Paul Redmond Age: 28 Firm: Rooster Trading City: London Trades: DAX futures Trading up TO 4,000 lots a day in the fast-moving DAX futures market, Redmond is quickly cementing his legend. Raised in Iraq, he later moved to Ireland. He started at Dublin’s Geneva Trading in September 2001, deftly handling the frenzied post-9/11 equities market and earning the sobriquet “The Rooster” for his cocky behavior. The following spring, he switched to the DAX and began steadily increasing his volume from four lots per trade to 4,000 lots per day, which market participants say is exceptional. Now based in London, Redmond runs his own three-member firm and reportedly rakes in as much as $20,000 a session. He has also begun training younger traders, teaching them how to manage the enhanced risk that comes with sizable positions — risk, he says, that his youth helps him handle. “When you’re young, you’ve got nothing to lose,” he says. “You’ve got no kids. You can start again.” Given his performance so far, though, we doubt he’ll need to do so.

thanks again soultrader!

I am not a computer guru, but I do have a mac notebook. Would "trading" through an apple setup be slower, or worse in any way? (when running the parallel setup) I am looking to buy a desktop setup, and I would love to go with a apple setup if it is on equal footing with a pc setup.

I am very excited about this thread. I am about to enter into a MP "educational phase". Would you adivse reading the books in the order you listed them above?

any update on the software?

I dont know if this is the proper place for this thread, but is anyone using an apple computer to trade? I havent done much research yet, so I dont know if the different trading platforms will even operate through an apple setup... ?

Keep us abreast of your research findings...

looks interesting

After reading on these forums about VSA, I am wanting to take my education a little deeper with regards to VSA. What would be the steps you would advise me to take? Is tradeguider the "main" site for VSA? Thanks for the insight...

what are the DAX and STOXX trading hours? (est)

I am looking for a foreign futures contract to start to follow and eventually trade. I am looking for something that would trade before normal us market hours. (9-5) Looking into the DAX...any other suggestions...
