Why You Don't Need Real-Time Quotes |

C.V. is a real trader. We agreed not to use his real name. He does not want the publicity, nor, frankly, does he need it. He makes his living trading. I have three years of his trades. All are real-time trades. I first talked with C.V. when he lived in Washington, D.C. I saw his account statements and tried to urge him to trade a fund. Today, he lives in upstate New York overlooking a quiet lake in an historical home (circa 1830) that he and his wife are renovating. You will not find C.V. on any news group. Want to meet a trader who really trades from home and makes a living at it? Here is a rare opportunity. |

C.V.: At about the age of 28. I recall reading an article on futures trading in The Wall Street Journal; in fact, there was a series of articles about a number of financial professions. At the time, I was a young lawyer with a wife and two children to support. So I knew that was not the time, but it was something I always wanted to do. |
