I hear today that Goldman has stopped it's graduate programme. Now if it didn't work for them, it surely isn't working for Schneider/Marex. For anyone wanting to be a trader, there are better ways than a 4-week training course where you go on to an unpaid "position" that drains you of your...

great summation ! having a headless chicken tell you what to do is in fact negative for any aspiring trader. when i left schneider and traded from home, i had to re-learn how to trade. i finally then became profitable. but, yes, the best way is in a small team that's being led by credible leaders !

I have been reading this good article, little off topic though: So is Spread Betting really tax-free?

I promised the wife that I wont get into trouble when I move back to the UK. So, for now I'll be a good boy. But as soon as I've become a more efficient trader, I'll get a surplus 'subsistence income' that will enable me to then spread bet totally tax free. Believe me, I like paying taxes as...

They allocate a max lot size of 40, but limit this to 2 lots on the front spread/fly and 4 further down the curve (obviously you shouldnt use your maximum allocation). Max daily stop loss is USD300. They also suggest that the max your position can go offside is 3 ticks (1 tick is USD20). This...

I was on their course and got to the trading floor. I left after about 4 weeks, when I realised that the probability of making money was very limited doing what I was doing (trading the flies and spreads, brent crude)! I now trade at home, equities and FX, and making money on a daily basis...

I am looking for one/several quality news feed sources, i wonder if anyone can help in guiding me in the right direction? I am a beginner, spread betting FX, equities and commodities. Whilst I concentrate mostly on technical analysis, I would like to keep an eye on the important fundamentals...

Hello trade2win! My name is Luke McLachlan, finally itching that itch and getting myself involved in this crazy world! 7 years of being a company director were so boring. Be prepared for some silly questions. Currently reading High Probability Trading and my learning curve is exponential :arrowu:
