  1. 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.


  2. 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.


  3. I'm stuck between OEC since I love their chart trading.

     

    OR---

     

    IB with quotetrader software as a free platform.

     

    OR---

     

    Infinity AT and Tradestation for charting. I love TS charting and would have to throw them 10 trades per month.

     

    I really like the OEC setup but then I'm stuck in the same boat as Tradestation and can only trade futures. I do like with IB that I can have a universal account and trade equities as well as futures with one account.

     

    I'm going to be leaving Tradestation this month so I can start the new year fresh so I'll be doing some heavy research.

     

     

    Keep us abreast of your research findings...


  4. 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...
