This entire thing sounds like one of those usual "training program" scams. The guy's who run such firms are only gifted at public speaking - not trading. They trick people into attending "free seminars", and "employment opportunities", and then lay the smack down once they have you hooked by...

Do you folks think my trading results suggest that my strategy is long-term profitable (taking EV, and risk management into account - I never risk more than 2% per trade, and don't use any Martingale nonsense, but it DOES result in a large drawdown because of negative consecutive runs). You can...

Indeed you are correct, lol! There WAS a zero missing, and it's been corrected. Though still a pretty impressive system I'd say =p Then again, you know how it is... these kinds of ideas usually just look good on paper, lol.

Well, I know the formula for calculating expected value, but the fact that the winning trades are held longer than the losing trades is what's confusing me - I was trying to adjust the formula for that. I don't think the "discount factor" will help with that because I am not factoring interest...

Hi everyone. I am trying to figure out the expected value for a hypothetical stock market trading system. I don't know if this question falls under basic algebra, or statistic, or what, but here is are the inputs: Total business (trading) days in a year: 252 Size of average profit: $2000 (10...

How exactly is that a "stupid" question? Do you REALLY think a legit licenced broker would let some random "hedge fund" or "trading firm" inquire about the legitimacey of some OTHER trader's records??? Are you SERIOUS? Now THAT would be STUPID. Any emails from your broker could be fakes too...

LOL!!! Well then, I suppose I DO qualify as a "high roller". Hope there were more than 5 players at the tourney.

OUCH! Come on. Try me... What was the buy-in?

What was the buy-in, btw? Or was it fake chips?

6 PM UK time??? OH NO! I missed it!!!! :( DAMMMNN!!! I really wanted to bust out many players with my recklessly loose style of playing! Is there going to be another tourney soon?

Hi hotheadedbull, I emailed my resume over last week, and received a positive response from Alex Milrud, but am still wondering if you folks are considering me? I suppose I haven't received any further updates because of your busy schedule so I will continue to wait. Btw, various messages...

Hey traderfunding, me again. I just read this in your profile, "Our goal for multi-advisor programs it to reduce the overall volatility..." What is this "multi-advisor PROGRAM" you refer to? Something you charge money for? Do the traders you recruit go through this progam? How much is it? I...

How do you determine if the records were fabricated, or not? They would still have to demo for 15 - 45 days (as you stated in a previous post) so why accept trading records at all? I am just curious. I can PM you some info about me if you prefer.

Hey glbsJack, I was caught up in an AAPL trade before, but definitely appreciate your quick and forthcoming reply. I will private message you my info soon.

Hi, are you possibly hiring EXPERIENCED NON-high frequency intraday traders - i.e, intraday momentum/breakout traders who execute an average of 5 to 10 trades per day... as opposed to a trader who is focused on exchange rebates and primarily "trades the tape" using time & sales, and level II? Or...
