My friend, I have seen too much mudslinging on this site to get involved. A failed and disaffected trader has the time and wish to spend too much time bitching, the successes have less time or inclination to get involved, so I have no intention of getting personal with either my name or details...

No fees, profit splits We are very careful about who we take as we in put a lot of time, money and energy in to our trainees. We have looked at the external training model whereby we charge people to train them but we don't think it works for them or for us. If they pay us, we have little...

You are cynical and wrong, my friend Crowd, not croud. Describes not discribes Definitely, not definately Self-education and improvement are prerequisites for success in any endeavour, be it trading or spelling. Effort and discipline are required. I have been training and coaching people for...

You are your 'system', that's all you need As I've stressed before, there ARE thousands of 'systems' that work. The only 'secret' if there is one, is 1. to find a method, risk and time frame that SUITS YOUR PERSONALITY, and then simply (but not easily!) your motivation about why you trade and...

Oh, yes they do ! Defo. I know.

Theory v us! Two comments 1. Could you/we actually DO this, as you say ? Although with the benefit of hindsight it seems to 'come out in the wash', with a loss rate of over 80% and 29 consecutive losses, 99.99% of people would have been mentally and emotionally exhausted by then and therefore...

14 years of success on prop training I'm going to leave this one here for now as we'll all be putting our twopence in forever otherwise. All I can tell you is Marex and the two people that run it, O and S, have by far the best reputation out there. The proof of the pudding is that they have...

Hmmm...odd Contracts are designed to protect the prop house but to develop the trainee too. Obviously, any prop house won't last long if they shaft their trainees. Their future revenues will only come from developing, and keeping, new talent, so it's very much in their interest to keep good...

By many risk adjusted return measures, we could agree that he's faded somewhat over the the last decade. But nevertheless, he's doing something right to be one of the richest people on the planet. However, my point was more to illustrate that whatever method you choose, the key is that is...

Sounds promising Well done, you've done better than most. The question of course is really HOW did you make it ? Ideally, steadily, with a win rate of about 50% or more, with the winners being several times bigger than the losers and cutting losses small and ruthlessly EVERY time ?

Doesn't matter ! The basics are strong and the right motivation, and discipline. That cuts out 90% of wannabe traders. Everyone always asks 'What's the best method/strategy?' I don't know why, perhaps it's because from that comes confidence, security, a rule based system that one can have the...

Yourself ?! Hi Isabel Don't waste your money on training courses. They charge between £3,000-20,000 and you could learn more from books and paper trading than what they 'teach' you. Not to mention that these companies will not only promise you the earth, but suck you in to a £3,000 course, get...

You can make millions or lose everything (money and time) There are LOTS of ways to make a lot of money, including but not only trading. The secret is that whatever you do, you MUST LOVE it. Eat it, drink it, sleep it, breathe it...Follow your passion. And don't do it for the money. Get...

We're all saying the same ! Looks like all us old farts are telling you the same thing ! you must be sick of it (please someone tell me what I WANT to hear!!) My sons are 20 and 22 and I've always said do your degree, then if you want to learn trading/investing, maybe I'll teach you then...

Many reasons There are many reasons, both financial and emotional. Emotionally, because I've traded for 25-30 years, with many breaks, I'm bored of looking at computers and trading. Trading has been fantastically good to me and I've enjoyed it, but I'm not passionate about it any more and...
