Quick Note--

 

Just posting my intro

 

Trade DAX, ES.

 

Situated in Australia. Currently making the transition from working full-time (finance) and trading my own equity, to move into a proprietary trading firm.

 

Soultrader - nice forum, great diversity - hats off to creating something like this in your spare time.

 

Cheers,

Welcome, what made you decide to go prop?

 

Hi James,

 

Key reasons:

 

-Trading with others around (social / support aspect)

-Access to more equity

-Cheaper commissions

 

and to be completely honest:

-Little 'wary' of ending my 'working life' to trade at home (I'm reasonably young).

 

Cheers

How are you finding the DAX right now smwinc? I am finding it a bit thin and erratic. Pretty much shelved it for a bit.

 

Yes. Haven't traded much this morning. 25 trades. I'm going to get some sleep shortly before the ES open.

 

Currently long @ 8012, as at 6:43. I might change my opinion, but for the moment I think we're just accumulating.

 

Do you trade US also, or just DAX?

Pretty much focused on the ES right now. Funnily enough I was going to try the DAX this morning (I am UK based) but thought Id swing by here instead.

 

Another problem with the DAX is around expiration you often get loads of Block trades showing on the tape. Really messes up analysis that uses volume.

 

Cheers.

Yes. With regards to volume, I tend to watch the ESTX50, DAX, ES and EUR together. Helps me not lose the plot.

 

Completely agree about expiration causing problems.

 

Good hit of economic news pre-market should spice things up later on.

 

I'm in the chatroom if you're going to be hanging around.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
