Good morning!!!
To 'jsese':
Thank you so much for responding to my post.
I beg of you though: PLEASE do not 'dissapear' from here i.e. someone with your background and experience by virtue of the fact that you've actually WORKED at some of these firms could offer some invaluable insight into what it's REALLY like to be 'in the big league'!!!
As far as risk goes: I'm following my own 'watered down' version of Wilder's money management rules and I can tell you that I believe I've found 'the sweet spot'. What I'm saying is that I am definitely not (or rather don't believe) that I am taking unacceptable risks with my or my clients money (anymore that is). That's why it'd be real nice if you took a look at the thread and maybe passed a comment or two even if you're not interested in 'joining the club' as it were.
Why would I want to work for one of those firms??? 'Feather in my cap' I suppose i.e. 'status elevation'. I mean: what's the chances of someone like me who lost THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of USD within the space of a year then 'turning things around' the next year to the point where you'd even be CONSIDERED for a job as a hedge fund manager or trader at one of those prestigious firms!!! See why???
Put it another way:
Here is a link that gives pretty much every details of my 'trading life' last year:
Parabolic SAR - that's all!. Compare THAT to where I'm 'at' now and you'll see what I'm getting at!!! (Of course: only do this is you have LOADS of 'useless' time on your hands i.e. that thread is well over 200 pages long)!!!
