G10 fx, bonds and derivatives trader. Home based, running proprietary algos. My workday is something like 30 minutes i guess.

>>56793723
Oh shit, I still feel bad for you bro... Colon cancer at 4. It's crazy how life is unfair sometimes.
I'm an attorney. I enjoy destroying the anuses of incompetent lawyers.
>>56793723
>primary caregiver to my 4 year old son with colon cancer
Fuck man, i'm sorry. What does the doc say?
>>56793723
Hope your son gets better, cancer sucks
>>56793723
Are you making the most of that Canadian healthcare?
autism bux from IED injury
>>56793893
i want to have your job
>>56793893
Running algos, on the stock markets? Why not trade bitcoin then. Bots, and everything is legal.
Fuck trading traditional markets. Not enough volatility, and all the action is in the first hour.
Not to mention you say your proprietary, are you going through a trading house, broker for a discount?
If so and you are so smart you realize they are front-running your trades. Or at least that's how it is here.
TDameritrade, and the bigger trading companies actually forward their trades to the big banks.
>>56793723
Terrible, so sorry to hear that. I hope he grows up to kick your ass in the vidya.
>>56793893
teach me your ways
>>56794135
An IED gave you autism?
Nice try FBI
>>56793893
how much do you make? are you self-employed? can i do this job too?
>>56794138
Come and get it
>>56794156
I know, i know. But frontrunning is the least of your problems when you have a bunch of cunts who actually stop hunt your trades to generate liquidity for them.
Bitcoins? Nah, it's all rigged to hell, i don't trust anything that doesn't have an order book, not to mention the spreads.
I used to do statistical arbitrage, before realizing that trend following systems are immensely more profitable, at least for me, and require only a minimum of time. My algos merely warn me when something has shifted in terms of volume and/or price, the decision process is discretionary. I also keep an eye on the macros
Oh and it's true, there are people out there who have insider informations, all the time. Never knew how bad it was until i started trading
>>56793569
study international affairs at uni while working
70% of my faculty are women, this semestet i fucked 4 girls multiple times (kinda in rotations)
i also sell weed, to get extra cash
28, clinical psychologist
I enjoy my job, I know some people on here don't take it seriously but I do help people
>>56794497
>"Bitcoins? Nah, it's all rigged to hell"
That's the whole point. The market is rigged as well but only for those with pings in picoseconds. Bitcoin is at least the wild wild west cheaters galore. But it also makes it easier to make money becuase you don't have people intercepting trades because there isn't a single central market.
As far as I'm concerned at least bitcoin has the volatility and liquidity for getting rich quick.
I could make more on a day like today in Bitcoin 10k a day, vs the stocks maybe 800-1000 usd in a day.
I study economy and Management, and I run my independent music label. I don't consider it a "proper" work since iIcan't sustain myself only with it, but still...
>>56793569
I used to be in the pepe business.
I used to buy and sell rare pepes for a living
Did pretty well.
Now I'm looking for new trends, I believe that Kat have a great market, and in this economy is a great investment.
And also the most solicited trend in the last months are against isis/islam, is good money, but you got to be careful where to sell it, and specially careful with the buyer. Is risky, but worthwhile
>>56794451
>how much do you make?
Not as much as you would expect senpai. Forget about le wulf of wall street, if you think you can make millions, you'd better off becoming a hooker. A self employed engineer usually earns much more a year. Really. It's more of a side income thing
And 95% of traders actually lose their shirt in a quarter or two. The remaining 5% are 1) Institutional traders 2)Masochists. I'm dead serious. I had to spend a year and a half in front of a fucking computer screem to figure out how the whole thing works. And i would have never done it if i had knew it in advance
>>56794772
No senpai, you need expensive infrastructures to do bitcoin arbitrage, as well as the algos to do that. And given the competion, these algos get arbitraged in weeks nowadays.

I live 5km away from the austrian border, where they'd pay me four times much...but I fucking hate austrians from the gut.
I'm living alone in a small flat, enjoying life yet
>>56794900
I would be interested in such side income. Dont forget that 1000$ is average salary in the Czech Republic.
Do you have any advices? Steps?

