Do you have to go to the top 20 universities to be a investment banker?

Oh excuse me - Cardiff is even worse than Northern

LOL

MM isn't trading it's bullshiet.

bet that Foffex is really frustrated that he can't trade for real but has to make pips and paps off other bums.

YUK, Pooi !

CTA all the way MotherF's.

You're missing the point. A 'good internet connection' is insufficient. We're talking about execution in a matter of microseconds and colocation. One man in his bedroom is unlikely to have access to that unless he is very rich - and if he was that rich, many would argue why he doesn't just invest traditionally rather than trade.

I have never 'paid to the firms'. I didn't have to pay for any training etc. I am being paid by them. Otherwise, what would be in it for me?

So PMMs do not trade? You might want to read up on that.

If I couldn't 'trade for real' then what would be the point of the company paying for me to have taken certification exams with the exchange? In fact, much of my motivation for choosing a prop over an IB desk was that I could trade sooner, in similar size.

Don't need to.

I sat in a room full of them.

No it's not real trading and you know it.

That is why you are here - to discharge your frustrations and to fish for praise to sooth those frustrations.

Sit on the Bid offer, pick up pips and paps all day long, ride a few if it goes your way.

Don't try it on, man i know all your BS tricks.

MM= monotonous, boring, semi skilled work and that IS why you are employed. It requires no real intellect whatsoever and you hide behind your MM facilities.

Real men trade outright, full stop.

How will you respond to this crushing blow?

Now that you've set the benchmark for all universities North of Cardiff being rinky dinky, I assume LSE and Imperial now occupy the top two spots on the Times Good University Guide, with Cambridge and Oxford occupying rinky dinky status somewhere around 50th place?

Don't need to.

I said Cardiff IS rinky dink, get that through your thick skull.

Are you welsh ?

Oh dear...

You're a frustrated ' market maker '/ scraper.

You're not a real trader full stop.

What you mean Rich men don't trade ?

Heard of Mike Stienhardt, Randy Mackay, Michael Marcus?

They ain't poofter Mmakers you know.

Christ. Welcome to TSR, if you're not at a target uni then you're penalised for being not good enough, and if you don't know what a target uni then you have no chance. Apparently.

Answer the boy's question instead of being a douchebag...

Plz lrn 2 jografee.

You thick, opinionated little bell.

Rinky dink Northern universities.

I would love to smash your face in with a Newcastle University prospectus.

No, I'm not Welsh.

And what do you think is more profitable then? How come the top MMs are more profitable per capita than many position-taking desks? What falls under 'real trading'? And why did you think trading required 'intellect'?

The praise comes in the form of the bonus; not from the opinions of people on here.

TBH, you sound like the one that's frustrated.

Top MM's my arse. That's an oxymoron or perhaps just a plain moron in this case.

What profit ? Whose ' trading desk ' ?

if you don't know what real direct trading or intellect is then you need to come out from underneath your MM's skirt to find out.

LOL

hahahaha

well I may be coming to london in Oct.

So if I do let's get in a cage honey.

lol, did you just finish Market Wizards? those guys did exactly the kind of thing that the prop firms we are talking about do today...exploit marginal inefficiencies. it turned out they weren't BSD traders but just following the right strategy at the right time.

Tbf, Steinhardt was close to a "real trader" but some of the stuff he did then would almost certainly be illegal today. I also don't think you should respect someone who goes on CNBC to whine about how Warren Buffet gets more respect than him.

I think the line between MMing and "real" trading is a lot thinner than you seem to think. What IBs do is clearly marketmaking but what places like Optiver do probably isn't (thats why they are called prop firms not brokers) and about 20 years ago probably would have been called "real" trading. to put in market wizards terms think the Ritchie Bros and CRT.

Crap and you know it.

CRT are owner/traders unlike you that hides behind a 'prop' shop.

Get out and do your own thing if you are a real trader.

You can't bluff, you spend too much time here to be a trader, You are a MM - whole different thing.

Steinhardt was an outright trader like most of the MWs and you F'g know it. stop feigning BS ignorance games.

You couldn't cut it as a real trader so its MM shiet.



I know I can see from the way you type.


NO, YOU think the line between MMing and "real" trading is a lot thinner.

I am very clear what both are.

What IBs do and what places like Optiver do is roughly similar except IB's have clients to cheat whereas people like have to scalp 1/2 pips 100 times a day.

BORING SHIET AND YOU KNOW IT.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE

YOU LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT, I KNOW YOU ARE.


it's bum's work but carry on, it's your life.

I don't give 2 you know whats.
