scam company but I take what I read with a grain of salt until confirmed. Wondering if anybody has come into contact...

Great reputation and good people as well. From what I understand they they are quite a strong firm.

I agree with trader333. Like Randolph Bourne said, "War is the health of the state". Perhaps what this country is another "splendid little war" - John Hay

Could someone also suggest a good strategy to trade the fast moving eMini S&P on Nonfarm payrolls or the Fed meeting days, or provide a link to a good article on the subject? TIA. First I would read a couple books on e-mini strategy; John Carter's mastering the trade comes to mind as a decent...

Appreciated all. As far mathematics and logic tests go, should I be expecting mental arithmetic or given paper and pens. Im sure this type of thing varies by firm, but just looking to hear some feedback. Are the logic tests by numbers, puzzles, riddles or combination?

Just looking to get some more advise on first and second interviews at prop trading firms, shops, or arcades. What sort of things does the applicant bring with him or her? If you have been trading do you bring statements, or do you want the firm to even know you have been trading? Would a guy...