Small Engine mechanic for Stihl. Good job but I live in a southern fried shithole of a town so the pay is terrible along with seasonal hours.
Sales for a large company. The job itself sucks, but the pay and benefits are decent.
Comic artist.
Yes, I know that guy who appeared in the news a little whil ago with the supposedly "anti-semitic" cartoon comparing Israel to an overpriced "natural" grocery store.
Anyhow, my job isn't paying well and I fear that next year I'll have to go back to working for others again.

I'm a college student studying to be a cop and an army national guard MP, I like being an MP but I'm only a freshman in college so all of these gen-ed classes that have nothing to do with my major make me feel like I'm wasting taxpayer money, at least it's a community college so it doesn't cost so much. I hope I get a chance to go to Iraq or Afghanistan since a GWOT deployment can get the college requirement waved for most police departments.
get paid to shill on this board, cnn comments section and youtube mainly. I don't shill on this board anymore though(they don't pay for it anymore), but I'm on cnn and youtube all day.
I've had a couple interesting jobs
I'm currently a private investigator. I was previous an undercover investigator for the Humane Society of the United States. Yes, I made some of those "videos" you see on the internet inside slaughterhouses, farms, etc. Last year I came out as speaking AGAINST those videos and in favor of farms, slaughterhouses, etc, much to the anger of HSUS. Luckily, I'm an independent contractor now, they can't blackball my employer into firing me because bitch I sign my own checks now

Still a long road ahead of me but I've experienced some events that go beyond coincidence. Exact nature I'm not willing to discuss but I'm making some gains. It's a tough road though.
28 years old. I just defended my masters and graduated early this year.
I have a job and make about 80k. But that isn't enough. I want to start up a website that teaches millenials to stop using shitty news sources and believing everything they hear on social media.
I get 50 cents per post on social network sites. Doesn't sound that much, but when you don't do much else it's a nice income.
>>56793569
Freelance writing and freelance programming. Money is sometimes good, sometimes not. I also work part-time with a private investigation firm doing 'skip tracing'-type stuff--essentially dropping dox for a living.
Between all of that I make enough to get by. Work from 20-40 hours a week, depending on how much freelance shit I get.
Network security consultant here.
I own my own company and I work almost every day.
I have essentially cornered the market where I live and there are tons of business that are supposed to go by standards but arent. So I can come in and do a pentest, pop a bunch of boxes and essentially make a fuckload of money.
After that, I set them up for quarterly audits and I just run Nessus and use a customized report.
>>56793774
You should go on strike, organize a protest and demand $15 an hour.

I love my job. Very fulfilling and has great perks.

Oh kurwa
Bartender while going through college.
I'm happy with it. It helped me overcome my social anxiety. The money's good enough.
Warrant Officer in US Army. I fucking love it. Right now I run a 12 man counter artillery radar section. Next job will be locating targets, determining accurate grid coordinates and have planes drop bombs on them. Every bomb that is being dropped in iraq and Syria right now starts out with a guy like me figuring out all the aspects of the target before the plane actually releases ordnance.
English major in Denmark.

>>56795772
hey you're the first warrant i've met who isn't aviation related!
>>56794497
What did you exactly studied?
I'm in nursing school. I fucking hate everything about it. And having social anxiety makes every 10x worst. Most of the other students are women, and most of the other guys are fags. I feel detached from everyone there. The only reason I put up with it is because a nursing degree would facilitate immigration for me. Otherwise, my life is dull and aimless. Sometimes I just want to give up and live in mediocrity for the rest of my life. I'm too afraid of death to kill myself, but I'm also very afraid of my future.

I've always considered becoming a clinical psychologist, but the thing is if you don't go all the way and finish with your PHD then you're fucked. My mom has a master's in psychology and during the height of her career she made less than 40k a year. It was a really shit job too, she worked with all the special ed kids that were too retarded for the school to stick in regular classes. How difficult was it to finish your education?
