ps if we do break out north, dont be surprised by the 3146 area return mentioned earlier.. its just normal pa.. maybe a 3311 or 3348 rejection, r the mid of them..we are under 3274 the major mid point.. the upper mid is 3311.. L at 3237.6.. we have broken candles.. these are a high probability bs moves. they usually don't hold. so a reversal to get momentum is the norm. 3291 was what i had for a break, we got above it.. is it a break or not..i don't know.. i have had them go both ways before.

one thing for certain. i doubt few would argue that 3292.5 is not just another #... as silly as its sounds 2962 and 3587 has been posted since jan. 1 i think.. so my charts start and stop there.. the noise is between.. 3274 is the mid i call the mofu. the levels already posted.. sissy has something near 3311 from the method he uses.. completely different from me.
anyway the current top is just a mid.. simply take the 3274 and subtract it from 3311.... the mid of those 2 levels is the current high. since these were posted long ago.. is it live or memorex?
those who can, do. those who cant, talk about those who can

Yeah.

Don't be jealous dude it takes a while. I graduated last June and only started with these guys a couple weeks ago.

It's very hard to get into the business because most firms want you to be licensed before hand, however you need to be employed by a firm to sit for your licensing exams.

I'm a very laid back individual and it is difficult for me to integrate myself into a high stress corporate environment.

I can see it being cool once I've moved up and am one of the big swinging-dicks, but that would take such a long time.

An attractive alternative would be to work some BS job and develop as a trader.

Just when I was starting to get really good at trading (specializing in NY open) I now can't devote any more time to that and will be restricted to placing orders during Tokyo.

I am considering moving to options. Most of the trading done at my firm is based around equity options and the strategies that they employ seem so much easier than forex.

The CEO actually ridiculed me for being a forex trader and forbade me from mentioning it at the firm.

I havent graduated yet, but I was looking at various options. The really good places have competition that equals cutting each other's throats. Idk.. everything is through networking which I am building right now. I did some boring financial analyst jobs that suck the life out of you (summer internships).

right now I am split and I have no idea. Would love to chat with you about your experiences though later on..

You're definitely right. I had a great cable swing short I put on the other day that got taken at BE, but was at the start of a lovely drop.

I thought it would be cool to be on a trading desk too but the reality is that there's no decision making at all, you are just the bitch of dudes across the country/world and at the HQ that are actually making the decisions. No discretion on my behalf whatsoever. That comes when you get a corner office and an official big-swinging-dick status.

As for the BS jobs I was referring to any job at all that would allow you to focus on trading. Even being a janitor or a security guard.

Do the internships man. There are half a dozen interns at my firm doing data entry for the BSDs. It's a win-win because you either prove yourself and get a job or you get a great resume builder.

I am sad that I can't post on FF anymore and am trying to figure out a way to continue to collaborate with the excellent folks here.

My email is {Email Address Removed}. I'd love anyone who posts here to hit me up once I'm unable to post.

congrats on not being able to post on ff.

but if you want it that bad... damn.... (lol) just argue with them that it's not security related site. they might let you get away with that.
I started to dispute this but was told I'd be fired if I pushed.

It's not FINRA that's causing the turbulence, it's the firm's policy regarding social media. My direct superior told me that "there's no way for them to archive [my posts]"

April 7 is my first licensing exam, after which the firm will supposedly be liable for posts I make here because it may be construed as "investment advice" on which some silly people may take action.

Nonsense of course but dissent within the ranks is a terminable offense.

I did point out that there's no way for anyone to associate me with the firm as I've not said their name or even attached my name to any of my posts or profile (until my previous post)

thats what i see and i might be wrong

1- we might revisit 3290's and come back for a new lows of corse we have a lot of obstacles in the way 3240's 20's 3180's 40's and more sure the 3000 will give a big fight but the end target will be first 2900's then 2600's

2- we might visit sisse then all the above

3- aclose above 3310's will open 3370's and 3450's then all no.1

thats dumb sure i am high bastards
